Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Information on Credit Report - FCRA Section 611 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute inaccurate information listed on my credit report provided by Equifax. Pursuant to my rights under Section 611 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to have any inaccuracies promptly investigated and corrected. 
After reviewing my credit report dated XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I have identified discrepancies that necessitate your immediate attention : XXXX. Last Reported : XXXX and XXXX both report the last update as XX/XX/XXXX, while Equifax reports XX/XX/XXXX. This slight difference may not be significant but is worth noting if strict accuracy is necessary. 
XXXX. The account Number : XXXX has a different account number, while Equifax and XXXX has the same. 
XXXX. Comments : o XXXX : Charged off as bad debt. 
o Equifax : Account was in dispute- now resolved - reported by subscriber. 
o XXXX : Unpaid balance reported as a loss by the credit grantor. 
XXXX. Date Last Active and Date of Last Payment : Date Last Active : XXXX and XXXX both show XX/XX/XXXX, while Equifax shows XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX. HIGH CREDIT : Is showing as {$0.00} on the XXXX report but is correctly listed as {$5600.00} on both the Equifax and XXXX reports. 
XXXX CREDIT LIMIT : for Equifax is reported as {$0.00} while it should be {$5600.00}, similar to XXXX and how XXXX should have reported the high credit, this requires a correction as well. 


Section 611 of the FCRA mandates that you conduct a reasonable investigation into these discrepancies. This is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Removal of Inaccurate/invalidated credit information, please remove immediately Therefore, I am enclosing copies of supporting documentation to assist in your investigation, including [ documents/evidence supporting your claim, such as billing statements, payment records, or correspondence with creditors ].

I hereby request that you undertake a thorough investigation of this matter and provide me with a detailed explanation of your findings within 30 days, as stipulated by Section 611 of the FCRA. Should the information be found to be inaccurate, I expect prompt correction or removal from my credit report. 
Furthermore, pursuant to Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( ii ) of the FCRA, I request that you notify me of the results of your investigation and any amendments made to my credit report. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will handle this dispute in compliance with federal law. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (HI)

I ordered a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I received a fraud alert on before I even received the credit card. I called Barclays who holds the card and they told me to destroy the card when it arrives and they will send a new one. I never received the original or the replacement card. I called monthly and explained the situation I was told they would correct it and get a new card to me asap. After about a year of calling in to no avail I stared receiving a charge for annual dues for {$99.00} dollars. I continued to call asking for help explaining I never received the card, there has never been a charge on it and I should not be responsible for dues until I receive the card the person always agrees tells me not to worry the {$99.00} and they will get a new card to me. I explained the situation and I keep getting the same story I asked to speak to a XXXX but none were ever available. In XXXX I received another email saying I owed {$99.00}. I was told they had been turning me in to collections and I had to pay or cancel the card to stop the charges. I recently took out a loan for a new vehicle and they stated my credit rating dropped from mid XXXX to XXXX because of a Barclays unpaid bill. I called several more times to correct the situation been placed on hold, dropped calls, no mgr available, on and on, lncluding call back on XXXX. I am. Small business owner and have very little free time so you can XXXX my frustration and amazement how a company that large can be so inefficient and then turn me in for a service they never provided. I finally made contact with a XXXX after a I dont know how many more phone calls, transfers and dropped calls. I was given a dispute number and told someone would contact me shortly. Its been XXXX weeks they have not reached out and my new loan interest rate went from XXXX to XXXX Which will probably cost me an additional XXXX or {$10000.00} over XXXX year loan. I dont believe I should be be responsible for the {$99.00} charge as I have never received the credit card after XXXX year of trying. Theyre in inability to solve the problem has been stressful, time-consuming, and has ruined my credit. I am reaching out to you because I dont know where else to turn. I will next reach out to the Better Business Bureau and then the state Attorney General. I run a very successful business, I also invest in real estate and the whole time them telling me not to worry about the {$99.00} and then turning me in for bad credit is just insane to me.

These inaccurate items are in pending litigation due to reporting errors on my report. Because they are in a pending litigation, you will not be able to verify what the disputed errors are and therefore these items need to be deleted under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ).

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

I submitted a claim for XXXX. For 2 transactions. It was a dispute. I gave screenshots and typed up a timeline of evidence. The company also told me they would refund me, but I had to go through XXXX. XXXX was impossible to get through to. I sent multiple emails. The evidence I gave was more than enough to find the dispute in my favor. And I see no harm if the company was willing to issue a chargeback. Please reopen my case and actually review the evidence. The agent I spoke to was also devoid of empathy or solution. I did not receive or use what I purchased and the company agreed to refund. Thanks.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.
