Complaint:
I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of utmost gravity pertaining to the unauthorized sale and acquisition of my personal information, which transpired as a consequence of my unfortunate status as a victim of the Equifax data breach. It has come to my attention that certain items, resulting from this breach, persist on my credit reports. In light of this, I am hereby formally demanding the immediate removal of these deleterious entries. 

I have taken the liberty of appending incontrovertible evidence that substantiates Equifax 's acknowledgment of my victimhood in the aforementioned data breach. Despite this acknowledgment, regrettably, no corrective action has been taken on the part of Equifax to rectify the impact on my credit history. 

It is imperative that you extend your expertise to rectify this matter with utmost urgency. I seek your professional assistance in expediting the expungement of these illicit accounts from my credit report, in alignment with my rights and the laws governing consumer data protection. 

Your prompt attention to this matter is not only imperative but also anticipated, and I trust that your legal acumen will serve to address this situation with the gravity it demands.

Complaint:
Re : Second Complaint Regarding Unverified and Inaccurate Collection Accounts on Credit Reports I am writing to file a follow-up complaint concerning multiple collection accounts that have been inaccurately and inconsistently reported on my credit reports by Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. This letter serves as a continuation of my efforts to resolve these discrepancies, as per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. 
The accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX/DEPT OF ED XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXDEPT OF EDXXXX XXXX/DEPT OF XXXX XXXX XXXX EDXXXX XXXX/DEPT OF XXXX XXXX/DEPT OF EDXXXX XXXX/DEPT OF XXXX XXXX/DEPT OF ED29959611XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Despite my previous attempts to rectify these inaccuracies, including direct disputes with the aforementioned credit bureaus and the collection agencies, the errors persist. Each credit bureau reports different information about these same accounts, which is a clear indication of inaccurate reporting and a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, I have the right to challenge inaccurate information in my credit report, and the credit reporting agencies are legally obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation into these disputes. However, the responses to my previous disputes have been unsatisfactory, and the inaccuracies remain unaddressed. 

According to 15 USC 1681 : I HAVE THE RIGHT TO PRVACY AND I DID NOT GIVE EQUIFAX, XXXX OR XXXX WRITTEN PERMISSION TO FURNISH THESE ACCOUNTS Furthermore, In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D, I demand that you provide actual proof the information was verified, not a computer generated confirmation.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account with the account number XXXX was removed from my consumer report. However, I noticed that on XX/XX/2023, this account was reinserted, resulting in a significant decrease of XXXX points in my credit score. This adverse impact on my credit score is now hindering my ability to apply for a credit card. 

I am formally requesting the removal of the aforementioned account from my consumer report. Moreover, I request assurance that this account will not be reinserted in the future. The abrupt change in my credit score has had tangible consequences on my financial options, and I believe rectifying this situation is imperative for my financial well-being. 




Under the requirements of the FCRA, as provided below, I am hereby requesting your complete compliance with all of the provisions : FCRA 611, Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material.

Certification of accuracy of information. If any information is deleted from a consumers file pursuant to subparagraph ( A ), the information may not reinserted in the file by the consumer reporting agency unless the person who furnishes the information certifies the information is complete and accurate.

If any information that has been deleted from a consumers file pursuant to subparagraph ( A ) is reinserted in the file, the consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of the reinsertion in writing not later than 5 business days after the reinsertion or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Additional information. As part of, or in addition to, the notice under clause ( ii ), a consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer in writing no later than 5 business days after the reinsertion date.

o ( I ) a statement that the disputed information has been reinserted ; o ( II ) the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available, or of any furnisher of information that contacted the consumer reporting agency, in connection with the reinsertion of such information ; and o ( III ) a notice that the consumer has the right to add a statement to the consumers file disputing the accuracy or completeness of the disputed information.

I have received no such notification. This is a serious violation of the FCRA, and I reserve the right to pursue further action. Your company may avoid such action by immediately deleting this listing from my credit report.
