      This company continues to report false information and closed accounts on my credit profile my score should be at 750 and they are also reporting child support on my credit without my consent and are violating my consumer privacy rights.

      I applied for a loan with an RV dealer in Palm Beach County about two weeks ago. Ever since then I have been bombarded by phone calls from Mortgage Brokers inquiring if I need assistance finding a mortgage. When I ask them where they got my information from they all state Experian. I tried to contact Experian to discuss why they are selling or giving my personal credit information out to all of these mortgage brokers and you cannot get through on their automated phone line or speak with a person. I was under the impression that Experian was the credit bureau that was supposed to protect my personal credit information and they are selling it out and making money without my permission? I would like to get more information on filing criminal charges for them releasing my information without my permission.

    Experian is NOT a BBB Accredited Business.

    To become accredited, a business must agree to BBB Standards for Trust and pass BBB's vetting process.

    Why choose a BBB Accredited Business?

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
