1. ) Violations : Identified Inaccurate Information Resulting From Identity Theft : Account Name : XXXX ; Account number : XXXX ; Status : Charged Off ; Balance : {$1800.00} ; Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX ; I am a victim of identity theft. Experian has made four major violations of FCRA regarding the above identified inaccurate information resulting from identity theft : 1 ) Experian failed to block the identified information resulting from identity theft within 4 business days pursuant to 15 USC 1681c-2. Experian received the notice to block the in formation on XXXX XXXX XXXX, but the item was not blocked untill 27 days later on XXXX XXXX, XXXX as shown in the attachments. 

2 ) Once Experian blocked the information and reinserted it, Experian failed to provide me a notice pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii )- ( iii ) that the previously deleted information has been reinserted in my credit file.

3 ) Experian accepted an unverified statement from the furnisher used to reinsert the inaccurate information after determining the unverified statement from the furnisher was also a certified statement. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1601.3 and 28 USC 1746, a certified statement is the same as a verified statement and therefore must be made under penalty of perjury which the furnisher has failed to do. A certified statement can not at the same time be an unverified statement because the terms are both interchangeably used for the signor to attest to what they believe is true under penalty of perjury, opposed to just making statements which have no criminal liability for being false. A statement with no liability for being false can not be deemed as certified. So, since a certification from the furnisher must be made under penalty of perjury pursuant to 29 CFR 1601.3 and 28 USC 1746, there was no true certification provided to Experian to allow them to reinsert the information. A true certification can only be a verified certification pursuant to 29 CFR 1601.3 and 28 USC 1746. In addition, they did not have a certification because pursuant to 28 U.S. Code 1746, a certification if executed without a notary, must contain the following phrase I declare ( or certify, verify, or state ) under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on ( date ). ( Signature ). Since the certificate was not executed under penalty of perjury with this exact phrasing. There is no proper certification that exist.

4 ) In violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 15 USC 1681 ( b ), and 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), Experian failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. There was no reasonable reinvestigation because when determining weather they would reinsert the inaccurate information, Experian did not take into consideration that I had already sent certified documents under penalty of perjury, [ including signed by police officers and myself, the police report, the FTC identity theft report, and proof of address different than what was on the account at the time of account opening ], which certify that I am a victim of identity theft regarding the inaccurate information reporting on my Experian credit report ; that the information reporting to my credit report is inaccurate because it belongs to an unknown perpetrator of identity theft who opened the account and made transactions on the basis of my personal information. [ such as name, date of birth, social securirty number, drivers license, and forged signature ] without my knowledge or consent, and that the inaccurate information identified is not related to any transaction made by the consumer. It is unreasonable, to completely ignore the evidence that I submitted under penalty of perjury that proves that I am a victim of identity theft regarding the account, pursuant to 15 USC 1681g ( e ) ( 2 ) ( B ) and 15 USC 1681c-2 but rather to accept the unverified false certification provided by the furnisher as evidence that I am not a victim of identity theft. It is a well established fact that consumers have only a limited proof of claim for identity theft, and therefore a consumers certification that they are a victim of identity theft should be prioritized over a furnishers certification that a consumer is not a victim of identity theft, when the furnisher has no firsthand knowledge of the fact and are not willing to submit a statement under penalty of perjury. When in opposition, the consumer has been identified as a victim of identity theft by the police officer by a signed statement under penalty of perjury, the consumer signs an identity theft affidavit under penalty of perjury, the consumer signs an FTC affidavit under penalty of perjury, and provides proof of address different than what was on the account under penalty of perjury which opens the consumer up to the full liability of perjury. When the furnisher has no liability whatsoever for making false statements about weather the consumer is a victim of identity theft regarding the account which the person signing for the furnisher has no firsthand knowledge.

( But this is incorrect because the criminal made the communications with them between XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX on the basis of my information by identity theft ). 

XX/XX/XXXX : Experian Receives second dispute notice from me responding to their reinsertion, asserting the list of violations due to providing the required proof of claim of identity theft to delete the account and proof of address at the time of the fraud which does not match the address on the account.

I also sent a Request for production of certain documents as required in 15 USC 1681g ( e ) which they failed to provide any documents.

3 ). Certification of Inaccurate Information On Consumer Report : I, XXXX XXXX, the consumer, certify : That the account and subsequent information identified within this notice is not related to any transaction made by the consumer. That the account and related information was opened by an unknown perpetrator of identity theft without my knowledge or consent on the basis of my personal information such as name, date of birth, social security number, and a forged signature by a criminal pretending to be me. That I have attached additional certification from Police Officers in a Police Report, an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury, an FTC report, a notarized identity theft report, and proof of address different than what was used at the time the account was opened as further proof of claim of identity theft as required under 15 USC 1681g ( e ) ( 2 ) ( B ). That the inaccurate information reporting is the account number, the date opened, balance, account status, and credit history because the account was opened without my knowledge or consent on the basis of my personal information by an unknown perpetrator of identity theft, and any transactions on the account were made by the unknown perpetrator of identity theft without my knowledge or consent. That I did not authorize anyone to use my personal information to obtain money, credit, loans, goods, or services or for any other purpose as described in this notice and certification. That I did not receive any money, goods, services or other benefits as a result of the events described in this certification. That I believe that an unknown perpetrator of identity theft who uses forged signatures, my personal information, and identification documents to open new accounts, use my existing accounts, commit other fraud, and enter into agreements with institutions without my knowledge or consent is the person responsible for committing the identity theft and fraud described in this certification. That any signature provided to Experian by the furnisher is not actually my signature but a forgery executed by the perpetrator of identity theft using a forged signature. That any notice of dispute, request for investigation, or any other communication regarding the account made to Experian or the Furnisher between XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was not made by me, but rather an unknown perpetrator of identity theft who used my personal information without my knowledge or consent to communicate with Experian at the time committing identity theft, Experian is therefore required to only use the communications provided to Experian from XX/XX/XXXX to present day about the account and related inaccurate information. That every detail of the events written in this certification is on specific knowledge and information. That all of the events described in this certification has caused inaccurate information, information that is the result of identity theft, and information resulting from transactions of someone other than me to be reported to the credit reporting agencies and the internal database of the furnisher without my knowledge or consent.
