Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
As of XXXX 2016, my credit scores was XXXX, my debit to credit ratio was reduced, my credit limits were increased, as of today no negative information including inquires were place on my Experian credit report. I applied for a low interest credit cards and was notified my credit scores was lowered to XXXX. 
I attempted to reach out to Experian to obtain explanation and copy of the report, first problem which I have filed several complaint about, is due to the fact I have filed complaints against Experian I am now discriminatorily placed in a special department and only permitted to speak with one representative. If that representative is not available I have to wait days sometimes weeks for a response. 
In addition Experian database was attacked and I am suppose to have free credit protection and access for a set-period of time which I have been denied. 
I placed several calls to Experian to obtain copy of credit report and scores and rational for lowering the credit score to date Experian has refused to provide credit reports, scores. 
Each time I called I have been told I am able to go online to retrieve the report this is not true please find attached a copy of denial of online access from Experian. 
Therefore, I requesting the CFPB investigate the above mentioned discriminatory actions and enact, enforce laws that protect the consumers from this abusive practice.

As you know the apartment complex always changes management ever so many years. I tried going to the apartment and talking to them and they said there has been like XXXX different management companies.

Complaint narrative:
I received a consumers report # XXXX from Experian stating that XXXX XXXX Acct. XXXX ... would be deleted XX/XX/XXXX. The date of that report was XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I requested and received an updated report # XXXX dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX. On this report I notice that XXXX XXXX Acct # XXXX ... was not going to be deleted until XXXX, XXXX. I worked on establishing new credit and in XXXX, XXXX I disputed XXXX XXXX and other items on my credit. They did n't remove it saying I had made payments since then, I did n't understand and continue do n't understand. I disputed again in XXXX, XXXX they refused even look @ it again. This account is listed as closed, yet it is reported as late every month. There are XXXX other accounts that are closed and also being reported as late. I believe these account should be deleted already. Finally, what is so puzzling to me, is my fico score has been consistent for months between XXXX and on XXXX XXXX, XXXX my fico score went from XXXX to XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX my score dropped from XXXX to XXXX but nothing changed on my credit file. The only reason I can see it changed is that I canceled another Experian product around that time. Things that right on my credit file should stay, but things that are in question or in error should be removed. Thanks for consideration.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a mail from Experian in regards to my credit report. I have noticed that the fraudulent XXXX account number # XXXX is still on my credit report and considered negative. I have already contacted XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to dispute the fraudulent charges of {$2100.00} due to Identity Theft. XXXX sent me XXXX letters on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX and advised me that the fraudulent account will be removed. Experian still refused to remove this fraudulent XXXX account from my credit report. I have already filed numerous complaints against Experian in regards to this XXXX fraudulent account for the past 2-4 months. Experian responded back to me and told me it will remove this fraudulent XXXX account. Experian failed to meet consumer 's expectation and serve its customers properly. Experian has been investigating my Identity Theft case for the past 2-4 months and still failed to conduct its investigation properly. I wish Experian will be 100 % honest with me by telling me that it will NOT assist me at all with my Identity Theft case and refuse to remove the fraudulent XXXX account from my credit report. I have proof that XXXX sent me XXXX letters and advised me that it will contact Experian, XXXX and XXXX to remove the fraudulent account from my credit report. XXXX also sent me a letter of apology for my pain and suffering in regards to my Identity Theft. I still have NOT received a letter of apology from Experian. The ONLY thing I received from Experian is negative remarks on my credit report such as XXXX. It is bad enough that the suspect stole my identity on XXXX XXXX and committed the crime of theft at my expense for the past several months. But the situation is getting worse and worse because Experian refused to remove the fraudulent XXXX account from my credit report and falsely accused me of several things such as filing a lost or stolen credit card. I have NEVER filed a lost or stolen credit card in my entire life. I ALWAYS paid my bills on time without penalty. I obey the laws. Experian treated me like a criminal or suspect instead of supporting me as a victim of Identity Theft.

Complaint narrative:
We continue to see low scores from the XXXX credit bureau for many years, and especially Experian. Our payments are always made on time, and the rating we have been given continues to hinder our ability to refi our home which has a very high interest rate. The scores are based on debt ratios or credit card balances. The credit bureau are basing low scores on a few credit cards thus not showing an accurate rating considering an abundance of flawless accounts. We had spent many hours some years ago cleaning up inaccurate information and still the scores continue to remain low. We are not sure if taking legal action would help our situation, but life is too short to have credit bureau dictate our ability to get ahead when scores are based on half the information of an individual. I am sure their scoring methods hurt many families and I find it hard to believe that our justice system would allow this to continue.

This was an error that has been fixed with the updated information send to the XXXX credit bureaus by XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I was told it may take XXXX 45 days to show on my credit history. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I checked my credit history and XXXX was the only one that made the change, while XXXX and Experian have not made the change yet. I contacted XXXX credit bureaus and I was told to send the letter I had from XXXX XXXX stating dated XXXX XXXX, 2016 that stated the following " ... we have submitted a credit correction request to reflect the above referenced mortgage account as current ; paid as agreed for XXXX 2016. '' I uploaded this letter to Experian indicating what had happened and to please correct the information for XXXX 2016 for this creditor, XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I called Experian who has not responded to my dispute yet and has not fixed the problem either and they too are claiming to wait another XXXX to 45 days ( although as of today it has been 48 days ). I do n't understand. I called the creditor, XXXX and they indicated that they have send the report on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and another on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and a follow up on XXXX XXXX. I have urged them to please fix this because is preventing me from buying a new house and since no bank will touch me because it shows a 30 day late notice with XXXX XXXX, I can not get a mortgage loan for 2 years. This is crazy since it was a mistake that has been rectified by the bank, XXXX XXXX, yet the XXXX remaining credit bureaus, XXXX and Experian refuses to make this correction within the quoted time of XXXX45 days. Why are they not held accountable for fixing this? I need to know what do I have to do to expedite this process. Please HELP!

Complaint narrative:
There are XXXX student loan accounts for my Daughter that i was a co-signer on. XXXX of these account were in collection. The agency that serviced these accounts was XXXX and they had written off XXXX accounts in XXXX XXXX. Fast Forward on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) was settled in full thru XXXX XXXX. The XXXX loan on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX was settled in full thru XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX offices who was contracted by XXXX XXXX XXXX.who contracted by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to service their accounts. Since this this time I have been trying to get these XXXX accounts reported correctly on our credit reports. Thru numerous disputes dateing back a year or more i can say that this is a disaster. XXXX claims they have nothing to do with these accounts since they wrote them off in XXXX of XXXX yet they are the ones that have done the reporting and who the credit agencies contact for the dispute. XXXX has done another wonderful thing and that is they have XXXX account number for XXXX of those accounts, which is the account number for the XXXX loan, but the XXXX loan is also under that account number But the actual account number is different. Now XXXX and XXXX have sent XXXX letters that these accounts are settled in full, but on our credit reports they are reporting that the Accounts are in collection with a balance due and a balance past due. XXXX even has gone as far as on the XXXX ( XXXX ) of reporting balance XXXX, Payment received XXXX past due XXXX status in collection.Nothing like mixing the XXXX accounts together. I have sent hours i mean hours on the phone with the credit agencies particular XXXX ( because on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX they finally were reporting correctly ... and changed back to reporting incorrectly on XXXX ). All the hours of phone calls and conversations to the credit agencies and to XXXX they absolutely refuse to report these accounts as settled in full. XXXX says they are reporting correctly and the credit agencies tell me they only report what is sent to them and do not have the power to change it. I have also have been told the proof of settled in full is not acceptable because the account numbers do n't match on the XXXX. As i said XXXX did a wonderful thing by listing both accounts under one account number. And They wo n't Rectify that. I know these accounts were in collection and circumstances at the time led to the accounts going to collection. But when the circumstance changed, i made agreements and paid these off. I have worked hard to build my credit back up and my daughter is building hers, that without these XXXX accounts being reported correctly she ca n't buy a home, our insurance rates are higher etc ... We need help and XXXX and the credit agencies refuse to correct this. Your our last resort. 
thank you
