Complaint narrative:
IN RESPONSE TO EXPERIAN 'S PARTIAL RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT # XXXX - THEIR RESPONSE IS TOTALLY INADEQUATE AND MOVES ME ONE STEP FURTHER TO FILING A LAW SUIT AGAINST THEM AND TO GOING TO THE MEDIA ABOUT THEM AND THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION AND COLLUSION OF THE CREDIT REPORTING INDUSTRY. THIS IS THEIR LAST WARNING. THEY CLAIM THE ADDRESS I SUBMITTED IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MY EXPERIAN CREDIT RECORDS. THAT IS A TOTAL AND INTENTIONAL LIE- I JUST PULLED MY FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT AND IT IS EXACTLY (! ) THE SAME ADDRESS AS IS ON THEIR REPORT. THEY WILL BE SUED WITHIN 30 DAYS IF MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT # XXXX IS NOT RESOLVED TO MY SATISFACTION.

Complaint narrative:
I sent a written dispute into experian to have XXXX medical collections investigated and to get them to get the company to send proper proof that these debts are mine and not a computer automated response. I received a letter from the refusing to reinvestigate these XXXX accounts. I originally disputed them online and like I said earlier, they did a computer automated dispute to the company and didnt fully investigate the accounts. I want them to fully verify these accounts are not mine. That is why I sent the written dispute in to stay out of the computer system generic dispute. They do not have the right to refuse to investigate innacurate info and are required to check the validity of a collection account. I want these XXXX medical collections disputed like I originally requested in my written dispute or removed completely from my report. They are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$760.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$310.00}, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$130.00}. 
Please either investigate thoroughly like I requested in my written dispute and send me the results in the mail or delete these XXXX collections from my report Attached is the letter they sent me refusing to investigate the accounts

Complaint narrative:
I have worked with the credit reporting agency for almost the entire year, I requested proof of validation on a bankruptcy per the fair credit reporting act, which gives me as a consumer the right to have anything on my report validated or it must be removed from my credit report because the information is incorrect and not 100 % accurate. I wrote the U.S. Bankruptcy court in South Carolina, and I got a letter back from the clerk of court stating that no reporting agency received any information that was requested, which means the item was not verified. I have documentation, certified from every encounter with the credit agency, I will gladly mail them to you upon request because they are to numberous to e-mail, however, I will include a copy of the letter I received from the clerk of the bankruptcy court in South Carolina.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Until XXXX of this year I had a XXXX branded XXXX XXXX card. In XXXX XXXX dropped XXXX XXXX as their card of choice and switched to XXXX XXXX. The change was purported to be transparent to card holders. When I checked my credit score and found that ( unfortunately ) the switch to the XXXX XXXX card resulted in a drop in my credit reporting from XXXX the prior month to XXXX. The reason shown for the drop was the number of open accounts shown by Experion dropped by XXXX, the XXXX card was shown as closed by Experion, and the XXXX card was not shown as an active account. There is absolutely no reason why my credit should be damaged by a business agreement between XXXX and XXXX. I contacted XXXX and was especially dissatisfied and concerned by the XXXX and indifferent attitude shown by the XXXX representative who answered my email query stating I would have to wait 2 months until XXXX started reporting my account. Please note I jealously value my credit and demand XXXX and XXXX immediately correct this error and my credit score.

Complaint narrative:
After 2.5 months of complaints, Experian finally sent me my report today, XXXX. 
The report contains wrong information, which caused my credit applications to be denied. 
More specifically, Experian lists a credit inquiry, under results of action I took, shared with others, which doesnt belong to me : XXXX Id # : XXXX Date : XXXX XXXX, 2015 I never applied for any credit with this party, never heard of them before, do n't have any collections on my name, past or present, and I was actually living XXXX in 2015, and for 10 years before that. 
Due to Experian 's incompetence, I was denied credit as documented in my first complaint, and was unable to obtain auto insurance to get to work for 3 months.

Please help with this as they have cost us enough. They want us to settle with making payments for something that is not right as you can see from the attached credit reports they are all over the board and not lining up with correct information. We ask that you make them remove the errors and show account closed as many of these reports show errors and have account closed they can not nor should they report errors like this and get away with it. They were fully communicated with and did whatever they wanted. They should have to remove all the errors and leave the account closed and in good standing for there mistake to us. Please help we are not in agreement with what they have done to us. The attachments are of my husbands but it is a joint account so it affects us both.

Complaint narrative:
Experien failed to investigate. Had they did a proper investigation they would have realized XXXX XXXX XXXX had broken multiple laws. Instead they chose a short cut three times and updated what public records has stated. This is not a joke, it 's my life, my way of living, providing for my daughter 's and I expect to be treated fairly. Third dispute and they update a foreclosure. These workers are not doing full investigations, they need to understand steps and procedures to follow when a creditor, lender breaks the law. I like to know I would be protected, instead i feel im being treated unfair and onesided.

Complaint narrative:
I receive credit monitoring free of charge from my bank. In reviewing my credit score, Experian lists reasons that help and hurt your credit score. While reviewing the reasons, I noticed that two of the reasons that help my score are also factors that hurt my score ( please see enclosed document. ) Given there is conflicting information, how is one to improve their score? This is confusing and can lead the consumer to make decisions that can negatively affect their score, while intending to improve their score. 
This seems very deceptive and unethical. 
Please help.
