Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I had my identity used to open, and attempts to open, credit card accounts fraudulently. Experian is in the process of remedying those accounts and/or inquiries on my credit report. 
However, they asked that I create a report at XXXX, and then upload it to their platform, so that an investigation could be opened into the party or parties attempting to steal my identity/commit fraud. I did create and download a report from the identitytheft.gov site, but when I attempt to upload it to Experian 's website, it doesnt " work... I enter my personal information on the first page, click the button indicating I understand the disclosures, but when I try to advance to the next page to upload the report, it wipes out all of the information in the fields and leaves me with the starting page as I landed on it. 
I have made multiple attempts to get to technical support with Experian, but can never get through... they only allow you to choose from the automated options to report new fraud, put a freeze on your credit etc., without ever getting a live person who can provide technical support. 
I have tried at least 10 times each with two different browsers to upload the report, and the same thing keeps happening.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "
