Terrible company! Terrible Service
I removed my earlier really long rant. I'll summarize:
after 187 days from when I started trying to work with Lexis Nexis, I have received another form letter (Email, this time) saying they cannot authenticate me. They need documents.
All in all I have talked to them 5 or 6 times on the phone, and uploaded several "document dumps" ( 8 uploads always the same documents, but updated each time for my utility bills) of everything they asked: Drivers license, Passport, utility bills (the latest I uploaded 3 utility bills, 3 months each, a total of 12 pages of documents) and I get rejected each time, except when I don't
It is really as confusing as it sounds. My last telephone call with them was late March, I was addressing the lates "failure to autheniticate" letter I got in the mail (Postal mail). After about 5 minutes of answering 15 different questions, the agent could not authenticate me over the phone because I gave him the incorrect mailing address.
I asked "this is my address, I'm here. I have your letter sent to me. Here" and he then attempted to explain that even though I get mail here, that is not my mailing address, and that they have a different mailing address in their file and my answer did not match theirs. "Just because you receive mail there does not necessarily mean that is your mailing address". Figure that one out!!
The reason for my call is that my report? My file? was all messed up, I was trying to clean it up, and correct it. This was me trying to correct it.
This is a truly half-assed operation. They are a data broker that will sell your information to paying clients. There is no verification, there is no records checked. This is all done without the consumers knowledge. Before October 2025, I thought Lexis Nexis was a database for Journalists, I never knew it was a financial reporting broker.
My better business complaint went on for 3 months. Their response was to send me more form letters. I have a stack of form letters in my file now. and a bunch in my email. Form letters saying to upload documents to authenticate me.
Trying to deal with these guys is a nightmare.
