I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Im writing you today about a grave issue. My privacy rights are being invaded. Per 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) you have full responsibility to exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Im exercising this right under the code. Please see the following information is handled with the utmost fairness, impartiality and respect for my right to privacy. 

For the record, Im the one whos initiating the disputes under MY NAME. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. According to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) ( a ) Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. 

In your previous correspondence you mentioned that my identity theft report needed to be filed with a law enforcement agency which subjects to criminal prosecution. One of these agencies is the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). FYI the report I was filed online WITH THE FTC which by your representation IS A law enforcement agency. My FTC Report # is XXXX. I dont think you have reviewed the documents submitted & are sending me frivolous boiler plate responses to deflect from your responsibility to comply with FCRA laws. 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 DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I am filing this report to dispute several negative accounts on my credit report that I am unaware of and did not authorize. I believe these accounts have been reported in violation of my rights under federal law, and I am requesting their immediate removal. 

Firstly, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, creditors are required to report accurate information to the credit bureaus. However, these accounts contain inaccuracies and have been reported without my knowledge or consent. As such, the creditors have failed to meet their legal obligations under this statute. 

Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1692g of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) mandates that debt collectors must provide proper validation of a debt upon request, including a complete payment history and proof of my signature on any contractual agreements. I have never received such validation, and I believe that these debts are not mine. As these accounts were not properly validated, any continued reporting is unlawful, and they must be removed. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 6802 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires financial institutions to obtain my explicit consent before sharing my personal financial information with third parties. I never received notice or an opportunity to opt out of such sharing, which has resulted in these unauthorized accounts being reported to the credit bureaus. This constitutes a breach of my privacy rights, and I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately. 

Lastly, under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, if an account is the result of identity theft, it must be blocked from my credit report. Given that I am unaware of these debts and did not authorize them, I believe identity theft may have occurred, and I request the removal of these accounts. 

In light of these violations, I respectfully request that these accounts be removed from my credit report immediately. Please provide verification of my signature on these accounts, or delete them in accordance with the laws mentioned above.
