Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
The consumer reporting agencies ( CRA ) continued to report inaccurate and inconsistent information on my credit report. I have disputed these accounts for the past 60 days with the original creditors and have received few followups with the creditors but CRA 'S are inconsistent in verifying this information. All these agencies should be reporting same information and investigate disputes that the consumer requested, instead they continue to resolve disputes without providing me with the methods use to verify the information. I have send letters with all documentation needed but they keep saying investigation still in progress. I have several accounts that says resolved but the status was never updated and unknown addresses and variations of my name continue to be added on my report, after I disputed that information and sent a valid identification, SSN and utility bill to verify my identity. As a victim of identity theft, I request you do a thorough investigation and provide with information requested.
