I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days. 

I request that you update, block, or remove the inaccurate accounts and unauthorized inquiries listed on my credit report. 

Please review the attached letter for further details. Thank you for your assistance.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

Throughout the week of XX/XX/2019 I contacted Experian, XXXX and XXXX about adding my phone number to my fraud alert. They all refused and further demanded I mail in my photo ID in order to accomodate my request. 

The major issue here is that the bureaus can ask consumers all sorts of personal questions to verify exactly who they are only to tell them thats not good enough, mail in more of your personal information ... ... 

All I attempted to do was add my phone number, which was removed by each bureau, so that any creditor attempting to run my credit could call my number to verify it's me!!! 

The bureaus each state just to get my photo ID into the system would take as long as 10 to 14 days. In the meantime, I'm suffering the embarrassment of two creditors placing red flags on my pending accounts as if I did something wrong because all the Bureaus demand I mail in my photo ID in order to verify who I am to simply add my phone number to the fraud alert! Really!!!!! 

Most credit bureaus have been hacked into recently with no fines to pay for allowing strangers into their platforms who now have all of my personal information. But yet they are here giving me a hard time!!! Why??? 

Fix this issue please! 


Secondly, I have previously complained of the abuses of all three bureaus, XXXX, Experian and XXXX reporting a Bankruptcy on my report and demanded it be removed more than 10 times at each bureau as it does not belong to me and actually reports inaccurate information. 

In XX/XX/2019 I added a personal note stating that I have contacted XXXX to have that report frozen where no one has access to that information. However, as of XX/XX/2019 XXXX and Experian refuse to remove the bankruptcy item form the report and so states that it is " verified as accurate ''. 

I have previously written to each bureau and demanded their procedures for verification as well as the names of any person who walked into the bankruptcy court and requested information regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX and a Clerk, any clerk, then and there gave over any form of verification to that person to report as verified as accurate. The Clerk at the XXXX Texas Bankruptcy Court states " this court will never verify any information to any credit bureau ''!!! This information is currently reporting as a personal note on my report and still causing loss and damages to my person XXXX XXXX XXXX!!!

Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan — 
Company: BANK OZK (FL)

On XX/XX/XXXX myself, my fianance, and the gentleman who had the loan with The Bank OZK went to the XXXX branch to pay of his XXXX XXXX motor home. We took a cashier check drawn on XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$25000.00}, a cashier check drawn on XXXX Bank in the amount of {$130000.00} and {$29000.00} in cash to pay the loan off because we were purchasing the motor home from the the indivdual who had the loan with the bank. We were told by the woman at the bank that processed the payoff that she would ask that the title be expedited because there was a ten-day hold because the monies were not wired. We were not told that if the monies had been wired we would receive the title quicker until we were leaving her office. We were told by an employee at the call center that they also do a ten-day hold on wired funds. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, both cashier checks cleared the banks they were drawn, and The Bank OZK had the funds needed to satisfy the loan. On XX/XX/XXXX the man with the loan was told that the loan was satisfied and the lien had been cleared, but still they hold the title.

Accounts on my credit report have been linked to identity theft without my proper authorization, including a signature. I've already discussed this matter with your organization, and I'm formally requesting the swift removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue isn't resolved appropriately, I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as buying a home and providing for my family.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX for unauthorized and inaccurate reporting on my credit report. Specifically, a charge-off amount of {$3900.00} was reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>, which is not only erroneous but also violates several federal laws designed to protect consumer rights. 

Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Related Regulations 1. Violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 : As a victim of identity theft, I have informed the credit bureaus of this issue and requested the removal of the fraudulent information. According to this statute, a consumer reporting agency is required to block the reporting of any information resulting from identity theft no later than 4 business days after receiving such notification. It has now been 30 days since my notification, and this information remains on my report. This delay is a direct violation of my rights under this provision. I demand that these items be deleted from my credit report IMMEDIATELY.

2. Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( 1 ) : This statute specifies that no income, transactions, or experiences should be reported on consumer credit reports. The entry by XXXX XXXX XXXX includes information related to income and transactions that are unauthorized and not permissible under the FCRA. 
3. Violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports : Under this section, a consumer report may only be furnished under certain specific circumstances, such as in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. I have never provided written consent to any consumer reporting agency to report the information in question. Reporting without my consent constitutes identity theft and a violation of my rights as a federally protected consumer.

4. Violation of 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( p ) : This provision defines the terms related to credit and associated transactions. The reporting of a charge-off amount does not meet the criteria for reportable information under this statute, and therefore, it should not be included in my consumer credit report.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (VA)

Experian will not allow me to unfreeze my credit report online. The mail-in process is not helpful because my ability to secure housing depends on this report being accessible. 

I have successfully lifted the freeze at the other two major credit reporting bureaus, but the identity verification process has repeatedly returned a screen saying my request can not be honored and that I have to mail in a request. 

Additionally, efforts to retrieve my PIN were met with similar refusals to honor the request. I am NOT posing as anyone and would be HAPPY to answer more rigorous identity confirmation questions. I also can electronically provide the proof they request. 

Mailing is not an option for me given the timeframe in which I need resolution.
