I have encountered issues with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX assuming fraudulent activity my accounts, leading to the repossession of my vehicle and restrictions on all account activities and filing XXXX  charges. Despite the dismissal of the criminal case, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have continued to report late payments as if I defaulted, which I contend is inaccurate since I was current on all accounts prior to their actions. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumer reporting agencies and furnishers of information, like XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. I disputed the accounts and provided the court documents as evidence, but the agencies ignored. Agencies must investigate and correct any inaccuracies found. Being restricted from making payments and defaulting are two different things and must be accurately reported.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft. 

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

I previously submitted a dispute to the CFPB, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and EQUIFAX requesting inaccurate information to be removed from my report. I expect a thorough investigation and for all reporting information be to the MAXIMUM accuracy. According to my consumer report XXXXXXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus are reporting this account as charge-off every single month. The problem with that is the account was only charged off once not three times as reported which makes that VERY inaccurate and detrimental to my consumer file and financial capabilities. It is also a violation that I have continued to ask for for fair credit reporting and all above parties have neglected to do their due diligence. XXXXXXXX XXXX has made claims that they can not produce the original application for this account which I am entitled to have to be able to dispute fairly and accurately. I have attached proof of the negative reporting and would like the error to be fixed. XXXXXXXX XXXX has aLao been sent a Debt Validation certified mail and has failed to respond in a timely manner. Also, lets be clear a telephone number alone without solid proof is not enough to verify an account to say that it is indeed mine which was stated in the previous complaint filed.
