On XXXX I sent a letter regarding inaccurate unknown things and late payments on my credit report to this day over 75 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like Im being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Being it has been so long without a response I would like for the items to be removed from my credit report. These accounts are adversely affecting my credit report and costing me thousands of dollars in interest every year and it has been over 75 days so they should be deleted promptly. The accounts, credit reporting and items in question are inaccurate and incorrect and should not be on my credit report because they are not accurate and do not reflect the correct information.

I contacted Experian XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX with regards to the account XXXX XXXX XXXX First I advised Experian that I have never opened an account with this company. I requested from Experian to send me a copy of the signed contract or signed agreement that I have with this company and or documentation they used to verify that this is my account. As of today they have not done so. I also asked Experian to explain how can they report an open date of XX/XX/XXXX and a last activity date of XX/XX/XXXX. That's telling me there was no activity since its is the same date. But they are reporting this account as derogatory. Experian continues to report inaccurate information.

Company: HCFS Healthcare Financial Services of TeamHealth (TX)

I have been disputing this account with the credit bureaus for sometime now. Each time they would say that ARS would verify the debt. So I took it upon myself to ask ARS for validation of the debt. Are they legally able to collect on the debt? How did they calculate the amount they claim I owe? How do they know I am the owner of the debt? Im curious because I have never done business with them or the original creditor. Well, it has been more than 30 days and I still have not received anything proving the debt is mine. They received my letter on XX/XX/2021. Here is the tracking XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was under the impression that if they didn't respond it would automatically deleted from my credit reports. Silence is being in agreeance. I am sure there is a law that proves it.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I have been a XXXX XXXX resident since year XXXX, and have been at my current address since XXXX. Someone who carries a fixed XXXX, TX address opened or constantly tried to open credit cards in my name since XXXX. This person repeatedly accesses and modifies personal information on my credit file from all three credit bureaus, online, by phone or by mailing fraudulent documents to the credit bureaus. 

Despite all the tremendous efforts I have made by filing police reports, filing FTC reports, calling creditors, calling and mailing to all three credit bureaus to dispute and add security measures to my account over the past years, in XX/XX/XXXX, this same person was able to have a few creditors access my credit report from TransUnion, and have one creditor leave a hard inquiry on my XXXX report. Upon being notified by credit monitoring services regarding these un-authorized activities, I called TransUnion to report and to get the issue resolved. As the result TransUnion added a new security question when someone phones in to try to unfreeze my credit report, while locking my online access. XXXX on the other hand explained to me that the recent hard inquiry was an attempt only and it can be removed when requested documents are provided to them. I hope my credit reports can stay secure however it will not surprise me if the fraud happens again.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

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 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 Account XXXX XXXX. 
Late Payment Inaccuracy Under 15 USC 1666B this is a billing error always paid as agreed on time this is an error this account in violation. 
Please remove it from my credit reporting information! 

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 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.

XXXX I previously contacted Experian, XXXX and XXXX in regards to account listed on my personal credit report that is listed as a Charge off/ Collection. The account is listed as XXXX XXXX with an account number attached as such : XXXX. This vehicle was completely paid off with no balance owed by XXXX in 2018. This company is continuously reporting false and incorrect information on my credit report which is not a reflection of my character. After contacting these credit bureaus XXXX founded that this account was placed on my report with incorrect information and no balance was owed at any time and DELETED the account. XXXX and Experian are not completing their due diligence which is greatly affecting my life. I have asked several times for documentation which legally validates the account which they continuously fail to provide to my person. These companies are including fraudulent information on my credit report from companies who pay their salaries and not acting in the best interest of the consumers. These practices are malicious and indecent. How can one company come back and state their information should have not been placed on my credit file and deleted it but these companies are sending letters to my address stated VALIDATED with no validation information or documents. I want this account reinvestigated immediately providing these bureaus with 15 days because I previously gave them more than enough time and information in the past. I would like all findings and conclusion correspondence via CFPB and then an updated copy of my credit report to be mailed to my address. I do not want this complaint closed until the investigation has been completed and I am providing with all documentation in the event they say the account is Validated. I am seeking payoff documentation and all payments XXXX XXXX received from XXXX, all notices I was forwarded in regards to a balance, the original contract associated with this account, my signature bared on the original contract and all documentation produced to your party.
