I was checking my credit report and found that there was a civil claim that does not belong to me. When I contacted Experian they said that I had to file a dispute which would take up to 30 days. I decided to back track and found that the debt belong to my dad ( we have the same name, he 's XXXX And I 'm XXXX XXXX. I called Experian and told them that I contacted the original company which is XXXX and when I gave XXXX my ssn # they was no account linked to me when I gave my fathers ssn # the debt was linked to him. Then I contacted the debt collector XXXX XXXX XXXX and gave them the same info my ssn # was not linked but my fathers was. When I contacted Experian they said I need to send them proof I told them that neither company would send me a letter stating this was not my account. I went to XXXX XXXX they said they could n't either as they have nothing to do with the credit. I contacted XXXX and XXXX and they also said there was no public record on their report. I have spoken with different people from Experian and I keep getting mis lead information. The first one said to dispute. Then another said the computer was down but if I had the ssn # to call back and they would be able to run it and if nothing shows up they could clear it, when I called back the other person said he did n't know why they said that cause they ca n't do that it has to be disputed. I do n't understand why Experian can not run my ssn # when I was able to trace it back to my father with my ssn # and have those companies tell me that they have no account with me. I do n't know why it 's difficult. Why ca n't Experian call the debt collector to get the right ssn # that it 's associated with as like I did. By having this on my report it 's messing everything up I have talked to the companies and I do n't know why Experian can not call them to see if the ssn # linked to this debt is not me. I do n't know how they can just go based off the name as I 'm sure there 's other people out there that have the same name like me and my father. It 's very frustrating just knowing it 's not me and they want proof and all I can provide them with is that I contacted the companies and they say it 's not me yet they can not do that.
