This behavior violates my rights under 12 C.F.R. ******** (trafficking/ID theft protections) and 15 U.S. Code 1691b (against sham investigations). The continued reporting of these accounts and inquiries is creating barriers to obtaining credit, housing, and employment.Desired resolution:1.Permanently delete the *********** and ****************** accounts ******** all associated unauthorized hard inquiries 3.Provide written confirmation that the deletions were completed in compliance with federal law 4.Notify all third-party recipients of my credit file that this information was inaccurate and has been removedCustomer Answer

Dear Jasmine ****,
This email is to confirm that I, ******** *********, authorized the submission of the complaint regarding Experian Consumer Services and am formally requesting assistance from the Better Business Bureau.
Here is a detailed description of my concern and interaction with the business:
Experian Consumer Services is reporting fraudulent and inaccurate information on my credit report, including an unauthorized *********** account (with late payments and a past-due balance) and a *********************** collection account (linked to T-Mobile), neither of which I opened or authorized. I have submitted disputes and documentation, yet Experian continues to report these items along with related hard inquiries. This is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other federal protections for victims of identity theft and fraud.
I am requesting that these entries be permanently deleted and that Experian confirm compliance with applicable consumer protection laws.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
