To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 
You were advised by me on XXXX XXXX by certified mail ( copy enclosed ) that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit reports. That request was written by me and mailed by me- not a third party agency. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. 
Here again is the incorrect information being reported : XXXX XXXX XXXX** {$0.00} Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. 
I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. 
I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this letter dated XXXX XXXX is formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. 
I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NC)

Noted when checking online my checking account credit rating went down 1 point and that it was showing an alert. After checking the alert I found that someone had inquired on my credit rating to Well Fargo. I have not opened any new accounts or applied for any loans. I called Wells Fargo today and found out that a credit card had been issued by Wells Fargo for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in my name on XX/XX/2022. There is already a balance of over {$2400.00}. I did not take out this credit card nor have I ever purchased any products from this company which I was informed was in Wisconsin. They also told be that this credit card was applied for on line. 
I do not want this to ruin my credit and be reported for being delinquent while this is being resolved. Also Wells Fargo said it may take up to 90 days to research this. Really! 90 days? In my opinion Wells Fargo is very sloppy in their business practices.

Since XX/XX/XXXX I have tried to get the credit bureaus Experian, XXXX, and XXXX to stop violating my rights by reporting INACCURATE information. The credit bureaus keep sending me updated credit reports that shows they didn't do any " real '' investigation nor care that they are hurting hard working consumers who pay their bills on time. 

It is UNFAIR that every 30 days since XXXX, I have to take time to send letters, ID and etc to ask for them to delete XXXX XXXX account # XXXX from my credit report. I have sent bank statements ( PROOF ) that I was never late. 

I understand that the credit bureaus want to make money $ $ $ $ off of me by reporting false credit information about me. So I will contact every agency I know and an FCRA attorney if needed because this is my 3rd attempt to have this account deleted. 

I received my investigation back and updated credit reports. You stated that you completed a fair investigation, and this account is now 100 % accurate. 

I need to know how did you investigate this account? 

I sent you my bank statements to show that I was NEVER LATE, but I didnt see any proof that I was late from XXXX XXXX. In addition, I pulled my most recent report from Experian, XXXX, and XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and still see XXXX discrepancies that proves that you didnt do a proper investigation according to the Fair Credit Act 15 U.S. Code 1681a which states how you are supposed to investigate my consumer report. 

Did you ask XXXX XXXX # XXXX to supply their accounting records or you just took their word? 

Did you interview my neighbors? 

Did you interview my friends? 

Finally, how is it possible that everything is 100 % accurate for XXXX XXXX account # XXXX when my credit reports show the following inaccuracies : 1. Date Opened 2. # Of Months ( terms ) 3. Last Reported 4. Date Last Active 5. All credit bureaus are reporting something different for months XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 

You have violated multiple laws : 15 U.S. Code 1681 15 U.S. Code 1681a 15 U.S. Code 1681i 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a ) I demand you delete this account from my credit report immediately! 

Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX This is my 3rd letter requesting this account to be deleted and will hold you responsible for {$1000.00} per violation if this account is NOT deleted immediately! 

Send me an updated credit report showing that XXXX XXXX account XXXX had been permanently deleted.
