I am writing to report a concerning issue related to fraudulent inquiries on my credit report. I recently discovered unauthorized credit inquiries that have been made in my name without my consent or knowledge. 

These fraudulent inquiries have the potential to adversely affect my credit standing and overall financial well-being.

Accounts on my credit report have been linked to identity theft without my proper authorization, including a signature. I've already discussed this matter with your organization, and I'm formally requesting the swift removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue isn't resolved appropriately, I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as buying a home and providing for my family.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I've mailed a dispute letter to Experian after I've noticed several accounts and information that's reporting to my consumer report without my consent and which is also inaccurate or invalid. Experian is reporting an account that doesn't belong to me and reporting under multiple violations. How are they reporting a debt if there aren't any agreements by me to report it? How can I owe a debt if me and the creditor never had any existing agreements on a balance in order for this debt to occur? I have no knowledge of this company reporting this account in which Experian should be able to see that we haven't agreed on anything. Pursuant 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy, this account shouldn't be reporting.
