Experian has incorrect name and DOB

When I view the Personal Info part of my credit report with MyFico I noticed something strange.   Experian shows me having a previous name (Same first name, similar sounding last name) and my DOB for Experian also shows the incorrect date.

 

Any action I should take?  I checked the identity analysis report and the flase name just says "credit header".   I have the same things for the legit spelling also.

Re: Experian has incorrect name and DOB

I would access Experian's website directly to confirm the information and how the information is listed . . . If there are any errors, correct it with the source. Perhaps it could be a computer conversion issue between the transmitting computer database (Experian) and the receiving computer database (myFICO). If the information is reflected correctly with Experian, then you could try contacting myFICO's Customer Service for assistance.

Re: Experian has incorrect name and DOB

Have you pulled a free copy of your credit report from Experian either directly or from annualcreditreport.com and confirmed that your Experian credit report has your correct birthdate and does not have this different name listed as an alias?

I sent them a copy of my license; When you open a dispute in the application it gives you the option to download images and that's what I did; the problem was fixed after a few days.
