I do not accept this response. Experian is impacting my life in a negative way because of improper use of my credit report. Because of the mistakes on my credit report, I have been wrongfully denied credit recently for a Home loan to refinance, which was highly embarrassing, has negatively impacted my lifestyle, as well as is now depleting my personal finances. Time is running out.Business Response

I'm bothered that you have incorporated the data beneath in my credit profile and that you have neglected to keep up sensible methods in your activities to guarantee most extreme conceivable exactness in the credit reports you distribute. Credit announcing laws guarantee that agencies report just 100% exact credit data. Each progression should be taken to guarantee the data detailed is totally precise and right. The accompanying data in this way should be re-researched. I am having major issues with finding inaccurate/ invalidated accounts after carefully pulling my credit report from your agency. I have no knowledge of these items or inaccurate information as My information was impacted by the ************ breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person. You are reporting negligently and inaccurately and failing to comply to the FCRA.I realise you have no legal standing as a federally protected consumer, and you can't employ an attorney against me.I'll file for a default judgement, and ill file a class action lawsuit for violations, stress, and mental anguish, as well as at least 1% of the corporation, under TILA ****, OR ANY OTHER AMOUNT OF DAMAGES UNDER 1692K.Business Response

Upon checking my credit report I found that there was an increase on my account in the amount of ****** dollars. After contacting experian NO ONE was able to tell me where the increase came from. Let me remind you that I also pay ***** per month for identity theft protection and these people do not speak proper english nor are they able to tell me where this charge has come from. I have spoken to my loan servicer and the college that I attended and they reported that this charge was not supposed to be on my account. I will be ending my membership with experian immediately to possibly pursue a lawsuit against the company. This is ridiculous.Business Response

Our office recently received your correspondence regarding the above mentioned consumers personal credit profile.
We are currently reinvestigating the disputed Midland Funding with which the consumer disagrees. Upon completion of this process, we will provide the results of our reinvestigation directly to the consumer.
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), a national consumer credit reporting agencys role in the dispute process is to review the accuracy and completeness of any disputed item which may include contacting the furnisher of the information or the vendor that collected the information from a public record source, such as a court or other government office, notifying them of the disputed information and disclosing all relevant information regarding the consumers dispute. In order to help resolve the consumers dispute, Experian will review all relevant documents submitted by the consumer with the dispute and will forward such documents to the furnisher if Experian is unable to resolve the issue based on those documents. Consumers may also contact creditors directly to dispute items reported by the creditor. If the issue is not resolved, then the consumer credit reporting agency must offer to include a consumer statement on the personal credit report.
