While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that XXXX out of XXXX of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

To Whom It May Concern, I previously sent a letter to your bureau on XX/XX/XXXX. In response, you claimed that the disputed items were verified. This letter serves as my formal rebuttal to your unfounded assertion that the challenged items were indeed verified. 
Please recall that my original complaint explicitly requested either physically verifiable Metro 2 compliant proof or immediate deletion of the disputed items. Your response failed to meet the criteria outlined in my initial request. Below, I have reiterated the items included in my original dispute : LATE PAYMENTS : Account Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX CHARGE OFF : Account Name : SXXXX 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  For the items you claim to have verified, I request specific details regarding the verification process. Who did you speak with at the original creditor to verify these items? How was contact made, via phone or in writing? Did you utilize a UDF form or automated dispute verification?

As outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681I ), I am entitled to a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedure within 15 days of my request. I expect your response within this timeframe. It is important to note that I am not seeking a generic system-generated response but rather specific information regarding the verification process. 
If you are unable to provide the requested information, I demand the immediate deletion of the referenced accounts from my credit report. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (TX)

I made an ACH payment to my PayPal account on XXXX/XXXX/15. I have repeatedly called about the receipt of my payment and the status of my account. Although several customer service agents told me they could see the receipt of the payment, the last one told me I would be able to see it on the XXXX XXXX statement. 

This being XXXX XXXX, I went to the PayPal login page and I was denied access. I spent almost 20 minutes on the call in which I was finally given a new login ( after I was told my account user name was an email account I have n't used for almost 10 years, for example. There was other nonsense in the call all, it seems, was arranged to prevent access to my account. ) My repeated requests to have my call escalated were rebuffed and accompanied with more requests to verify personal information, the last and final was information about my bank account beginning with the routing number. At that point I terminated the call and contacted the CFPB.

I was informed that my account was verified and accurate after my initial dispute months ago. I reviewed my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. Even though I requested deletion from Credit Reporting Agencies, my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), codified as 15 U.S.C. 1681 in my opinion was not a reasonable investigation. Specifically, the agencies and companies have reported outdated and inaccurate information on my credit report without my written consent, which violates my federally protected consumer rights in 1681e section b. Violation of Privacy Rights : Under the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681b, a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a consumer report without the consumers written consent unless it is for a permissible purpose as defined by the Act. The outdated information reported on my credit report was furnished without my explicit written consent, violating my right to privacy and the confidentiality of my personal information. Violation of Consumer Rights : As stipulated in 15 U.S.C. 1681c. Specifically, outdated information like personal information from XXXX is beyond the permissible reporting period and should not be included in consumer reports.

Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request. 

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.
