I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed inaccuracies in the reporting of an account with the same bank. It incorrectly shows a late payment for XX/XX/year> on XXXX accounts, which were actually paid on time. 

Consumer reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of all reported information. This account has never had late payments, as evidenced by the attached report. 

I request a thorough investigation into this matter and verifiable proof showing that these payments were late. If this can not be verified, I demand that the records be updated to reflect the on-time payments immediately. 

Thank you for your prompt attention and understanding.

I am filing this complaint regarding inaccurate and unauthorized collections being reported on my credit report by XXXX. I have previously requested that the debt collectors reporting these accounts cease communication with me under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ), which states that debt collectors must stop all forms of communication after a cease and desist request.

Despite this, these debt collectors are still reporting the accounts to the credit bureau, which constitutes a form of communication that directly impacts my credit score and financial standing. This reporting violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) because the information is inaccurate and continues to be reported even after my dispute.

I am a victim of identity-theft. I am writing to request that you block all the following fraudulent accounts in my files with XXXX, XXXX, and Experian. This information does not relate to any transactions I made. I did not authorize anyone to use my personal information. I hereby exercise my legal rights enacted by The Federal Trade Commission, which explicitly states when a victim files an affidavit it shall beg honored by all credit bureaus and all fraudulent information must be blocked within 4 days and proper notification shall be given to all furnishers pursuant to section 605b of The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. Failure to comply shall lead to complaints being filed with The XXXX XXXX XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and Attorney General with legal action of your companys unlawful collection practices, misrepresentation of reporting inaccurate debts, and noncompliance to adhere to laws enacted to help those who are victims of identity-theft. I request that an extended fraud alert be placed in my file explaining that fraudulent applications may be submitted in my name. Do not extend credit without first contacting me personally and verifying all applications.

I attempted to file a dispute online but was blocked by the system. 
I am attaching proof of four inaccurate accounts from pages 3 and 4 of the XX/XX/2023 Experian report XXXX belonging to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is not me. I am submitting a copy of the first page of my XXXX  utility bill due XX/XX/2023 showing that my name is XXXX XXXX and NOT XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I will start with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I will file a separate complaint for the other three invalid accounts. On page four of the attached Experian report XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the payment history shows okay for XX/XX/2023 with an amount paid of {$130.00}. The payment history also shows as okay for XX/XX/2023 but with no data for amount paid. This makes no sense. 

This account was never properly verified and I need to know the names and phone numbers of the persons from both the credit bureau and the bank/ financial institution . I never received a true/certified copy of the original application for credit showing the wet ink signatures authorizing and binding myself and the financial institution ( s ). I have no records of signing with my wet signature to authorize the account. 
I never received the true invoices signed under penalty of perjury confirming that the XXXX XXXX XXXX  provided their own assets and that the alleged debts are valid. According to 12 USC 83 banks are prohibited from loaning their own assets i.e. shares of stock.

Finally, I never received the accounting statements from the financial institution related to the account i.e. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. 
On top of that various laws have been violated. For example, as per 15 USC 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written consent. I never provided my written consent/ instructions. According to 15 USC 1681 c. ( a ) ( 5 ) no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following pieces of information any other adverse items of information other than records of convictions of crime which antedates the report by more than seven years.

According to 15 USC 1681 s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 
As a result, this invalid/ inaccurate XXXX account must be deleted INSTANTLY from all of the credit bureaus. Thank you for your cooperation.

I am writing to file a complaint against XXXX XXXX  and Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion for violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, these entities have breached the following federal laws : 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) : Unauthorized access to my credit report. 15 USC 1681s-2 : Furnishing inaccurate information and failing to correct and update information. 15 USC 1681b ( 3 ) : Improper use of consumer reports for adverse actions without proper notification. 15 USC 1681a ( d ) 2 ( A ) ( i ) : Consumer reports do not include information solely about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. Late payments and utilizations are considered transactions and experiences and should be deleted. Additionally, charge-off accounts should be excluded from my consumer report pursuant to IRS rules and guidelines, as they are considered ordinary income and income is not reported on consumer reports. These violations have negatively impacted my creditworthiness and financial stability. I urge the CFPB to investigate these infractions and ensure compliance with federal laws to protect consumers like myself. Additionally, credit scoring models like FICO and XXXX are proprietary tools and algorithms used by lenders to assess creditworthiness and determine credit terms, but they are not factors outlined in the consumer report or governed by federal consumer protection laws, which take precedence over individual bank guidelines. I rely on the CFPB to enforce federal consumer protection laws and regulations ensuring the credit reporting practices, including those used by lenders adhere to established guidelines and do not override the protections afforded to consumers under federal law.

The credit bureau has not provided adequate verification or a satisfactory explanation for the continued presence of the fraudulent bankruptcy entry.

My personal data has been improperly used, impacting my financial standing.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

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.
