Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score — Problem getting report or credit score
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
My issue is about the XXXX point reduction in my credit score in less than 60 days with no logical or tangible explanation about how my score can drop by XXXX points when there have been no significant changes to my record. There is no suitable option in the CFPB drop down listing of options for making this type of complaint and the matter of credit score which is so central to the access to jobs, insurance, housing, etc. by a consumer 's is not very transparent. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, my credit score with Experian was XXXX and as of today, it is XXXX and XXXX points lower. There have been no new accounts added to my portfolio of accounts and in fact, I have paid off a couple of accounts ; XXXX delinquencies have dropped off and any other delinquency ( except for a new one with XXXX XXXX which is being disputed ) was only account in XXXX. Experian needs to explain specifically what has changed in 60 days to result in a XXXX point drop and I have had no additional inquiries. What I have observed over the years, is that during the period when I am paying {$19.00} to any of the credit reporting agencies, my score goes up and soon after I discontinue the monitoring service, there is a reduction in my score. This almost gives the perception that consumers are somewhat arbitrarily being penalized when they discontinue the service especially since I have never been able to get an explanation about the reduction in my score. The credit scoring process is like a blackhole and the high level explanation about the percentage composition of deriving the score is simply not good enough. In my case, given the very short duration, Experian should be able to provide me with the specific changes that amounted to a XXXX point reduction in my score since XXXX XXXX.

I received a threatening voice mail which I have recorded. 
This firm called me and stated they were the Law Firm of XXXX XXXX XXXX and that I missed a court appearance. 
I was very concerned as I have had financial problems in the past. 
I was told I was paying a judgment and it was a major discount. There were threats made to me if I did not comply.I have all of the paperwork to support this. 
I became very alarmed when I received a call and a letter from a firm stating that my account had been " recalled '' from Nelson Cruz and Associates and that my account was a simple collection matter. 
I was alerted that the payment made to this firm was not reported to them and they were shocked to see the evidence I had. 
I have read about this firm and have found nothing but negative statements and complaints. 
They are clearly a fraud and a scam. 
It is run by a man named XXXX XXXX that I have found out has been arrested XXXX.

I have a duplicate account on my Experian Credit file and I have disputed this information with Experian on more than one occassion yet they continue to report XXXX the accounts. I do n't understand how XXXX different collection agencies can even own the same debt much less XXXX them report it on my credit report. I have attached a copy of my Experian credit report showing that XXXX the accounts say XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as attached documentation from both of the companies that they sent to me when I requested validation. Whether I owe the debt or not is not the point in this situation. The fact is that this account has been misreporting for years now and affected interest rates etc. for anything I have purchased. I 've spent hours disputing the accounts and following up and I 've done my part to get the issue resolved and seems as though noone can get their ducks in a row pertaining to these XXXX accounts being duplicates and both of them reporting. This is illegal.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I got a letter from the Department of Human Services telling me that when I submitted for my kids XXXX my information was breached. I immediately have a previous ID theft alert ( from another information breach ) updated with all XXXX credit reporting agencies. In XX/XX/XXXX I got something from Homeland security telling me the same thing because I am a FEMA certified adjuster. I sent a copy of this item also to the agencies. I found out ( When I was trying to get a mortgage that I was turned down for due to these inaccurate items ) that all three agencies allowed XXXX other items that were fraud on my credit file for 8.5 years instead of 7 and there are countless inquires and medical bills that reoccurs on my credit. Every time I write in concern of the inquires I get a letter back telling me that these items will remain 2 years even though I sent in proof that they were fraud. I also sent in proof of my XXXX insurance dating back to XX/XX/XXXX and all of the invoicing associated with my plan for those years as proof that the medical items that were on my report were fraud because they didnt match any of the visits under my itemized plan. I keep getting letters back from the agencies saying that the items were verified and will remain. I called the creditors and asked what documents they sent the agencies so that I can get a copy for the police. They told me that they only sent over itemized invoices with not signed documentation. I called and wrote the agencies asking them how can they dismiss my proven legitimate documents over invoices from a creditor. Still the items were allowed r=to remain. Not only these items but the inquires also are bringing my scores all the way down. Even my XXXX daughter XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Has bills on her credit file starting from when she was only XXXX and they were allowed to remain. My son XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX has a medical debt on his also ant it was allowed to remain as well. They are both under my plan and has been since XX/XX/XXXX and prior to that they were on XXXX ... They were part of the initial fraud alert XX/XX/XXXX. I am asking that your agency help us with these issues. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I am attaching a copy of my identity as well as the identity for my XXXX children as proof. I an working storm claims so I dont have a copy of the letters from DHS or FEMA on this computer but they should be easy to obtain by your agency. Also the credit agencies has a copy from back when I mailed them to them.

Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score — Problem getting my free annual report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am a retiree concerned about identity theft. So, I logged onto XXXX and tried a few times to request a free credit report from Experian. At the end of the application process each time, I received a message stating : " We are unable to process your request ''. Out of frustration, I logged into www.Experian.com and saw that I could order a credit report if I created an account with Experian and paid only {$1.00}. I did n't see the fine print saying I would be charged monthly if I did n't cancel my account within a 7 day free trial period. After signing up, I received an email from Experian welcoming me, but it did n't mention a 7 day trial or any pending monthly fees. A month later, I was surprised to see that Experian had charged my credit card {$21.00}. When I called to complain, the first person that answered said they could n't refund the charge. When I asked to speak with the supervisor and the person said OK and put me on hold -- I waited for 15 minutes and hung up. When I called back a second time, a different person answered the phone. She agreed to cancel my account and refund the charge, but said if I had waited until XXXX or more charges had been made, they would n't be able to refund the earlier charges. It seems clear to me that Experian is deliberately try to fool people into signing up for the $ XXXX/month service and hoping they do n't notice for a few months. As a minimum, I think : ( a ) Experian should n't be allowed to block efforts to order a free credit report through XXXX, ( b ) their website page offering a credit report for {$1.00} should conspicuously warn the customer about what happens if they do n't cancel within 7 days and ( c ) their welcoming email should again warn the customer about the pending monthly charges. If the customer does n't want the service, they would see the warnings and cancel within 7 days. If the customer did want the service, they would ignore the warnings and continue with Experian. I think it is ironic and totally improper that a company we rely on to protect our financial well-being would resort to such devious practices to increase their profits!
