Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Complaint:
I have notified your company several times about the fraudulent accounts that are on my credit report. Yet, your company refuses to block this information and said in accordance to Section 605B of the FCRA you have determined that my request was either made in error, a misrepresentation of material fact relevant to the request to block, or I have obtained possession of goods, services, or money as a result of the transaction issue. This request was not made in error I, XXXX XXXX, did not make this request in error. These fraudulent accounts also do not relate to any transactions that I have more or authorized. I also sent the report which I have made with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have attached to this complaint, with my original letter sent to your company, and that is certainly not a misrepresentation of material fact being that these accounts are in fact fraudulent. So, please explain exactly why this fraudulent information has not been blocked from my credit report? All of the reasons that you have listed do not apply so I can only believe that your company is purposely allowing this fraudulent information to continue reporting to my credit report for your own personal gain, which is an act of fraud. So pursuant to 15 USC 1681c-2 and the fact that your company has clearly lied, your company, now has 4 business days after receiving this complaint to block and remove these fraudulent accounts. Please review the attached copy of 15 USC 1681c-2 of the FCRA for your recollection. Thank you I have notified your company several times about the fraudulent accounts that are on my credit report.
