Product: Credit reporting — 
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation — Problem with statement of dispute
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I disputed an entry on my Experian credit report for a previous mortgage I had with XXXX XXXX XXXX. The entry reports a 30 day late for XXXX & XXXX which are incorrect. The mortgage was paid off XXXX when the home was sold. Supporting documentation was sent certified mail to Experian on XXXX separate occasions ( again in XXXX ) proving the loan was paid off and the entries were invalid. Both times Experian returned the results as being confirmed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX about the issue who advised they only reported the loan being paid in full for XXXX and there was no payment status reported for XXXX or XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX agreed to send a letter advising the there were no late payments for those XXXX months. Due to the errors in my credit report I am unable to close on a new home until the report is corrected. Both XXXX and XXXX report the trade line correctly, but Experian refuses to correct the entries even with supporting documentation and a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX confirming the entry is invalid. I would just like my credit report corrected to reflect the correct information so I can close on my new home. Any assistance you can provide with this matter would be greatly appreciated

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account status
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
Experian refuses to update my credit record, specifically as it refers to previous delinquincies that were unknown to me, whether it is refusing to update when either myself or the collection agencies have provided updated information. This has a profound effect on my position to purchase and denies me any type of due process or resolution. I have submitted documentation in writing, with delivery confirmation, as well as five ( 5 ) attempts to update this information from the collection company. Experian has not updated my report since XX/XX/2016, more an 150 DAYS have elapsed and their inability or refusal to honor my request or the transmission of debt resolution from the collection agency compounds the harm I am experiencing. They MUST be held accountable and if they can not report acurately, reguarly, or fairly then they should NOT be allowed to reprt at all.

Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action — Attempted to/Collected exempt funds
Company: Guglielmo and Associates
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted by Guglielmo & ASSOC. regarding a credit card that was sent the debt collector above. I telephone them and made payment arrangements for {$100.00} for the first XXXX months as they would n't take my offer. I made ALL of these payments on time. During the seventh month they would discuss further how I was to pay this off so I sent them a registered letter offering them {$500.00} over and above the {$600.00}. I NEVER received a reply to my letter. Then out of the clear blue sky I received a document BANK GARNISHMENT to garnish my XXXX XXXX account. I called Guglielmo & ASSOC. and I spoke to a XXXX asking what I could do to continue to settle this debt and that I had sent them an offer. HE WAS EXTREMELY RUDE, stating it was too late and there is nothing more they could do for me. He claims they tried only to reach me by phone. I NEVER RECEIVED any voice mails. I have a very old phone sometimes the voice mail does not work. XXXX told me it was n't his problem I have old technology. Again I asked him if there was anything else we could do to settle the debt. He said NO. I told him I am on a fixed income. I only collect Social Security and he said he did n't care. So now I am still trying to settle this debt but I feel this collection agency set me up and tried to take exempt funds knowingly. He also stating that I would lose the {$600.00} in payment I already made on time.

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection — Billing dispute
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I ordered a credit report from Experian in which they offered a credit tracking service on a 7-day trial basis. I did not discover they were billing my credit card until months later when I checked my bank statement online. 
I attempted to obtain a refund for the charges as I did not wish to order their credit tracking service, only a copy of the credit report. Experian did refund one month 's charges but refused to refund the remaining balance of approximately {$130.00}. 
I do understand I should have read the order more closely, as well as monitored my bank statements. However, I do not believe it is ethical business practice to force consumers to purchase a service along with their credit report. Experian should offer customers the OPTION of registering for this service when they order a credit report but should not make it mandatory.

Complaint narrative:
We had recently discovered we were losing {$5.00} per month with from an unexplained, and undisclosed new fee that arrived without warning or notice. After further investigation, we then discovered that we have been billed $ XXXX monthly for a " fee for less than XXXX bill pays ''. This has apparently going back at least a year from XX/XX/XXXX, and possibly longer, likely beginning around the time we moved to a different city in XX/XX/XXXX. Yes, that 's a a fee for LESS bill pays. In summary, we were billed at least 12 times for a service, for an amount that exceeds the actual value of the service, for using the service LESS than an arbitrary amount of times.

Complaint narrative:
We were notified today XX/XX/2016 that we have Hard Credit Inquiries on our Credit Reports ( XXXX, Experian and XXXX ) for a loan that we DID NOT apply for. 
The following companies XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and others have run Hard Inquiries against our credit reports and we have Never heard of these companies before. We call XXXX and Experian and they put a Freeze on Our Credit Reports. XXXX has not put a freeze on yet. XXXX and Experian said we would have to call these companies as ask to have the Hard Credit Inquiries removed but we said this is FRAUD. We had a freeze put on our credit reports so no more credit inquiries can be made for now. We have already had our credit scores reduced by these Fraudulent Credit Inquiries. We need help in all of this since XXXX and Experian and XXXX DOES Not want to help us. We paid money to have the freezes put on each credit report. Do we now need to seek a lawyer to help us and have to pay for the lawyers fees too? We have tried for a long time to get improved credit scores but in a flash our scores are lower and we did not even apply for any loans or miss payments but are being penalized with no one to help us.

XXXX. 
Every time in attempt to obtain my free annualcreditreport from XXXX the sites CAPTCA codes do not propperly display XXXX 's or XXXX 's. You cant tell the diffrence between an O or a XXXX, or a XXXX or an i. If you are unlucky and fail 3 times your locked out. 
More frustrating is the fact that the credit file questions are completly wrong or their systems are down. You are forced to call the " Big XXXX '' to figure things out. When doing so you are being solicited products. This has to be by design! By LAW they are required to provide a FREE credit report each year via the web interface! What is will you do to improve your Captca code module and what will you do to audit the big XXXX 's web interface success rate vs failure ( mail ) the big XXXX must have their systems up to accept requests, as their internal systems sure seem to work. 

Attached is a screen shot of experian 's bad list of credit file questions that do NOT pertain to me. When I choose none of the above their system fails or says system down.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, About 10 months ago I was a victim of identity theft and went through all required procedures to protect myself. I filed a police report and FTC affidavit and notified all XXXX credit bureaus who shared the information with each other for my protection. After 6 months of working with the police everything was back to normal. Since fraud alerts make every financial transaction regarding credit or employment very sensitive I sent official letters to each agency with my passport scan and social security card scan along with employment identification making an official request to have the fraud alerts and security freeze removed. To my surprise only the XXXX agency has complied. There is still a short statement on my XXXX report and lengthy comment on Experian with 90 day extension. The exact opposite of what I legally had requested removed under federal rights! I want these statements removed! Their inability to listen and follow instructions caused problems for me today during a particular transaction so this is it. I have attached a letter which was sent out in XX/XX/XXXX ...

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I mailed Experian a CERTIFIED LETTER indicating that my credit file needed correcting, and that the subject public judgement in favor of XXXX XXXX Bank, be removed from my report. All of the proper information regarding my file was included for their easy access and identification, along with my current picture ID for personal verification purposes. 

After six ( 6 ) weeks of no response, I wrote another CERTIFIED LETTER to Experian on XXXX XXXX, XXXX with the request that they automatically delete the subject file from my report, since they provided no response whatsoever, and whereas they obviously were unable to successfully dispute the matter as REQUIRED BY FEDERAL STATUTE within thirty ( 30 ) days of my notification. I also included my original letter along with another copy of my current ID. 

After not hearing from them after another two ( 2 ) week period, I CALLED them on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to once again, address this urgent issue. They told me they were still investigating the matter. I firmly insisted they had had enough time, and that if I did n't have a confirmation email that the filed had been corrected, and the Judgment deleted from my report by Monday XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I would file a formal complaint with your agency.

Both accounts had been previously reported as Identity Theft and BLOCKED by Experian. Subsequently, after a significantly protracted time frame they were incredulously reinstated without any explanation whatsoever and now have surpassed the Statute of Limitations of seven years. Your assistance in having Experian reinstate the BLOCKS on these legacy Identity Theft accounts from XXXX would be greatly appreciated.
