I was able to speak with XXXX XXXX and after a few weeks they sent me a letter stating the application was fraudulent and they would be sending out a letter to the credit bureaus requesting deletion. After this happened I put a credit freeze and fraud alert on all 3 of my accounts with the credit bureaus. Now on XX/XX/2023 the name of the inquiry has changed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC, it has the same date as XXXX XXXX  and everything. Soon as XXXX XXXX sent me the letter stating it was fraudulent the name of the inquiry changed but with the same date.

I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors. 

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

I am also placing a FTC reference number- # XXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. 

Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

I sent certified mail to all 3 bureaus on XX/XX/2023 and again on XX/XX/2023 when they stated they verified all information, but never sent any type of proof. I asked them all to investigate these companies listed below according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I stated they are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, or email in a fraudulent account. 

I demanded to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with my signature on it ) that they have on file for the account listed below. I haven't received anything, but them stating they verified these accounts. 

Their failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed and if they are unable to provide me with a copy of the verifiable proof, they must remove the accounts which are listed below.

I applied for a mortgage loan with Regions Mortgage in XX/XX/2021. I was approved for a mortgage loan and began looking for a home with my realtor XXXX XXXX XXXX. Once we were under contract for a home I was told we could close on my home before XXXX. That date was pushed back to XX/XX/XXXX. I explained that I needed to close before the XXXX so that I would not have to pay mortgage in XXXX. The closing got pushed back to XX/XX/XXXX due to error from my loan XXXX XXXX XXXX. The reasoning for pushing the closing back is in the email that is attached to this complaint. After talking to my realtor this is not the first time XXXX XXXX has done this. Now it seems like this is on purpose.

This is in reference to : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account ending in XXXX Balance due : {$4800.00} I trust this message finds you well. I've been reviewing my credit report and came across some information that raised a few questions. In my exploration, I delved into the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 USC 1681, section 602, which highlights the need for consumer reporting agencies to exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumers ' right to privacy. As a consumer, I've been thinking about my rights and responsibilities in this context. According to 15 USC 6801, it is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and protect the security and confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information. Digging deeper, I found 15 USC 1681, section 604, which outlines the circumstances under which a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report. It explicitly mentions that they can do so only in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I want to emphasize that I haven't given any written consent for the sharing of my information, and this concerns me. Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) notes that a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a non-affiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how they can exercise the nondisclosure option. To my knowledge, I have not been informed of such an option. I also stumbled upon 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), which states that no consumer reporting agency may make a consumer report containing adverse information without authorization. It appears that an adverse item is being reported without my permission, which, according to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A, is against the law. The Act further mandates that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of the statute. Unfortunately, it seems that Equifax and XXXX may not be following these guidelines, as indicated in 15 U.S. Code 1681e. Lastly, I discovered in 12 CFR 1016.7 that a consumer has the right to opt out of reporting services at any time. I'm choosing to exercise that right. I wanted to bring these specific sections of the Act to your attention and discuss how we can address these concerns. Your insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, XXXX XXXX

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report.

The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my XXXX score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my XXXX XXXX and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.
