Consumer complaint received 2025-08-08 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill it's legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally report that my identity has been stolen and that fraudulent actions have been taken in my name without my knowledge or consent. 

Recently, I discovered that a fraudulent personal statement was added to my credit reports with all three major credit reporting agencies. The statement reads as follows : PERSONAL STATEMENTS XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ID SECURITY ALERT : FRAUDULENT APPLICATIONS MAY BE SUBMITTED IN MY NAME OR MY IDENTITY MAY HAVE BEEN USED WITHOUT MY CONSENT TO FRAUDULENTLY OBTAIN GOODS OR SERVICES. DO NOT EXTEND CREDIT WITHOUT FIRST VERIFYING THE IDENTITY OF THE APPLICANT. I CAN BE REACHED AT XXXX. THIS SECURITY ALERT WILL BE MAINTAINED FOR 1 YEAR BEGINNING XXXX. 

I did not create, authorize, or request the placement of this statement. The individual who stole my identity appears to have created accounts with the credit reporting agencies and submitted this false statement without my knowledge. 

This fraudulent statement is damaging to my credit profile and does not reflect my own request or consent. I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take immediate action to have this personal statement completely removed from my credit reports with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. 

Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide me with written confirmation once the fraudulent statement has been deleted from all credit reports.

Company: Hillcrest Davidson & Associates
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX  between XXXX and XXXX I called both XXXX as well as the current holder of my debt, Hillcrest Davidson & Associates , LLC. My attempt was to gain information on a settlement offer sent to my home, settle our debt, reinstate our security equipment to secure our family home. After speaking to XXXX and getting a better understanding of the next steps, I called Hillcrest. Twice I spoke to XXXX. His tone was nonprofessional throughout the conversation. He seemed like everything I was speaking didn't make sense to him and repeated things I had said in a condescending tone. He only referred to me as " miss '' which is extremely misogynistic. When he and I came to a disagreement in the amount of settlement offered from the original company, he said he could not do that. I said okay and thanked him for his time just before he threatened that he will report me to the credit bureaus and then he hung up on me! 
I called back to file a former complaint with the company and again was met with extreme unprofessional mannerisms and a general neglect for compassionate customer services. Supposed manager XXXX XXXX refused to take my complaint. He audibly laughed at me when I asked him about their employee training regime and complained about the lack of customer service skills. While laughing, he refused to hear my complaint or even anything I had to say. He also hung up the phone on me. Shame on this company for their lack of care in a hard-times industry of debt collection. I literally called them to give them money and they treated me poorly. The care I received was truly shocking, outdated, and inexcusable.

On XX/XX/year>XXXX   I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report to this day over 60 days later, I have not received a response yet. 
I feel like Im being taken advantage of and being ignored for my disputes. 
Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and they have got into the hands of the wrong person.
