XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Experian, A couple of days ago I was shown a version of my credit file and saw several mistakes. I believe that these items are adversely affecting my credit scores and costing me XXXX of dollars in interest every year. 
Here are the accounts that I want verified as accurate : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX. XXXX - XXXX I am sure you are aware that the provisions of Section 611 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act of XXXX are clear, I want these items to be cleared from all current and future credit reports.

I would also appreciate if you would please forward me the contact info of any individuals and/or organizations you spoke to so I can follow up with them directly. 
I am certain that 30 days is enough time for your company to conduct the i investigation of these items. 
If I am correct on Section 611 ( a ), it is understood that a failure to investigate these entries within a reasonable timeframe gives a reason to permanently drop these items from my credit record.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries.

In XX/XX/XXXX, I visited XXXX  XXXX in XXXX, GA, I don't recall the reason for the visit. It must have been 6 or more months later, I got call from someone by the name of XXXX, who I imagine is in charge of payments, telling me my account is in collection and then hung up. It was impossible to reach her therefore being suspicious of that I stopped by the clinic to see what that was about, to my surprise I owed money to the clinic which I should not have because I had insurance. The clinic failed to send the bill over to my insurance. I asked for the full balance in order to pay and effectively have this removed from collections and no longer affecting my credit report. I paid {$220.00} and was confirmed that it would be removed from my report. I left things at that, thinking that I resolved this debt. 
Years later, on XX/XX/XXXX I applied for a XXXX  credit card, and lucky me XXXX uses XXXX  as their credit bureau or I would've taken longer to find this out. I came to find out that this debt that I previously had was not registered as paid off. The reason for the credit card decline was COLLECTIONS, therefore here I am attempting to get this removed.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the XXXX, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than XXXX days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me.

" 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : XXXX XXXX  - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX "

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.

After placing forth a dispute with Experian, I have waited for a response to the dispute which list the fraudulent credit accounts and to no avail. As a victim of Identity theft Experian is bound by the Fair Credit Reporting act to review and assist me in holding information furnishers accountable for not procedurally guarding my information and allowing thieves to benefit off of accounts I did not authorize.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date 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. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach.

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.
