Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for not properly investigating the disputes of fraud on my credit report. I have been requesting an investigation and the removal of the fraudulent XXXX XXXX XXXX account from my credit report for over a year. They consistently respond within XXXX hours saying the account is accurate, without providing any proof of investigation. Even when I request it. 
I have provided the requested " additional documents proving my identity '' SEVERAL times. I have sent ID cards, my social security card, bank statements, the title to my car, my military CAC card, credit card statements, utility bills, police report, identity theft reports, etc. It is clear they have not taken the time to investigate this fraud.

I have filed disputes and sent them information atleast 10 times in the year and a half. 
I provided them with police reports and even had XXXX do an independent investigation and they found that the account was fraud and could not be verified. 
They could not have properly investigated and they violated my consumer rights by not blocking this identity theft from my credit report when I requested it over a year ago. 
Please see attached documents from the past several months.
