Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

I am submitting this formal legal complaint to demand the immediate removal of fraudulent and inaccurate accounts currently reported on my credit file. These accounts were opened without my knowledge or consent, and their continued presence violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. Furthermore, the involved creditors and credit reporting agencies have failed to adhere to the legal obligations set forth under federal and state laws, necessitating immediate enforcement action by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ).

Violations of Federal Law Failure to Notify of Debt Validation Creditors are required to notify consumers of debt validation within five days of reporting accounts under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g. No such notice was provided, rendering these accounts illegitimate.

Failure to Ensure Maximum Accuracy Credit bureaus are legally required to ensure the accuracy of reported data per FCRA 607 ( b ), 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). Discrepancies in balances, high credit limits, open dates, and payment histories across bureaus indicate systemic noncompliance.

Failure to Investigate Disputes Under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), credit bureaus must investigate disputes within 30 days. My disputes remain unresolved despite surpassing the legally mandated period.

Failure to Conduct Proper Reinvestigation FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) requires that credit bureaus reinvestigate disputes upon consumer request. My disputes have not been adequately reviewed.

Failure to Protect Personal Information The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( 15 U.S.C. 6801-6809 ) mandates the protection of consumer data. The unauthorized appearance of fraudulent accounts on my credit file suggests a violation of these security obligations.

Identity Theft Protections Violated The Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act ( 18 U.S.C. 1028 ) criminalizes identity theft. These fraudulent accounts constitute a direct breach of identity protection statutes.

Failure to Assist Identity Theft Victims Under 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( e ), credit bureaus must provide victims of identity theft with appropriate resources, including fraud alerts. These legally mandated measures have not been provided to me.

Failure to Secure Consumer Data Following Nationwide Data Breach Following the recent major data breach affecting all American consumers, the credit bureaus have demonstrated gross negligence in safeguarding personal financial information. The failure to properly secure consumer data has resulted in widespread fraud, including the fraudulent accounts and inquiries currently affecting my credit report. This is a direct violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( 15 U.S.C. 45 ) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( 15 U.S.C. 6801-6809 ).
