" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the following accounts, which have been inaccurately reported on my credit reports by XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX.

The reporting of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report breaches this right, as I did not consent to their inclusion.

Furnishing of Accounts Without My Written Instructions ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) ) : The FCRA clearly states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I have never provided any authorization or instruction for these accounts to be reported under my name. 

These violations have caused significant distress and potential harm to my financial standing. I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and ensure that the unauthorized accounts are removed from my credit reports. Additionally, I request that any necessary corrective action be taken against the responsible parties to prevent future violations of my rights. 

Enclosed with this letter are copies of my credit reports from XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX, highlighting the unauthorized accounts. I have also included any relevant correspondence that may assist in the investigation. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I trust that the CFPB will take swift action to resolve this issue and uphold the protections guaranteed to me under the FCRA. Please feel free to contact me if you require any additional information or documentation.
