Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the personal information on my credit report because there are multiple inaccuracies that do not match my actual details. These errors include incorrect names, phone numbers, addresses, Social Security number, and date of birth. These inaccuracies are causing confusion and could potentially lead to more serious problems, such as identity theft. 

Heres what happened : 1. Incorrect Name : My credit report lists a different name than my legal name. I have never used the name that appears on the report. This mistake was first noticed when I reviewed my credit report on XX/XX/year>. 

2. Wrong Phone Numbers : The report includes phone numbers that are not mine. I have never used or been associated with these phone numbers. I discovered this when I reviewed my report on the same date.

3. Incorrect Addresses : My credit report shows addresses where I have never lived. These incorrect addresses may have been added by mistake or due to confusion with another person 's information. I noticed these errors during my review on XX/XX/year>. 

These errors have caused complications in processing financial applications and have raised concerns about the potential misuse of my identity. I am seeking to have my accurate personal information reflected in my credit report to avoid further issues. I appreciate your prompt action on this matter.

The account was paid in full for any charges made prior to XX/XX/XXXX. Any charges arising from the usage of the utilities after XX/XX/XXXX, should be charged to the property owner or current tenant. 

The account was sold to a third-party collection agency named XXXX XXXX HUDSON VALLEY XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX corporate office ; XXXX North XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, a certified XXXX letter was sent to XXXX XXXXXXXX HUDSON VALLEY  XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX, disputing the debt claim. The alleged debt was scheduled to default on XX/XX/XXXX, for failure to respond by or before XX/XX/XXXX.
