To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized and illegal activities reflected on my credit report. This letter serves as a formal request to remove these inaccuracies immediately, as they are a direct result of the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXXXXXX 

My personal information, including my Social Security number, date of birth, and other sensitive data, was compromised during the well-publicized XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I have reason to believe that as a consequence of this breach, my information was sold and used without my consent, leading to the creation of unauthorized accounts and entries on my credit reports. Over {$4200.00} was spent from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX in trying to remediate the effects in going making calls to XXXX, visiting USPS multiple times waiting in line and sending postage. Purchase of celluar devices, plans, making calls, and purchase of printer to print out all necessary documents to mail. 

I am hereby attaching proof that confirms my status as a victim of the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. This evidence includes official communication from XXXX acknowledging my information was compromised in the breach. Despite this acknowledgment, XXXX has failed to take appropriate action to rectify the situation. 

In light of these circumstances, I am requesting the immediate deletion of all accounts and entries on my credit reports that have resulted from this data breach. These items are fraudulent and do not represent my financial behavior or consent. 

Please note, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are obligated to correct any inaccuracies on my credit report promptly. Failure to do so may result in legal action. 

I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it requires. I expect a written confirmation of the deletion of these items from my credit report. If you require any further information or documentation from my end, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I have a mortgage with M & T bank that contains mortgage insurance ( PMI ). My LTV is at 79 % and M & T states that they wont remove PMI from my mortgage until LTV reaches 75 %. 

The 79 % LTV is confirmed by their own appraiser. Ive never missed a payment or broken any terms of the loan. 

The law from what I understand is that PMI can be removed from the mortgage at 80 % LTV and automatically falls off at 78 %.

Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I attached the PDF file below containing the list of items that have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.

Credit Bureau stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify or delete accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : 1. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate.

2. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services.

3. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and procedures outlined in the FCRA.

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : 1. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report.

2. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes.

Enclosures : Copies of my credit reports Copies of my dispute letters Copies of any supporting documentation I provided to the credit bureaus

Shortly after that I received a message from PayPal asking me the nature of my account, for a business license and why I have the account to begin with and my account funds were unable to be withdrawn. I provided all of this information and then the next day I got another message asking for a list of the same type of information and I have already provided the information to PayPal. They have since froze my account with a balance of {$180.00}. I have tried to resolve this issue with them and it seems they are just trying to make it more difficult for me to get my money. I told them I wanted a resolution and my money released immediately and have not received a reason other than demands for more of the same information ALREADY PROVIDED.
