Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/22 I received an email from Experian stating that I given limited information in regards to my dispute already in progress. This private company is demanding access to my social security credit card number which is negotiable instrument with no contract with me nor court order. It appears as if they are violating my right to privacy. The company has already utilized my personal information without my knowledge with other companies. These negative transactions that are being reported are impacting my ability to attain my rights to acquire the basic necessities of life for example a quality home, decent car and educational aspirations for my children. I feel like I am being extorted by Experian with these demands.
