Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute certain information on my consumer report as provided by your agency. I am raising this dispute under the provisions of 15 U.S.C 1681b, specifically focusing on the permissible purpose clause, as I have never provided written consent to your agency for the inclusion of this information on my consumer report. This lack of consent is a concerning issue as it may be indicative of identity theft, and I have already filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) under Reference Number XXXX. 

The following accounts are being reported on my consumer report, and I request their removal : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  I would like to clarify that my dispute is not with the original creditors of these accounts but with your reporting agency 's inclusion of this information on my consumer report without my written consent, which I believe violates the permissible purpose provision under 15 U.S.C 1681b. According to 15 U.S.C 1681C-2 , it is mandated that these items should be removed within the statutory time frame. 

I kindly request your prompt investigation into this matter and the subsequent removal of the aforementioned items from my consumer report. Please provide written confirmation of the removals made and a copy of my updated consumer report once the necessary corrections have been completed. 

I expect this matter to be resolved in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the laws that protect consumer rights. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

I have been working with Specialized Loan Services to modify my mortgage and and help me save my home, they sent me a congratulations letter saying my modification was approved for 480 months at {$900.00}. This program is not helping me it's stealing, simple math says this practice is preditory and saying no w the escrow payment on {$6000.00} will be {$360.00} a month for 5 years. Which is {$21000.00}. And the loan balance is {$110000.00}. 
Seems this is more than preditory if they are trying to help people save their homes.

On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit card was fraudulently used, resulting in a charge of {$690.00}, along with an additional {$20.00} international transaction fee being added to the bill. I reported the incident immediately ( within XXXX hours of the fraudulent activity ).

However, the fraudulent charge remained on my credit card statement. Following this, I repeatedly called BoA to dispute the charge. During these interactions with their inefficient customer service, numerous representatives told me it was a system error and that no investigation had been initiated for the previous claim. They promised to help me open a new claim, but every time I hung up the phone, no new claim was established. Even more troubling, XXXX representative maliciously altered the claim amount to as high as {$2000.00}, which was immediately closed. This forced me to call BoA 's customer service weekly, but I never received a resolution. Additionally, if I am unable to pay off the fraudulent charge promptly, I will be penalized with a delay fee and it will negatively impact my credit score.
