Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter via certified mail and requested that Clarity Services as a part of Experian place a security freeze and opt-out of prescreening offers. They sent me a generated email advising that I need to verify the information I sent them. I sent them the demand along with the notarized letter, a picture of my passport, and an image of my bank statement reflecting the accurate information. They failed to update my information and are fighting me about verifying my identity when I already sent them documents. What else do you need from me? My blood type? My XXXX? What else? Stop making this mess so XXXX difficult. I can not get a notarized letter without being at the notary. I sent you a document reflecting my address. The next step is a lawsuit.

Complaint narrative:
I have been having issues for over 2 years since my next door neighbor moved in with the same last name & our mailbox is right next to each other. Our mail constantly get mixed up & As I am nice enough to return there mail unopened they do not return the favor. Last two years has been the most stressful time of my life because when they get a hold of my personal information I started getting alerts of people applying for things in my name. I was getting inquiries for credit cards, mortgages & everything under the sun that I never applied for. XXXX XXXX XXXX has been great with helping me to resolve my issues. Equifax on the other hand after numerous certified letters they refuse to acknowledge that I been having fraud committed against me. They refuse to remove all the inquiries on my credit report no matter what proof or letter you send in. Equifax is the only credit company that do not verify accuracies of debt & refuse to remove them. They break every law & act as if we the people do not have any rights. They requested a police report & because its a federal case the police can not give a report. I have explain this to XXXX different representative on phone & in writing & yet here we are. This is a case I can easily win in court & if Equifax do not remove all five inquiries off my credit report than was fraudulently done I will sue them for violating my rights.
