This is my fourth attempt to inform you that I am a victim of identity theft and that I wish to query certain entries in my documents that have arisen as a result of the crime. The documents I'm questioning have nothing to do with any transactions involving goods, services, or money that I've made or approved. Assuming no one cares, remove any material in my credit report that was obtained through alleged fraud or extortion.

Company: Klarna AB
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint:
Early in 2021 I decided to use Klarna to purchase an electric skateboard. They offered financing that seemed favorable at the time. There was a dispute with the merchant which I reported to Klarna. This event triggered the auto pay that I set up to be paused. The dispute was eventually resolved and I received my skateboard. Since their system automatically disabled my auto pay it was a reasonable assumption that their system would also reactivate the arrangement. Little did I know that I was falling behind on payments. 

In the meantime, after the fairly positive experience, I made several other purchases using Klarna. Their app aggregated the monthly payments of the various transactions I made using Klarna. Over several months, I received emails stating that my payments were being deducted and I received an email every time I paid off a purchase. 

Several months after I made the skateboard purchase I received an email or call notifying me that I had been sent to collections. As far as I knew, I was making the payments for all the purchases I had made. If Klarna had sent emails regarding the skateboard purchase was falling behind they were overshadowed by the successful payment emails that implied my good account status. Klarna did not contact me before putting my account in collections. Of course I initiated a dispute but they had already referred me to a 3rd party so it isn't surprising that my dispute went nowhere. I should also point out that while I was missing payments to that single loan, Klarna continued to offer me higher and higher purchase amounts and approving transactions ; this further contributed to my perception that all was well. 

They claimed that I stopped the payment agreement to that initial loan. They however can not provide proof that I authorized any such action. On the other hand, I have an email that was sent to me when I initiated a dispute against that merchant that explicitly says that they were pausing my payment arrangement. They screwed up and then sent me to collections without notifying me. They have not taken any steps to undo their referral to collections.

Complaint:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my continued frustration and concern regarding the multiple attempts I have made to remove fraudulent items from my credit report, which persist despite my diligent efforts. I initially contacted your agency to report and dispute several fraudulent items on my credit report. These fraudulent items include specific fraudulent items, such as unauthorized accounts, late payments, or other inaccuracies. Since then, I have made multiple additional attempts to rectify this issue, providing extensive documentation to support my claims and adhering to your agency 's dispute procedures diligently. Despite my persistent efforts, these fraudulent items remain on my credit report, causing significant damage to my credit score and overall financial well-being. These inaccuracies have a direct impact on my ability to secure loans, housing, employment opportunities, and have severely eroded my trust in your agency 's ability to maintain accurate credit reports. I have attached copies of my previous correspondences with your agency, as well as the credit reports that clearly illustrate the continued presence of these fraudulent items. It is crucial to emphasize that these items are the result of unauthorized transactions and are not a reflection of my financial responsibility. I urgently request that you take immediate and definitive action to remove these fraudulent items from my credit report. I have provided substantial evidence to support my claims, and it is essential that this matter is resolved without further delay. Additionally, I request written confirmation once the corrections have been made. Furthermore, I kindly request that you provide an explanation of the steps your agency is taking to prevent the recurrence of such errors in the future. Accuracy in credit reporting is essential to maintaining trust and confidence in the financial system. If this matter is not addressed promptly and resolved to my satisfaction, I may have no choice but to escalate my complaint to the relevant regulatory authorities and seek legal remedies to protect my rights as a consumer. Kindly assist me to remove these following fraudulent items : 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

Complaint:
XXXX continued. 
WF is gaming your process. See all comments in the feedback of the complaint. The loan should have never been initiated and I was forced to close on the HELOC loan. The builder XXXX XXXX and the inhouse WF XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  forced me to close on a property that should never have been initiated I seek mediation of the issues. 
The mediation process with WF was misleading and their statements are not rue. There was no pre- mediation offer. The Mediation and all parties refused to discuss other issues beyond a diversionary CHECKING account, that in the big picture is just a small issue. The WF representative and the mediator insisted that ONLY the CHECKING account would be addressed during the mediation. WF after the meeting stated that all issues were resolved which is a falsehood. 

Please address all issues related to this loan and bring the truth forward and hold this corrupt bank accountable for their fraudulent behavior and banking practices. WF is white washing the issues and repetitively stating falsehoods. 

Thank you.

On XX/XX/2022 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like Im being taken advantage of and being ignored by my disputes. Section 611 ( a ). It is plenty stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. Also, my information was impacted by the XXXX data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

In Accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act Experian Reference # 's XXXX and XXXX has violated my rights.

15 U.SC. 1681 section 602 A, States : I have the right to privacy.

15 U.SC. 1681 section 604 A Section2 : Its also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account with out my written instructions.

I have disputed this information several times and I keep getting the same result Under the FCRA, section 609, I am requesting all information related to debts listed on my credit report. It states that I am entitled to all documents related to each item, including each original credit application and contract containing your signature. Experian refuses to provide that information.In addition to requesting information about items on my credit report, I am requesting that if they can not verify the information by locating the original contract or other documents necessary to validate the bankruptcies on my credit report, they must remove them immediately.

Section 611 of the FCRA. It requests that the credit bureau provide the method of verification they used to verify a disputed item. I asked experian how do the verify the information and they stated with the courts.I called the courts and they stated they do not provide that information to any of the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus get that information from public records like lexis nexus. 

I will not accept another reinvestigation of the information Only deletion of the information
