Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have filed disputes with Experian for the last 6 months and they are not investigating or sending method of validation as I have requested. They are refusing to investigate claims that are not valid. This statement is on my credit report : XXXX & XXXX XXXX ID SECURITY ALERT : FRAUDULENT APPLICATIONS MAY BE SUBMITTED IN MY NAME OR MY IDENTITY MAY HAVE BEEN USED WITHOUT MY CONSENT TO FRAUDULENTLY OBTAIN GOODS OR SERVICES. DO NOT EXTEND CREDIT WITHOUT FIRST VERIFYING THE IDENTITY OF THE APPLICANT. THIS SECURITY ALERT WILL BE MAINTAINED  FOR 1 YEAR BEGINNING XXXX. Experian has permitted inquiries which I have not authorized as I'm not trying to obtain credit because I'm in the process of disputing items that are not correct and this statement clearly states that Experian should not allow this to happen and I would like them removed. I have disputed two Bankruptcies : US BKPT CT IL  XXXX XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy ChapterXXXX-petition filed Original filing date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Latest status date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX US BKPT CT IL XXXX XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy chapter XXXX-discharged Original filing date : XX/XX/XXXX Latest status date : XX/XX/XXXX and they are not investigating these or verifying they belong to me. The courts do not verify information and XXXX obtains public information which they state may not be  correct. I have contacted XXXX and my account in frozen with them and can ; t be accessed so how is Experian validating information XXXX says may be incorrect because they can't validate this information as stated on their website and dcoumentation they send you. I have 19 inquiries and I have not authorized any of them and would like them removed and several are from the same company multiple times.Experian is allowing these companies to update my credit reports based off information in the disputes that I'm providing during my disputes instead of deleting them for inaccurate information. They are not investigating XXXX  but allowing them to update an account that is  charged off with dates that don't make sense or add up. Experian is allowing inaccurate information to remain and are providing the companies with the disputed information to allow them to update my report incorrectly instead of deleting the information. I have not filed bankruptcy but Experian is reporting that I have and have listed two accounts as being in bankruptcy but yet XXXX  is not included. This  misinformation is enough for the bankruptcies and the XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX  accounts to be removed. I would also like the method of validation not verification but validation per FCRA to be mailed to me.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Navient to inquire about why I am continuing to be charged interest on my student loans. The representative indicated that my loans with Navient did not qualify under the CARES Act because they were acting as a " collection agency '' on my loans. The loans were previously defaulted on and  were held by XXXX. In XXXX, the loans were then sold to Navient and I began receiving correspondence from Navient regarding the loans. When the loans were transferred from XXXX to Navient, there were excessive fees added to each loan that Navient is now collecting on and charging interest on these fees by deceptively adding them into the total balance. I now have loan balances that are upwards of 95 % more than the original loan amounts. I asked the Navient representative for an audit of my account and was advised that I could not receive one. Original first dates of delinquency prior to XXXX have not been acknowledged. Also, XXXX is acting as guarantor of my student loans for the Department of Education. Navient is only either " collecting '' or servicing, however Navient has not made it clear exactly which capacity it is acting under.

Subsequently, each month, my balance is doubled and interest is charged and reported to Transition, hurting my credit score although the loans are supposed to show deferred as I am currently in school. The fluctuations in the total amounts owed is causing undue hardship to me because these balance fluctuation are affecting my overall debt to income ratios, diminishing my credit scores and giving an inaccurate picture of my credit worthiness to potential creditors that I may wish to work with.
