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 filing a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX due to unethical credit reporting practices. 
I received notification that XXXX 's incorrectly placed a 30 day late on my credit report for XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted XXXX via telephone on several occasions to have this corrected and it was not. While my balance was paid in full, XXXX added additional interest charges in XX/XX/XXXX for {$2.00}, which was then submitted to the credit bureaus as a 30 day late for not paying an interest charge which did not appear on my statement at the time of payment in XX/XX/XXXX. 
I contacted XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to have my store credit card closed. I submitted final payment on this account to pay the balance in full. I received notification from XXXX that the account was in fact closed in XX/XX/XXXX. I received a statement from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, indicating that a {$2.00} interest charge was added to this closed account on XX/XX/XXXX. Why would a closed account still be receiving statements and a random interest charge of {$2.00}? I am filing this complaint hoping that you will investigate the unfair credit reporting practices for XXXX - XXXX XXXX. as I'm concerned that many consumers are falling prey to their predatory practices of unfair credit reporting and invalid interest charges. They charge accounts extra interest and then report it to the credit bureaus as unpaid or paid late. This is unfair to consumers.

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint concerning a persistent issue with my credit report that has severely impacted my financial well-being. Despite my efforts, this matter has remained unresolved since XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered a fraudulent XXXX XXXX account on my credit report, with the account number XXXX. Despite numerous attempts to rectify this issue with the credit bureau, including providing all necessary documentation, the account has been reinserted into my credit report. This ongoing issue has caused me significant stress and frustration. 

In an effort to resolve this matter and alleviate the associated stress, I decided to pay the account, despite its fraudulent nature. However, the account remains on my credit report with the following details : Current Payment Status : In Collections/Charge-off ( 15 USC 1681i ) Remarks XXXX Payment after charge off/collection ; Dispute resolved; reported by grantor ( 15 USC 1681s-2 ) Times XX/XX/XXXX Days XXXX : ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) Closed As Of : XX/XX/XXXX Additionally, the credit bureau removed the account at XXXX point XXXX only to reinsert it later. This cycle of removal and reinsertion led me to pay the account in hopes of resolving the issue, but the account remains unresolved. I also requested validation from the creditor and completed an identity theft affidavit, yet the account persists on my report. 

For your reference, I previously filed a complaint on XX/XX/XXXX, under COMPLAINT ID XXXX & XXXX. However, the response addressed a different account, an auto loan with reference number XXXX. The account I am disputing is the XXXX XXXX account mentioned above. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please contact me if you require any additional information or documentation.

" 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. ''
