My information was used fraudulently and as a result I am seeing items on my report that I never was associated with. This accounts transaction and charges are fraudulent, I never benefited from any of these transactions, but rather it did a lot of damage to me. I filed an FTC report as I was instructed and sent it in but these fraudulent items still remain

Subject : Second Dispute Identity Theft Request for Removal of Fraudulent Accounts Dear Sir or Madam : I am writing to you regarding a prior dispute I submitted as a victim of identity theft, in which I requested the removal of fraudulent accounts that are negatively affecting my credit report. Despite following the proper procedures, the following accounts remain on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX These accounts were not opened by me, and I have no knowledge of them. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I have the right to request the immediate removal of any information related to fraud or identity theft from my credit file. Additionally, the law requires credit reporting agencies to respond adequately and diligently to disputes. This is the second dispute I am filing on this matter without receiving a proper resolution. I have also attached a copy of the identity theft report that I filed with the relevant authorities, in accordance with the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act ( 18 U.S.C. 1028 ). This law penalizes the creation and use of false or fraudulent identifications, which is pertinent to this case, as my information was used without my authorization. Furthermore, I refer you to the case of " XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX '', XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX where the court held that credit reporting agencies are responsible for conducting thorough investigations when receiving disputes related to errors in credit reports. The failure to adequately investigate my case may constitute a violation of the FCRA, exposing the agency to additional liability.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services (MO)

On XX/XX/XXXX I applied for the new SAVE repayment plan through studentaid.gov. 
On XX/XX/XXXX my application was processing. 
Unknown to me until XX/XX/XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX my application was denied by ED Financial ( my loan servicer ) because I didn't have an active loan. 

In reality ED Financial was transferring loans in its system to a different computer system. That change had a transfer window of XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX based on their emails. They had delays in transfer. They didn't inform that this delay was occurring until late XXXX. Because of their own internal system transfers they didn't see my loan in their system. They inaccurately denied my request. I had to reapply today XX/XX/XXXX over the phone with their customer service rep XXXX. The change wont happen for 31 days, after my next payment which resumed this month is due. 

The change when I applied said my payment was going to drop from close to XXXX to {$74.00}. Now I was told my payment will be closer to {$170.00}. That's okay as long as that is accurate. My XXXX Payment will still be the higher amount even though I timely applied for the change to the SAVE program. ED Financial screwed up, not me. 

XXXX put in a ticket to figure out why my loan was lost during the transfer creating a denial, why I never received the XX/XX/XXXX correspondence informing me my loan was denied, and I think a general complaint on my behalf. She was actually helpful, but still could only convey what basic info she had. It wasn't her fault that ED Financial screwed up from a systems perspective with a failure to properly audit requests that came in on and after XXXX. 

I also tried emailing using their online contact form ( that does not provide an email confirmation/copy so I only screenshot the 2nd submission before submitting. I emailed on XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX. They indicate a 4-5 day response time. XXXX told me it is closer to 27 days currently. I have not received a response to either of those email/contact form requests. If I had received a response I would have been able to resubmit with more than 31 days time. I did try and call in on XX/XX/XXXX but was on a different call when they called back ( 5.5 hours later ) and didn't have a chance till today to call again. 

I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ) that described my old plan, but since I never received the XX/XX/XXXX denial on that SAVE application I just assumed my request hadn't been processed yet. That was also why I reached out via the contact form to get answers regarding that XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) letter. 

ED Financial should have known their system was causing issues with requests because they failed to meet the transfer schedule they informed us would be in place. They knew when SCOTUS denied the forgiveness and a new plan was created that lot of change requests would start. I applied to give plenty of time to allow those changes to take effect.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed an account that was not reporting accurately. I had three late payments on an account that I was in fact paid on time. The consumer reporting agencies have need to report all information with complete accuracy. This account has not been late on payments. I've attached a copy of my report to this complaint on the following dates : XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>. 

I'm now requesting you investigate and provide verifiable proof with records showing that I had late payments. If this information can not be verified I demand these payments be updated to paid on time immediately. Thank you for your understanding and prompt action.

Section 611 ( a ) ( 4 ) Right to Demand Deletion if No Response from Furnisher : - If a data furnisher fails to respond to a dispute within the required 30-day timeframe, the credit bureau must delete the disputed information from the consumer 's credit report. This provision is powerful if data furnishers do not comply with their obligation to verify disputed information promptly. These provisions offer robust protection under the FCRA and can be used to challenge persistent inaccuracies and ensure that both credit bureaus and data furnishers maintain accurate and fair reporting practices.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure that all information reported is accurate and verifiable. Additionally, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, requires debt collectors to validate debts upon request. This debt collection account has not been properly verified, which is a clear violation of these federal laws. The recent court case XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reaffirms that credit bureaus must conduct a thorough and reasonable investigation into disputes to ensure that reported information is accurate.
