Complaint:
I have been reaching out to XXXX  and transunion about inaccurate and incorrect information reporting on my credit report. I have sent them numerous letters and they still fail to comply with the fcra laws! They are sending me responses about verified but have not sent me my wet ink signature contact or whom they spoke to, to verify these accounts. 

This is what was sent to the credit reporting agencies ( XXXX AND TRANSUNION ) : To whom it may concern, Ive recently received my credit report and noticed violations under the 15 us code 1681 and 15 us code 1681b ( FCRA ). The law clearly states the following15 us code 1681b ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

Meaning that if you do not have or havent gotten any written instructions from me ( the consumer ) to furnish an account on my report. It should not be there. That is a violation. I never gave written instruction to furnish any of the following accounts.

Secondly according to the 15 us code 1681.The law clearly states : 1. Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. The Congress makes the following findings : 2. The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system ( 4 ) There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy.

( b ) Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter.

The following accounts are inaccurate and are in clear violation of my privacy. Which is a violation of the law. This is too embarrassing and damaging to my reputation as a consumer. This has been very stressful on me mentally and physically. I need financing for a car and this inaccurate report is hindering me. As the consumer I demand the following accounts be removed from my credit report immediately. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXXREMOVE FROM CREDIT REPORTS In addition I demand to have a copy of my updated consumer report once the following changes have been made. 
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - I also have a account that I have no knowledge of on my XXXX report but yet they are still reporting this false information on my credit report after I asked them to send me proof of debt, they have only sent me a response as verified but with no proof!! This is what I sent to XXXX and they still failed to comply!! 

To Whom It May Concern : This notice is to inform you that you are unlawfully reported an unauthorized account on my consumer report. I have not given you written permission to put anything on my credit profile. You have no permissible purpose by law to contact third parties with my private or personal information. Your offenses amount to Aggravated Identity Theft pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1028A. You have knowingly transferred, possessed, or used, without lawful authority, a means of identification of me, which is a felony punishable with up to 2 years of imprisonment, in addition to civil liability. 

I am writing this letter to dispute the following accounts : Account Number : XXXX Please remove it from my credit report. 

This agency is in violation of 15 USC 1692g. They were to notify me of this in writing 5 days prior, I was not. As the original creditor only, I can validate this debt. I do not validate this debt. Therefore, the following accounts must be deleted from my report.

Failure to respond satisfactorily with deletion of the above referenced account, and send out a free copy of my report after the changes have been made will result in legal actions being taken against your company, for which I will also be seeking {$1000.00} per violation for : Defamation of Character ( per se ) Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud Fair Debt Collections Practices Act 15 USC 1692g violations Fair Credit Reporting Act 15USC 1681 violations for willful noncompliance - 616.
