Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NJ)

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 submitting a complaint about being a victim of fraudulent activity. To remove the fraudulent items from my report, I learned that I need to file an identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission at XXXX XXXX XXXXftc.gov.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

XX/XX/2024 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Formal Request for Re-investigation and Removal of Incorrect Bankruptcy Listing on Credit Report I am writing to follow up on my previous complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit report by [ EQUIFAX ). Despite being verified, the bankruptcy entry remains a clear and direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I urge a thorough re-investigation and immediate removal of this incorrect entry.

US BANKRUPTCY COURT Account Number : XXXX XXXX. Persistent Inaccuracy Despite Verification : The bankruptcy entry on my credit report is inaccurate. Despite my previous complaint and the so-called verification process, this error persists. This not only causes substantial harm to my financial status but also undermines my rights under the FCRA.

2. Re-Evaluation of Privacy Rights Under FCRA : Under 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( 4 ), I am entitled to privacy and accuracy in my credit reporting. Re-reporting and verifying flawed information without thorough investigation contravene this statutory protection.

3. Questionable Permissible Purpose : According to 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies must have a verifiable permissible purpose to disclose my credit information. The maintenance and dissemination of inaccurate bankruptcy information do not meet this requirement and imply a serious oversight in due diligence.

4. Inadequate Re-investigation Process : The current verification does not align with the requirements of 15 U.S. Code S 1681 ( a ), which mandates a comprehensive and meaningful re-investigation of disputed information. The inadequate and superficial verification process has perpetuated this critical error on my credit report.

The persistence of this erroneous bankruptcy entry on my credit report despite prior verification is unacceptable and a clear violation of FCRA. I trust that the CFPB will prioritize this follow-up complaint, enforce compliance with FCRA regulations , and guarantee a swift and fair resolution.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
