I appreciate you making the effort to update and repair some of the data on my credit report, but there are still accounts that need to be fixed. The 3 Credit Bureaus must verify these accounts in accordance with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). I'm hoping that these disputed accounts will be fixed as soon as possible.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

Good evening, I'm writing to you because Experian is breaking the FCRA laws. 
I was a victim of Identity Theft and I have shown them an overwhelming amount of evidence to prove that these accounts were not opened by me. 
They always say something different or give me the run around. 
They deny my block of Reporting Identity Theft accounts because they claim to have verified the information with the furnisher but haven't sent me a detailed description of their procedures which breaks FCRA 611 - 15 U.S.C. 1681i. 
These accounts were the only thing holding me back from obtaining a loan to save myself eviction. 
There are so many violations and it just isn't fair! 
I should get some type of compensation for this because Experian clearly is just getting away with too much. 
Please make sure you deal with them promplty. I have attached my recent letter to Experian asking for proof and even discrediting their investigation and still they deny it. 
Please help me. Thank you.

I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.

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.

I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. These accounts were taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, these accounts shouldn't be in my report. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the Equifax credit reporting agency , block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint.
