Complaint:
I am writing to you regarding a matter of utmost importance regarding my credit report. I have diligently followed the dispute process for several fraudulent accounts that have been erroneously reported on my credit report, and despite multiple escalations, I have yet to see any satisfactory resolution. 
Below are the details of the discrepancies I have identified : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have contacted your bureau multiple times regarding their removal. Despite my efforts and your assurance of investigation and resolution, these accounts remain on my credit report, severely impacting my creditworthiness. I understand that the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires credit bureaus to investigate and correct inaccurate or fraudulent information within 30 days of receiving a dispute. It has been well beyond this timeframe, and the continued presence of these fraudulent accounts on my credit report is causing me significant financial distress. I kindly request an immediate and thorough investigation into these matters, followed by the removal of the fraudulent accounts from my credit report. Additionally, I request that you provide me with a written explanation of the actions taken to resolve this dispute within the legally required timeframe. Failure to comply with the FCRA 's requirements may result in legal action to protect my rights as a consumer. I trust that it won't come to that, and that you will promptly address this issue. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I purchased a XXXX XXXX in XXXX and was persuaded by the dealership to purchase GAP insurance at the time of the purchase because if something were to happen to the vehicle the insurance would cover the difference between my insurance and the cost of the car. 

I did not expect to utilize it however I was in a car accident about a year later and the car was deemed a TOTAL LOSS. My insurance company paid for the vehicle, however, their was a remaining balance left on the finance for the GAP Insurance that I financed in the loan. 

There was no reason GAP should not have covered the difference and I feel I was scammed and cheated for even financing gap with the car, as my insurance covered the full amount minus the gap coverage. If you look into the paper work you will see the remaining balance on the loan was for GAP! 

That being said, XXXX XXXX reported negative on my credit report, so I reached out to resolve the issue. I reached out to them and was told if I made a payment the negative information would be removed from my report. I settled for slightly less then the amount, and they marked it as PAID with Experian, but Derogatory with XXXX and XXXX. Adding insult to injury I reached out to them with no resolution.. 

I have reached out to them several times and have also reached out to XXXX, Experian, and XXXX with no resolution. 

At this point I am becoming disheartened because I feel I was scammed into purchasing GAP insurance, and financing it with the car. Only to be cheated. They financed the gap, it did not cover my loss, left the gap insurance on the cost after the car was totaled and now are reporting negatively on my credit for the amount of the gap insurance. 

They are also not reporting the information incorrectly. XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a last payment date of XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX and Experian, but XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX.

Complaint:
I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ). I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim. The records I'm disputing, which stem from this identity theft nightmare, have no basis in reality. They don't correspond to any transactions I've authorized or any legitimate financial activities. It is beyond frustrating that my previous attempts to resolve this matter have fallen on deaf ears. Enough is enough. This is not a mere inconvenience ; it's a blatant violation of my rights and a severe detriment to my financial standing. I demand, in no uncertain terms, that you promptly take action to obliterate any information in my credit report that originated from this heinous act of fraud. The urgency of this situation can not be overstated. Accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX.
