Experian Credit Reporting Complaint

Experian Credit reporting department,

Incorrect information on credit report Personal information Louisiana

On -/-/2017, I received an email from a potential employer stating that they could n't run a background check on me as their background check vendor received the following when using my SSN : " Information provided is registered to -, order can not be completed. No record found at the credit bureau. '' I spent the next 4 hours on the phone with the FCRA Consumer Disclosure Center, the Social Security Administration, -, and, finally, Experian. The SSA and - could find no issues with my SSN and confirmed my birthdate. Experian, however, told me that a creditor had submitted a birthdate change to my record which Experian changed without consulting me. I was told by Experian that I would have to provide proof of my birthdate and SSN and they will rectify the issue in 3 to 5 days. This could potentially impact my getting a job with this employer. I suspect that the creditor that submitted this information had erroneously typed my birthdate. However, it is beyond my understanding that a birthdate change could be submitted to a credit reporting agency and that reporting agency accepted this as fact when, in turn, they require me to prove via documentation that my birthdate was, indeed, the date they originally had on file. Again, this change has impacted my ability to get a job.
