Complaint narrative:
I have written a few times and the bureaus just are n't doing anything for me and I am pretty certain that they are violating the FCRA by not correcting the items that I am disputing. They are reporting a bankruptcy on my file, and yet the accounts that are part of that bankruptcy still have " included in bankruptcy '' which is not supposed to be there. I have repeatedly notified them of this and they failed to remove it. They also did not provide any documentation whatsoever verifying anything.

Complaint narrative:
I wrote Experian because after talking with a mortgage person he said there were problems with my credit report so he had me go to a web site and get my reports. He told me where to find a simple form letter on line and to write the credit bureaus with my questions. Experian sent me a letter saying my letter was suspicions and they refuse to help me. 
I believe since I am a XXXX they are discriminating against me. I am educated and know my rights. I have read what they are.

Complaint narrative:
Today, on XXXX XXXX, XXXX I noticed a couple of additional examples of fraudulent activity on my credit report. Usually I am able to see my credit report at anytime via Experian 's credit monitoring, but over the past few weeks for whatever reason they are having problems being able to access my credit file. 

My concerns are that I have ( XXXX ) additional inquiries from the same third party company requesting my credit file information. 

XXXX, CA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX INQUIRIES PULLED ; XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX This is the same company that had pulled my credit this past XX/XX/XXXX when I was in corporate housing with my company. I am disputing this as fraudulent inquiries and challenge them or whomever they may represent to prove otherwise. I do know that obviously on both of these occasions my credit file was temporarily opened, but this was because for whatever reason Experian 's credit monitoring service asked me to temporarily lift so that a XXXX credit report could be pulled. While I certainly know that this should never be a problem, I do know that once I did this I was able to receive the ( XXXX ) credit reports from Experian, XXXX and XXXX. This is an entirely separate issue that I will have to come back to address at a later time. 

Please dispute these XXXX inquiries as fraudulent as these are both not authorized. I have already disputed ( XXXX ) inquiries against them in the past ( XXXX & XXXX of XXXX ) and both were successfully removed accordingly. Please remove these. I can be reached anytime at XXXX. 

Regards, XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
While looking into applying for a mortgage, I found I have a default civil judgement listed on my Experian credit report. The judgement was obtained fraudulently as I was never served and never had a chance to defend myself in court.Initially I disputed the record as fraudulent, but experian only confirmed the records existence. I then hired a law firm, XXXX XXXX XXXX, to fight this and they set up a settlement with the firm that sued me, XXXX ( NYS index # XXXX ). The settlement agreement stipulated the judgement being vacated with my agreement to pay a {$1300.00} settlement, in monthly {$100.00} payments until paid in full. The case is now closed, the judgement has been vacated for over one month, possibly two months, yet my latest Experian dispute over the matter did not remove the record from my report. Upon receipt of the dispute results yesterday, ( filed XXXX XXXX, 2015 ), I attempted to dispute again online with Experian and was told that I would have to mail my supporting documents when i tried to upload them electronically. Experian has failed to properly investigate my case and is keeping information on my credit report that will continue to prevent my from buying a house for my family.

I tried to Dispute an item on my credit report ( s ) online. 
Online process said I needed a " File Number '' from the report to complete the dispute form. 
I had to " purchase '' the XXXX reports to get this required " file number ''. 
EXPERIAN charged me {$39.00} for the XXXX reports. 
HOWEVER, .... none of the reports had the required " # '' to file the dispute. 
I called them and they said the Charge was Non Refundable even though the reports were " incomplete '' / useless to me. 
Just more money grabbing and no means of recourse for the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I have applied for a credit card three times in the past nine months. After the first application I discovered inaccurate information reported by XXXX. 
The 2nd application resulted in inaccurate information reported by Experian. 
I requested a copy of my credit report from Experian and was informed that there was insufficient credit history to provide a report. 
But when I applied a third time I was then again denied because of " outstanding debts, '' The lending institution, XXXX XXXX XXXX provided XXXX account numbers associated with its report alleging bad credit. 
Both of these accounts are with XXXX XXXX Bank with which I have NO association. 
However, XXXX XXXX is listed as an authorized user. I have never applied for, nor received ANY credit from XXXX XXXX Bank AND as a matter of fact have been denied a credit card three times now. 
I have submitted fraud alerts with both XXXX and Experian. For some reason the online system with all XXXX agencies would not allow me to proceed. I also too have submitted a request to XXXX. 
With each correspondence with any and or all of these agencies I have submitted copies to the CFPB. 
I would appreciate any assistance that can be provided in clearing my good name and credit status.I strongly suspect that I have become a victim of identity theft and am working closely with all credit reporting agencies, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, XXXX XXXX, and the Social Security Administration to clear my good name and credit report.

Each time, Experian violates the FCRA and fails to investigate and correct my file. This HARD INQUIRY was not authorized by me, was made without my knowledge or permission, and was NOT FOR A PERMISSIBLE PURPOSE under the FCRA. The Statute requires Experian to delete this hard inquiry in the event it can not substantiate a permissible purpose, of which none exists. 

Yet Experian continue to violate the FCRA overtly, This is wrong, and I formally demand a further reinvestigation into their illegal practices. I can not prove a negative. The burden does not lie upon me. The FCRA was clearly written to protect consumers. How do I prove permission never existed? I can not prove a negative. And yet Experian continues to illegally report this hard inquiry. Under the FCRA, I am entitles to statutory damages of {$1000.00} PER INCIDENT in which Experian does not follow the law. 

Do I really have to sue? Or will the Bureau enforce the law and actually protect consumers? 

This hard inquiry MUST BE DELETED as it was not for a permissible purpose, and not authorized by me. 

I expect the law to be followed and this hard inquiry to be immediately deleted. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed this information as being fraudulent and not mine, or opened by me. They have disregarded some of my disputed and then some they have said the accounts were verified which could not be because the credit grantor could not provide me with proof the accounts were opened by me. I have been dealing with this issue for over a year now and I 'm at the point to where I need to hire an attorney to get this resolved if this dispute is n't settled this time. If that is the case I will be suing the credit reporting agency and the original credit grantor on file for each account in dispute.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and I would like to file a compliant against Experian for reporting XXXX collection accounts to my name that have been paid through my insurance in full and no longer owed. Beginning on XX/XX/XXXX I began my dispute process with Experian, which has been XXXX of the most tormenting experiences of my life. Initially they processed my dispute and quickly claimed it was verified to me. Then, I began sending them requests to know how these items were verified when my insurance had covered the balances completely through XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. That is when Experian began sending me, what I suspect, were letters to stall me and discourage me from pursuing anymore evidence or verification. At least XXXX times on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX they responded to my concerns with letters claiming that I was being " suspicious '' and potentially " fraudulent '' and that they refused to process any more of my disputes. I am so confused by how a credit reporting company, who has my California drivers License, social security card, bank statements and everything else necessary to verify me can still accuse me of not being me. I have almost felt as though they wanted to pursue legal or criminal action against me! I felt threatened and now I have no where else to turn regarding some inaccuracies and false reporting. I have also filed CFPB complaints against XXXX in XXXX CA, for illegally and fraudulently reporting onto my credit file with Experian. Under FCRA guidelines I am aware that as a consumer I have rights to dispute inaccurate and invalid items and that my credit must be reported with 100 % accuracy and this is absolutely in violation of that and can not threaten me for disputing inaccurate information. I truly question the tactics Experian utilizes to verify disputes.

I have not been able to find anyone at the credit reporting agencies whom can assist me. I am seeing " soft '' credit inquiries on my report that I am not authorizing. Companies are doing soft credit checks then sending catalogs out I am not asking for. By sending these catalogs out, it opens the door for someone other than me to use credit in my name. It then becomes burden of proof I did n't request it. There are multiple inquiries that are sister company 's of XXXX wards. 
I do not authorize anyone with out proven written evidence I have authorized a credit check.

Complaint narrative:
Dear XXXX : After diligently trying to resolve a billing issue with Experian Credit Monitoring through their customer service department known as XXXX I have received no help and would like to ask that you look into the matter. 
In XXXX I signed up for their service, I called to cancel 2 years later not needing it anymore. A rep offered me a lower rate of XXXX down from XXXX. I accepted. Two years later in XXXX XXXX the company started billing me XXXX again. I did n't catch it until XXXX XXXX. I have attempted to resolve this overbilling with them but all they did was tell me they would refund one month which they have not ( been almost 1 month since then ). They state that I was on a trial when in fact my trial month was way back in XXXX. I was in fact on a reduced rate with no given expiration. I am very distressed that this criminal business practice is not prosecuted. I 'm looking to you for your help. All correspondence is included below. 

As you can see from the bills uploaded, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX as well as bills from XXXX and XXXX of XXXX ( new doc XXXX ) my rate was XXXX, more than 2 months before it went up, proving I was not on a 30 day trial. Additionally, I still have received NO REFUND as they stated they would give me 1 month as a courtesy. This disreputable business has taken my money and wasted my time. Please help.
