These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XX/XX/XXXXl XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

" 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.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment, anger, and disbelief regarding your handling of the fraudulent accounts that has appeared on my credit report. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this issue and my diligent submission of all required documentation, including the FTC Identity Theft Report, these fraudulent accounts remains unresolved, and my credit report continues to reflect inaccuracies that are severely impacting my financial standing and peace of mind. 
I brought these fraudulent accounts to your attention because I was assured that an investigation would be conducted, and the accounts would be removed if found to be fraudulent. Since then, I have written multiple letters and provided all necessary documents, including : A detailed explanation of the fraudulent accounts. 
The completed FTC Identity Theft Report. 
Copies of my identification documents. 
Any additional information requested by your office. 

Despite my compliance and the clear evidence presented, I am deeply frustrated to find that my efforts have been in vain. The account in question remain on my credit report, and I have not received any satisfactory resolution or clear communication regarding the status of your investigation. 

It is disheartening to experience such neglect and lack of responsiveness from an institution that plays a crucial role in safeguarding consumer financial information. The continued presence of this fraudulent account is not only unjust but also a severe breach of my rights as a consumer. I expect prompt and decisive action to rectify this situation.
