Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? 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 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THIS ACCOUNT? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Please DELETE the account, or inaccurate information, from my file immediately XXXX XXXX XXXX

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX AND XXXX 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 XXXX AND XXXX 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. XXXX XXXX XXXX AND XXXX 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

" 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. ''

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MD)

As of XX/XX/year>, all four major credit bureausEquifax, Experian, XXXX, and XXXX made it impossible for me to add a personal statement to my credit report despite my repeated efforts to contact each one of them over the past two weeks. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and to add a personal statement explaining their side of the story if a dispute is unresolved. The persistent failure of these credit bureaus to facilitate this process violates my rights under the FCRA and has left me without a means to ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my circumstances. This stonewalling not only hinders my ability to clarify my credit history but also raises serious concerns about their compliance with federal laws designed to protect consumers. 

Moreover, XXXX, Experian, and XXXX have closed out all of my disputes filed directly with each of them without providing me any results or explanations for their decisions. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), which mandates that credit bureaus must investigate disputes and provide the results to the consumer. By failing to inform me of the outcomes, these bureaus have disregarded their legal obligations and left me in the dark about the status of my disputes. This lack of transparency is particularly troubling given the serious nature of the inaccuracies on my report, which include incorrect information fraudulently provided by XXXXXXXX XXXX  The continued presence of these errors on my credit report has unjustly affected my credit standing, undermining the purpose of the XXXX and FCRA. 

In addition to their failure to provide dispute results, XXXX, Experian, and XXXX have perpetuated the misinformation supplied by XXXXXXXX XXXX, despite clear evidence that refutes the bank 's claims. The FCRA requires credit bureaus to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. However, by maintaining false information on my credit report, they have further violated my rights under the FCRA. This persistent inaccuracy has not only caused undue harm and inconvenience but also highlights the systemic issues within these credit bureaus regarding their handling of consumer disputes and adherence to federal regulations. The combined failures of these institutions to investigate, resolve disputes within the legally required timeline, and provide necessary information underline the urgent need for immediate corrective action to rectify my credit report and prevent further legal ramifications.

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a debt validation letter via certified mail to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) requesting validation of a debt they claimed I owed. Instead of validating the debt as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), XXXX transferred or sold the debt to XXXX XXXX without providing the necessary validation. 

15 U.S.C. 1692g ( Debt Validation ) : Under this section, once a consumer disputes a debt in writing or requests validation, the debt collector must stop all collection activities until they provide verification of the debt. Selling or transferring the debt without providing validation violates this provision.

15 U.S.C. 1692e ( False or Misleading Representations ) : This section prohibits debt collectors from using any false, deceptive, or misleading means in connection with the collection of any debt. Transferring or selling a debt without validation may be considered misleading and deceptive conduct.

I have not received any validation of this debt from XXXX, yet they have transferred it to XXXX XXXX for collection. This is a violation of the FDCPA, which requires that all collection activities stop until the debt is properly validated.

I have proof of the certified mail receipt that I will upload to support my claim.

Additionally, these fraudulent accounts have led to several unauthorized hard inquiries and collections appearing on my consumer XXXX credit report. I have attached a list of the specific hard inquiries in question, along with a copy of the consumer FICO credit report maintained by you that displays these fraudulent items. I do not recognize the listed accounts, collections, or hard inquiries, and I affirm that none of them were opened, initiated, or authorized by me. They are entirely the result of identity theft and fraud. 

As further evidence, I have attached a copy of the FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint ( Case Number : XXXX ) to confirm that the fraudulent accounts, collections, and hard inquiries were filed with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission as identity theft-related.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request, pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), that you, the credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of receiving this complaint. 

Please advise me on the necessary steps to resolve this issue and correct my credit report accordingly. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
