This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance.

Company: Aldous & Associates, PLLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had a monthly membership with XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX. I canceled my membership with 30 days notice on XX/XX/2024. They replied confirming the cancellation, and said theyd charge me a full extra month on XX/XX/XXXX, rather than a prorated amount for one week of membership. When I replied inquiring about this, they claimed that no proration would happen and a full month would be charged. I looked at the contract that i signed and the only statements about cancellation on the contract said that the last month would be prorated. I asked them about this and they claimed that proration doesnt apply to month-to-month contracts. I asked where on the contract it said this and they showed me nothing. i read the contract and it said nothing about this. They sent me a screenshot from a COMPETITOR gym contract showing the policy, but not their own! It is NOT in my contract. I would be happy to pay the prorated amount but they refused and stopped responding to my emails. They then repeatedly attempted to charge my card the extra charge, so I blocked them as fraud with my bank. Now, Aldous and Associates is calling me repeatedly for the baseless debt and saying they will send a report to the credit bureau! Over a charge that is not even under contract!!! This is unlawful.

Complaint narrative:
I need to unfreeze my credit with Experian in order to open a new joint checking account at my spouse 's bank. I can access my accounts with XXXX and XXXX XXXX, however I can not login to my account with Experian, which is the credit bureau the bank uses to vet account holders. 

I tried resetting my Experian password online, however didn't receive their text prompts to my phone. I suspect the phone number is inaccurate in their system. There's no alternate password verification pathway that doesn't involve my phone, such as email verification. 

On XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX I tried calling multiple Experian customer service hotlines including : - XXXX ( XXXX ) - XXXX - XXXX - XXXX None of the automated phone menu options could resolve my issue, nor was I ever able to connect to a live person to help me get access to my account information. 

I also emailed their online support ( XXXX ) and received an automated response that the email account was " decommissioned '' ( messages attached ). 

I'm at my wits end about how to correct my contact information and get access to my own data. I have no choice whether my data is managed by Experian or not, however I do need access to my own data through their service. My data has been included in numerous breaches including the Federal government and Experian data breaches. I need to keep my credit frozen to protect my identity and need access to control those freezes in order to manage my financial health.
