Please find the ATTACHED documents to assist in the blocking of the erroneous information which is being posted to my report.. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) That alleges an identity theft ; ) ( B ) that is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States Postal Inspection Service, or such other government agency deemed appropriate By the Bureau ; and ( C ) The filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) Here is the list of accounts/items which do not belong to me or were opened without my permission.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. 
Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to XXXX, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards. 

Also as stated in the XXXX Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. 

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Sub-issue: Denied request to lower payments

Complaint:
I have been talking to this company on the phone regarding late payments, I have been corresponding with them every 2 weeks. I have even asked them if it was possible to lower my monthly payments which was promised to me from the actual dealership that i could get cheaper monthly payments after paying the car for 6 months ( which was supposed be a lease ), when we returned to the dealer to refinance they checked my credit 5 times and denied the option. They have threatened to repossess my car two times, and asked for a repo fee both times in order not to repossess my car, which amounted to about {$400.00}. I called the finance company trying to work with them and even spoke to a women ( who wouldn't give me her name ) who made a payment plan with me, she told me to make a payment of {$200.00} on XX/XX/2019, then after that we agreed I would make another payment of {$180.00} on XX/XX/2019, that was to be an automatic payment but i woke up to check my email and turns out they ended up taking out {$400.00}. When i called this morning XX/XX/2019 to ask why this was done the woman that i spoke to said that there was never a payment plan in place and that the agreement we made on XX/XX/2019, was never true. We try our best to make the payments we agreed to and after we make a payment they harass us by calling and demanding more money, They promise to help if we make the next payment and when we do they said they can't help. Also, my credit is being check frequently, without my knowledge, further lowering my score. My car cost XXXX, the interest is 23 %, after 2 years of payments ( over {$9000.00} ) we still owe {$13000.00}.

Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
Hello, I have multiple student loans, all private and I would like to address the issues one at a time. Two of my loans are through CITIBANK, now sold to XXXX. They total XXXX but I owe more than I started with. I have made all the monthly payments, as suggested by them, yet my principal is more than I have started. I have zero late fees. In fact, my total payments so far exceed the original principal amount. 

With total private loan amounts exceeding XXXX, I need all the help I can get. I researched CITIBANK and noticed there has been a lot of litigation about misleading information and essentially mistreating the borrower. In addition, I have not been able to report any of my loan information when filing for my taxes since it was not available. This was also mentioned in the law suits. 

Can you please help?

Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
I'm a XXXX year old female who has had credit since I was XXXX years old. I can't say that I haven't had any issues with credit, but overall, I'm not bad with credit. I pay my bills on time and if I've run into financial issues, I will work out something with my creditor. My problem is with the credit reporting agencies. I've experienced all negative reporting from them all the time. If I'm paying everything on time, my credit file will reflect old items from previous years. For example, I had 1 late payment on a vehicle, 4 years ago, with everything else on time, and my credit score, because of this 1 30 day late payment was in the XXXX. To date, I've paid off 3 vehicles, 1 mortgage, have never had any issues with my student loans that I've been carry for 25 years, however, my score doesn't reflect any of this. I've experienced XXXX from these agencies when my husband and I were trying to get approved for a mortgage. He had bankruptcies and repos, all kinds of bad debt ; however his score went up to over XXXX, mine never made it past low XXXX. I know the industry is XXXX because I've seen other races with horrible credit history and scores that were very high. I guess my question is who's monitoring these agencies and their XXXX and XXXX practices?

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint:
I am requesting with this notice that the following account be DELETED from my credit report. XXXX ( NOT MINE ) this is a result of ID THEFT and is causing me financial distress because of their derogatory information. Appropriately, I can show a judge at XXXX XXXX OHIO that these accounts are inaccurate and that you violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by ignoring my requests to investigate the items correctly. My previous letters stated my reasons for an investigation and these reasons were not frivolous in any way. If this final request does not prompt you to conduct a proper investigation of the accounts in question, and send proof to me of said investigation, how it was done with who with contacts actions I will file a civil suit in XXXX XXXX Against XXXX if no results for damages. I take my credit very seriously and your lack of proficiency and assistance is unacceptable. I am well aware of my rights under the FCRA and intend to pursue them to the maximum. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. I stand by the right to sue your credit bureau for violations of the FCRA and I believe I can prove to full extent, that you did not use reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process further. I am irritated at your indictment and I have consulted with the court my rights in regards to my credit file. I look forward to your expediting my original request immediately. When someone is the victim of identity theft, it is simply a nightmare trying to get false information removed from a credit file. This is NOT a request for " legalization '' via E or evidence of my mailing address ect, but a demand for AUTHENTICATION made pursuant to my Precise name Date of Birth Social Security Number and correct XXXX accordance with section, of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Or I request this be Deleted with immediate effect. I am also requesting the names, addresses and telephone numbers of individuals contacted or going to be contacted during this time with my signature. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of these as mine. Please evidence your endorsement under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. What is your authorization of law for your gathering of information? What is your authorization of law for your collection of this supposed debt? Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including specifically the alleged agreement or other instrument bearing my signature or authorization.
