For the past eight years I have been incarcerated. Just prior to my release the institution had us to check our credit reports. Upon doing so I discovered that there many accounts I could not have opened because I was incarcerated at the time. I sent off letters to the XXXX agencies and I have had a very hard time getting my reports. Experian refuses to give me a a report because they say they cant confirm my address. On XXXX occasions I have faxed them my bank statements both of which have my address. I also sent them a notarized affidavit signed by a prison official attesting to the fact that the address I gave them would be my release address and that there was no way I could have procured the credit because I was incarcerated. Experian and XXXX give me test questions to verify my identity however the questions they ask are based on the fraud items which are on my account hence I do n't know the answers. Furthermore it is my understanding that if XXXX credit bureau deletes an item they are supposed to notify the other XXXX bureaus so they too can remove the item this has not happened. On XXXX XXXX I spent the ENTIRE day on the phone with Experian and XXXX trying to get them to release a block that I asked them to put on. In the case of Experian once again they asked for documents to be faxed and once again I sent the bank statements, affidavits, birth certificate and social security card. On the XXXX I was trying to get them to lift the freeze so an employer could check my file and so that my family could assist me in getting a car. The Experian rep thought it was amusing and I assure you there is nothing funny about my plight.
