I am submitting this complaint to inform you that I have been a victim of identity theft. After conducting research on how to remove the fraudulent items from my credit report, I discovered that I need to file a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which can be done at www.ftc.gov. According to Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are obligated to remove any items listed in an identity theft report.

Enclosed are the necessary documents to assist in the removal of the erroneous information currently appearing on my report. Below is a list of items that do not belong to me or were opened without my authorization As stipulated in FCRA Section 605B ( a ), credit reporting agencies are required to remove any information identified by the consumer as resulting from identity theft within four business days of receipt of this request.

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  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 in those account to be removed.

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.

( CREDITOR NAME ) Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681b, consumer reports should only be accessed for permissible purposes, such as credit transactions, employment, insurance, or legitimate business needs. These inquiries do not fall within those permissible purposes. 
Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 restricts the sharing of certain information without proper authorization. I did not authorize these inquiries, and their inclusion on my credit report is unjustified.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

I have sent many prior requests to your company to reinvestigate these inquiries that I believe to be incorrect on my credit report. Arent you required to complete these investigations within 30 days of receipt? I have heard of companies pulling people 's credit without permissible purpose, and I have yet to see verification of those purposes provided by your company. I will once again list the inquiries in need of investigation : I have tried to contact every one of the company listed and most of it do not even have any record of me. How can they have a permissible business purpose to pull my credit if they dont even know who I am?

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them

In XXXX  a trip was purchased using XXXX which was subsequently cancelled due to COVID and mandatory quarantine. The original travel agency then credited back the amount of the trip but after reviewing my credit reports I noticed XXXX  then reported collections on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  through XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  ( after I contacted them several times to explain what happened and how the trip was credited back ). Also they reported CO for XXXX XXXX and there after reported collections for XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

After having no relief from the crediting company XXXX I filed several disputes with the credit bureau 's and it was not handled effectively, and it resulted in no change on my credit report. 

I am demanding this is deleted from my credit reports after inefficient investigations. They also refused a reinvestigation.

Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified items listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat These items are being reported correctly? Who verified these items? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.
