On XXXX I got my yearly free credit report from all XXXX credit reporting agencies. On XXXX, I went online to dispute some information. Experian website says that when you get your free credit report, it is available online for 30 days. I was able to log on and dispute some items I noticed. However, I noticed that there was a fraud alert placed on my account on XXXX, which I never placed on that date, considering that 's the first time I viewed my report thoroughly. However, I did place a permanent fraud alert last year, and since then, I have had over XXXX hard inquiries on my credit report that I did not authorize, and many, many accounts opened in my name. Experian wo n't let me dispute the inquiries, and tells me to call a number, where I get an automated response, with no option to speak to a real person. I logged off the website, because I was at work when I did this, and tried to log back in about 2 hours later. Lo and behold, they could not find me in their system, and it stated that I had to " Send the letter provided below so that we can accurately identify you are really who you say you are ''. This is absolutely ridiculous. Also, I have over XXXX hard inquiries on my report from Experian themselves. Since when does a credit reporting agency pull a hard inquiry, when they have access to everything anyway? No wonder my credit score from this company is so low. They 're lowering my credit score by pulling hard inquiries that I did n't authorize, over and over and over again. I 'm also extremely upset that they have allowed so many inquiries to go on my report when I placed a permanent fraud alert a year ago. Of course, I do n't have any documents to upload, because they wo n't let me into my account.
