I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (WI)

On XX/XX/year> my XXXX XXXX was not working. I looked up the phone number for XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and started to speak to what I thought was a XXXX XXXX representative. He told me he needed to verify me and to go to my phone and add an app so he could walk me through how to log into XXXX XXXX. I ended up creating another XXXX XXXX account. I was back and forth on my phone and the TV while he said he was having trouble verifying me. Eventually he had me go to my wallet as part of the verification saying that he was trying to verify my address. I started to see transactions that were going to my XXXX XXXX  card and immediately being cancelled. Then there were transactions that werent being cancelled. At no time did XXXX XXXX  card notify me that this activity that was clearly out of my typical spending was occurring!!! The dollar amount for these transactions are {$XXXX}!!!! At the same time a {$XXXX} transaction was being attempted on my XXXX XXXX  credit card and I immediately said it wasnt me and the transaction did not go through, my card was cancelled and I was issued a new one. The transactions on the XXXX  card are for XXXX XXXX XXXX. I do not currently or never have had a account with XXXX. One of the representatives from XXXX told me to contact XXXX myself to dispute the charges but could not provide me with a phone number, only their website. When I went onto the website it said I had to log in or create an account with them which I most certainly will not. I have disputed these charges twice now and have repeatedly asked to be connected to the Credit card XXXX office or given the phone number and my request has been denied. I need these charges to be taken off!! My XXXX  and I are on a fixed income, my XXXX   is XXXX and I am XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please help us. The only reason I have this XXXX  card was to finance my XXXX watch with interest free payments. I never used the card other than that.

I have a complaint with this company and would like it reviewed as I feel that they retaliated against me after I filed a complaint. My initial complaint was because of Victoria secret issuing 2 late payments due to their system error and applying a {$2.00} late fee without notifying me. After almost a year they have fixed this issue and in the middle of me filing a consumer complaint they closed my store card causing my credit score to drop XXXX XXXX. Their late payments have already affected me personally and financially now this major drop with my credit score is where I draw the line. I called and asked them why my card was closed they advised me it was due to fraud. I have never placed any fraud alerts on my account I have only frozen my credit score to prevent companies like them for causing unnecessary damage to my credit.

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I am writing to file a complaint against Experian for repeatedly denying my credit disputes based on the use of form letters, despite my efforts to comply with the required procedures for disputing inaccuracies on my credit report. 

I have been submitting dispute letters to Experian to address inaccuracies in my credit report. Each dispute letter is personally signed by me and includes copies of my driver 's license and a utility bill to verify my identity. Despite this, Experian continues to reject my disputes, citing concerns that the requests do not appear to be sent directly by me or authorized by me, due to the use of form letters. 

Experian 's response to my disputes, as detailed in their recent communication, is that if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a national consumer credit reporting company is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the company directly of such dispute, the company shall reinvestigate free of charge. However, they are not adhering to this requirement, as they are dismissing my disputes solely on the basis of the format of my letters. 

This repeated refusal to process my disputes based on the use of form letters, despite providing the necessary documentation and following the prescribed procedure, is preventing me from effectively addressing inaccuracies on my credit report. It seems to me that Experian is unfairly penalizing me for using a form letter, which is a tool I use to ensure my disputes are correctly formatted and include all necessary information.
