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 sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

**Update to previously submitted report, I mistakenly put the wrong company. I meant to complain about the CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY & the place where there is a Fraud that took place. *** I recently started to check my Credit reports after a long while of not doing it. I discovered that there was an account on my Credit Report that isn't mine. I think I may have been a victim of false identity and decided to file an ID Theft Report. This is the 2nd time I have filed an ID Theft Report which has went no where and there is no number listed to call them. The Company name where the false account is XXXX XXXX and the amount is for {$21000.00} which was opened up back in 2021. I have reached out to all 3 credit Bureaus to no avail.

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : The payment was reported 15 days late, even though I made the payment on time, and this is documented in my bank statements. 
There were clerical errors where my account was inaccurately flagged as overdue, but I provided evidence that no late payment was made, as shown in the attached payment confirmations. 
The inconsistency of payment dates across credit bureaus further demonstrates the inaccuracy and improper reporting of this account status. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I just checked my credit and found some inaccuracies. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 611 of FCRA you have a responsibility of promptly deleting any information which is inaccurate or incomplete so it doesn't get reported in my report. This is my understanding as well. It's important to note that under the FCRA, even if an account has only been speculated upon or never confirmed in any waythe burden falls on you ( the credit bureau ) to provide evidence of its veracity before it can be placed on my credit report The information in my credit report is wrong. I also have sent out multiple separate disputes and only received stall letters and they are delaying the process below I will attach all documents of disputes I am contesting any information on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate. The data included in my credit report must be validated before it is included on my report. I can not recognize or accept the allegation of delinquency and derogatoriness without factual proof. I challenge the reportability of this allegation, which does not meet federal or state reporting requirements. For any account that is alleged to be delinquent or derogatory, I request evidence that shows why the account is considered to be in that state. This should include proof of a permissible purpose for any inquiry into the account.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

I've been trying to get access to my experian account for that last 5 weeks. I've called several numbers listed on the official website for assistance, all go to their automated system that can't verify my information and refuses to transfer me to a representative to get assistance. Their automated system won't verify my identity or text or call me with the verification code they require to gain access to my account. I've tried several times to reset my password failing each time as their system won't text or call with the code they require.

To Whom It May Concern, Im writing regarding the collection accounts on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I do not recognize these debts and have never authorized them. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically Section 807 ( 8 ), its unlawful for debt collectors to falsely represent any debt. Additionally, I am invoking my rights under Section 809 of the FDCPA, which entitles me to request validation of these alleged debts. You must provide documentation proving that these debts are valid. 

Moreover, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) mandates accurate reporting under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2. This law requires that all consumer reporting agencies maintain accurate information. Given recent data breaches, Im also exercising my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which allows me to block any fraudulent information that might be appearing on my report.

If you can not validate these debts within 30 days, I will insist that these entries be removed from my credit report. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, I am entitled to seek damages of up to {$1000.00} for each violation of the FCRA, should it be determined that you are reporting inaccurate information. This is not just about getting these debts resolved ; its also about ensuring that my rights as a consumer are protected.
