I am writing to report an inclusion of late payment from Account name XXXX XXXX Account number XXXX on my consumer credit report. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax are violating my rights because they violate the provisions of 15 U.S.C. 1681a, which defines a consumer report and outlines its permissible content. Specifically, the law states that consumer reports can not include information about transactions or experiences between a consumer and the person making the report. This includes late payments, which should not be reported under these guidelines. 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) Exclusions. This Account has already been disputed previously and marked as completed which equals as a failure to correct this violation for which I now demand a {$1000.00} compensation as well as the removal of the late payment as a result of this failure. It has come to my attention that the reporting of late payments on my credit report is inaccurate and unlawful. The continued inclusion of such information violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and creates an unfair representation of my creditworthiness.

I recently checked my credit report and noticed several fraudulent accounts and inquiries that I did not authorize, consent to, or benefit from. I immediately contacted the creditors and the credit bureaus, but no one has been willing to assist me in resolving these issues. Despite my efforts, including filing a new FTC report ( attached ), nothing has been done. 

This situation has caused me significant emotional distress and anxiety, and I am demanding that these fraudulent accounts and inquiries be blocked and removed from my credit report as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from Bank of America ( XXXX ) saying that I had opened a Savings account and Online banking account using my email address. I did not open these accounts with Bank of America. When I go onto their website and put " Forgot password '' and enter my social security number with the last digits on those accounts it says that there are active accounts that were set up with my social security number using a telephone number that does not belong to me. I have been unable to get into contact with Bank of America using their XXXX numbers as I do not have access to the full account numbers, just the last XXXX digits that were in the emails that were sent to my email address. I suspect fraud has occurred using my social security number and email address to set up these accounts with Bank of America.

RE : XXXX  XXXX XXXX It is crucial that consumer reporting agencies uphold their grave responsibilities when it comes to the handling of consumers personal credit files. After performing a re-investigation upon my credit file for accounts XXXX  XXXX XXXX pursuant to 15 USC 1681ia1a, your company failed to follow proper procedures in regard to correspondence to me the consumer, in the handling of the reinvestigation. As clearly outlined within, 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) ; 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy Subchapter 7 states the following ; ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a detailed description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description. Further outlined within 15 USC ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) ; ( 6 ) Notice of results of reinvestigation ( A ) In general A consumer reporting agency shall provide written notice to a consumer of the results of a reinvestigation under this subsection not later than 5 business days after the completion of the reinvestigation, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by other means available to the agency. ( iii ) a notice that, if requested by the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available. The correspondence mentioned above was NEVER made to me and therefore, your company is in direct violation of the FCRA and is now liable for monetary damages detailed within 15 USC 1681n and 15 USC 1681o. Not only was a proper reinvestigation not performed as the derogatory account mentioned is erroneous to begin with, your agency failed to follow the FCRAs clear rules in the handling of correspondence to me in association with the account in question. Please delete this erroneous account as I have sought legal counsel in this matter and intend on seeking damages associated with this complaint if this issue is not resolved. Thank you for your time.

Dear Experian, I recently received your response to my complaint about not receiving a proper investigation from your company. I disagree with your assessment that I did not provide enough information to support my complaint. I submitted screenshots and detailed information about the issue, and I expect a thorough and fair investigation. 

Additionally, I would like to point out that I am currently disputing my entire consumer report with XXXX, as they recently removed everything from my report. Given this, I have reason to believe that my Experian report may contain inaccuracies as well. Although I was unable to find the report number in the Experian online service, I pulled an updated report on XXXX. 

I am concerned that your response to my email, rather than through the CFPB complaint system, may indicate an attempt to close my complaint before it is fully resolved. I request that you take all necessary steps to ensure that my complaint is properly investigated and that I receive a resolution that rectifies the harm caused by your company 's actions. 

Please let me know if you need any additional information from me to assist with resolving this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

I sent my letter off on XXXX XXXX. I told the credit bureaus to " investigate EVERY piece of information '' on the accounts I have listed below. I stated 15 USC 1681 andAlso, I have attached tracking info XXXX 
According to the FRCA, the term " investigate consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living, is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on, or with others with whom he is acquainted or whom may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 

They stated my account was verified nut how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law? Also, every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % accurate and according to the FRCA USC 1681, everything has to be 100 % accurate. I have the credit report showing the inaccuracies.

I'm glad to see that my report has been improved in numerous ways, including the deletion of certain accounts that I had previously disputed. However, there are a few accounts on my report that are fraudulent and the result of identity theft. I'd like to ask for your assistance in getting rid of the remaining few items on my report. According to FCRA section 605b, credit bureaus are required to remove or block any accounts that have been listed on an identity theft report. To prevent fraudulent information from being submitted in my report, I've included a few papers.

I received my investigation back and you stated you completed a fair investigation. You also said these accounts are 100 % accurate. 



But can you please answer this one question? How did you investigate these accounts? Because according to the fair credit reporting act 15 U.S. Code 1681a this is how you are supposed to investigative my consumer report : Did you interview my neighbors? 



Did you interview my friends? 



Who did you talk to? 



One more thing can you please tell me how everything is 100 % present and accurate if the account number, Date opened, payment status, creditor type, and date last active on these accounts are not reporting the same information? 



You have violated multiple laws below : 15 U.S. Code 1681a 15 U.S. Code 1681 15 U.S. Code 1681i I demand you delete the accounts from my report I listed : Account name - XXXX XXXX Account number - XXXX Account name - XXXX Account number - XXXX Account number - XXXX Delete these accounts immediately or you will be held responsible for XXXX per violation.
