I am writing to express my deep frustration and anger regarding the continued presence of a charge-off account on my credit report despite numerous attempts to have it removed. I find it utterly unacceptable that my repeated efforts to address this matter have resulted in nothing but prolonged inconvenience and damage to my financial standing. 

I initially brought the existence of this erroneous charge-off account to your attention. Since then, Despite my best efforts, the charge-off account remains stubbornly affixed to my credit report. 

This situation is not only impacting my creditworthiness but is also causing significant emotional distress and hindering my ability to secure favorable financial arrangements. I am at a loss as to why a seemingly straightforward issue continues to persist, and I demand immediate and effective action to rectify this injustice. 

I insist on a thorough investigation into this matter and the prompt removal of the charge-off account from my credit report. Furthermore, I demand an explanation for the repeated failures to address this issue adequately. The lack of resolution is not only an egregious violation of my consumer rights but is also indicative of a severe failure in your dispute resolution process. 

I expect this matter to be treated with the utmost urgency, and I anticipate a comprehensive response within the exact timeframe from the date of this letter. Failure to resolve this matter promptly will leave me with no choice but to escalate my complaint to the relevant regulatory authorities and explore legal avenues to address this matter. 

I have attached, once again, the supporting documents for your reference. I trust that this will be the final occasion on which I am forced to provide evidence for an issue that should have been resolved expeditiously. I am asking for your assistance to remove this charge off account in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$7700.00}.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CO)

Around XXXX XXXX XXXX, I booked an appointment with a photographer with XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX for {$210.00}. At the time I did not live near the photographer, and I had to reschedule the shoot. She said it was fine, and would hold onto the money, and in the future would provide me with a shooting whenever I could be in town. She then continued to string me along for 6 months, and without warning nearly doubled the price of her bookings, and when it came time for our booking ( that wed agreed upon in advance ), she didnt want to provide me with a refund, or a half-booking since I couldnt pay the full price. I am a college student, and was initially drawn to her because of her low pricings for couples photos. I tried to get the money back through the bank, however they ended up rejecting my claim and retracted my provisional credit. Ive had a XXXX XXXX for quite some time that has left me out of work and now my account is negative, and the bank ( Wells Fargo ) says there is nothing they can do. I am hoping to get the money back directly from the photographer, and I have text receipts to corroborate my story.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I have recently discovered that other credit bureaus have already removed this account from their records as they did not provide enough information for me to verify this debt. I was the victim in this situation, and I am perplexed as to why your bureau is not complying with the law, especially when other bureaus have followed suit by addressing and correcting these inaccuracies. Given the lack of information provided to verify this debt, I request that you cease reporting this account immediately. Without proper validation and information, continuing to report this account is not only inaccurate but also incomplete and unverifiable. I want to emphasize that I was the victim of this error, and I am very frustrated by the apparent disregard for compliance with the law exhibited by your bureau. Other bureaus have successfully rectified similar issues, and I expect your bureau to do the same. XXXX  XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/2019 XXXX : {$490000.00}. I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ).

I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX for their continued reporting of an inaccurate and closed child support account on my credit report, which is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under U.S. Code Title 15, Section 1681. 

The account in question XXXX XXXX Family Support Division XXXX XXXXXXXX is inaccurately reported under a name that does not legally correspond to mine. Additionally, this account has been closed due to this inaccuracy by the creditor and, as such, should not be appearing on my credit report at all. The presence of this incorrect and outdated information is adversely affecting my credit score and, subsequently, my financial opportunities. 

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. The continued misreporting of my closed child support account, along with the discrepancy in the name associated with the account, constitutes a clear violation of these regulations. 

I have previously attempted to resolve this matter by contacting TransUnion, XXXX and XXXX directly and have disputed this account, highlighting its inaccuracies and requesting its removal. Despite these efforts, the account continues to be reported, demonstrating a failure on their part to adequately investigate and rectify the inaccuracies in my credit report. 

Therefore, I am seeking the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in this matter. I respectfully request that the CFPB : 1. Investigate the reporting practices of TransUnion, XXXX and XXXX in relation to my credit report. 
2. Ensure the immediate deletion of the inaccurately reported and closed child support account from my credit report. 
3. Confirm that all future reports byTransUnion, XXXX and XXXX ] are accurate and compliant with the FCRA. 

Enclosed with this letter are copies of my previous correspondence with [ Credit Reporting Agencys Name ], as well as evidence supporting the closure of the child support account and the discrepancy in the name reported. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a resolution that corrects my credit report and upholds the standards of accuracy and fairness as mandated by the FCRA. 

Enclosed is the statement from the agency closing my account along with the continued inaccurate information pertaining to my legal name. Also enclosed is my legal ID and proof of my legal name which proves this account inaccurate and in violation.
