I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts. Actually I am not sure that the accounts are even mine though your company claims to have verified this. 
Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, Equifax, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the XXXX system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the XXXX, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Transaction value : {$60.00} USD The transfer destination is XXXX, I am XXXX as well. I have previously sent a number of transfers to the specific recipient prior.

I have filed a customer service case with MoneyGram XXXX Case # XXXX XXXX. They have not responded to it.

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I co-leased a XXXX XXXX  XXXX at XXXX XXXX, today XXXX XXXX  in XXXX XXXX, CA, without any problem or late payment for more than two years. Unfortunately, on XX/XX/XXXX this car had an accident and was totaled. The insurance made all the arraignments and paid Kia   Finance a total of {$15000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX supposedly for the full payment of the car and covering all the expenses owed. Until XX/XX/XXXX we received an email from my credit card company saying that there was a change on our credit report and to our surprise there was still a balance on the XXXX   Finance account of {$280.00} dlls money owed for a car that was no longer in his possession since XX/XX/XXXX and that XXXX XXXX assured that the account was cleared. XXXX XXXX paid what was requested from KIA FINANCE but it seems that a balance was left unpaid and we never receive any letter requested by mail, email or call. To end this situation, we paid the balance of {$280.00} on XX/XX/XXXX but the damage to his credit was already done. 
We made calls and sent letters to Kia Finance clear this out, that I was never late in any payment but the company denied to fix it, and we are still disputing this issue with the credit companies and even hired a third party company to fix it.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

National Credit Systems was sent a Request for Validation, Not Verification letter certified mail on XX/XX/2020. It was being sent about erroneous reporting to the Credit Bureaus. Also all three Credit Bureaus were sent letters certified mail pursuant to the fair Debit Collections Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec 809 ( b ) that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. 

I asked to please provide me with the following : What the money you say I owe is for : Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe : Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe : Provide a verification or copy of any judgement if applicable : Provide the Statue of Limitations has not expired on this account : Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state : Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent or Agent of Service : National Credit Services has not responded in 30 days. They sent a letter on XX/XX/2020 for a 50 % off of the debt of {$640.00} of the {$1200.00} if I responded by XX/XX/2020. 

Equifax Credit Bureau has sent a letter asking to verify my identity. My letter was sent with two forms of ID. Drivers license and Social Security number. 
Experian Credit Bureau has it pending until XX/XX/2020 Transunion has not responded about the dispute as well. 
This has caused my credit score to decline tremendously and caused me not getting a major purchase and defamation to my character because of the reporting on public record or collection of debt. 

All three major bureau 's have played stall tactics and continue to report erroneous information. I have all information from and return receipts of my first letters sent to bureau 's and National Credit Systems. 

They are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 
Defamation of Character Please help me to expedite the results of removing these erroneous items from my credit report.

'' XXXX, XXXX, and Experian are consumer reporting agencies, and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' XXXX XXXX  is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604a section 2 states that, " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), Any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' XXXX, XXXX, and Experian the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX, XXXX, and Experian do not have my consent to furnish this information, and I never gave my written consent.

'' XXXX XXXX  never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option.

I have a XXXX XXXX credit card where I incurred a late fee for the balance on the bill of {$5.00} back in XX/XX/2020. The company reversed this late fee for me ; however, it is showing on my credit as a late payment which is hurting my credit I spoke with the company and they have not yet helped to resolve this for me. 

As someone who is in their 20s and previously uneducated on credit, I now understand how important prompt payment is in this matter and this will not let this happen again.I have been extremely diligent since then to ensure all bills are paid on time. 

I completely take responsibility for my naivety and promise in my maturity to move forward with financial competence.
