This occurred before our bankruptcy was converted, and therefore, should have been written off by Suntrust when the bankruptcy was discharged in XXXX XXXX, in accordance with U.S. Bankruptcy Code XXXX Suntrust refuses to write off the debt and report it correctly XXXX. I have provided proof that we converted the bankruptcy after the debt was incurred, and my lawyer has sent them a letter stating that, under U.S. Bankruptcy Code XXXX XXXX b ), debts existing at the time of filing under Chapter XXXX are eligible for discharge. 

Since XXXX XXXX, I have spoken with Suntrust representatives numerous times. XXXX representative told me that their bankruptcy department did not remove the debt because our original case was filed in XXXX, before the debt was incurred, and that you can not add new debt at the time of conversion, which is false. I have also been told XXXX times that they would update their records and report it correctly to XXXX. I have also been told that they received my documentation, as well as the letter from my lawyer. 

Today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was informed that Suntrust had none of this documentation on file, and that all they could do was send the account back to their bankruptcy department for review for a third time. I have spoken to XXXX more representatives from Suntrust today, XXXX from their recovery department, and XXXX from litigation. The woman from recovery told me that she would send an email to her supervisor who was out sick today, and he would call me back. The woman from litigation noticed that my account had been sent to their bankruptcy department XXXX times now and asked to call me back after she could look into my account further. When she called me back, she said that it has been taken out XXXX. This is the XXXX time in XXXX months that I have been told this, and I am skeptical.

Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

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.
