I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my 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 credit score 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.

Experian refusing to look at my dispute. 

My Dept of Education student loans were paid off and I received a confirmation letter of a {$0.00} balance on the loan ( paid in full ), from the servicer, XXXX. My loans were still on my credit report, so I filled out an online dispute with the three main credit bureaus ( Experian, XXXX and XXXX ). The dispute with Experian was reported as resolved within 24 hours, but they did not change anything. It is clear they did not look at any of the documentation provided. I called the Experian customer service line and, after trying to navigate through their nearly impossible phone tree menu ( that did not have an option that matched my need ), I was put on hold for 45 minutes. Once a " specialist '' answered, he refused to actually do anything other than encourage me to file a new dispute. He seemed intent on me not doing it on the phone and kept saying things to discourage me from doing so. He said they needed a letter from the servicer, when I noted that I had provided such a letter, he simply became a broken record and refused to help. Essentially, they refused to examine this issue and refused to fix the mistake on my credit report. I have not heard from the other credit reporting agencies, indicating they are likely actually investigating ( but if not, I will be back ).

Subject : Complaint Against Experian for Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian for its refusal to remove a charge off account from my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 611 ). 

Account Information : Creditor Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX Date of Charge Off : XX/XX/year> Amount : {$1100.00} I have previously disputed the accuracy of this charge off account with Experian and provided evidence that the information is inaccurate. However, Experian has failed to conduct a proper investigation and continues to report the inaccurate information on my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I have the right to request the removal of inaccurate or outdated information from my credit report. Experian 's refusal to comply with this law is a clear violation of my consumer rights. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Experian for its non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am seeking the immediate removal of the inaccurate charge off account from my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution and your assistance in ensuring that Experian upholds its obligations under the law.
