Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to address ongoing and unresolved issues with Experians customer service and account access that have caused significant frustration and concern regarding my ability to manage my credit.

First, it is impossible to reach a live representative at Experian. The phone number they provide routes to an automated system with no option to speak to a real person, and it offers no assistance for issues that fall outside of a narrow set of options. This lack of accessibility is highly problematic, especially for a company that handles sensitive personal and financial information.

I am currently trying to log in to unfreeze my credit, but I am encountering the same issues I faced previously on XX/XX/year>. On that day, I spent over three hours across 14 separate calls, starting at XXXX XXXX CT and ending at XXXX XXXX  CT, without resolving my issue. I have recordings of all these calls, which I can provide if needed.

When I finally reached a representative, I was told my account had been deactivated due to inactivity, even though I had logged in within the last six months. I was instructed to create a new account, but when I attempted to do so, the system was unable to verify my identity and directed me back to the toll-free number, leaving me stuck in an endless loop of unhelpful automated prompts.

Although I was eventually able to unfreeze my credit on my own, I am now experiencing the same issue as I try to log in again. This pattern of system failures and inadequate support has left me justifiably frustrated.

I believe that if I were paying for a premium service such as credit monitoring, these issues would not be happening. It is unacceptable for a company like Experian, which profits from selling personal financial data and holds significant control over my credit information, to fail to provide adequate customer service to address account access issues. The companys failure to answer phone calls or provide timely assistance for basic services needs immediate attention.

I am requesting that the CFPB look into Experians business practices, specifically its lack of adequate customer service for account management and credit freezes.

Received a phone message from XXXX about a case number XXXX and asked to call back immediately to " the issuing agent '' at XXXX. 
The message said there were documents regarding my file being prepared to be sent out and needed to be available to sign for the documents. They called 2 other people in my family with the same message. 
Upon returning the call, the lady said she could give me a brief synopsis and it was concerning a Capital One debt ( that has already been satisfied years ago ). The caller had my social security number. Once I said I wasn't sure about the validity of this information, the lady said she wasn't there to discuss that and hung up on me. 
Makes me nervous due to the fact she actually had my social security number.

PennyMac had erroneously filed a 1099-C " Cancellation of Debt '' in the amount of {$120000.00}.

I had sent them a Notice of Error to which they responded ( in part ) that they would adjust the amount to a lower amount of {$12000.00}.

So, now there are ( 2 ) 1099-C 's " Cancellation of Debts '' on my record with the IRS & NYS tax dept... .for both amounts.

PennyMac needs to COMPLETELY REMOVE the 1st 1099-C ( for the {$120000.00} ) from my record completely.

ADDING an additional erroneous 1099-C isn't applicable.

I shall deal with the 2nd erroneous 1099-C ( for the {$12000.00} ) in a separate complaint.
