I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction regarding the persistent presence of fraudulent accounts on my credit report. Upon reporting the case of identity theft, I promptly contacted the companies associated with these fraudulent accounts. While they acknowledged the validity of the report, they expressed their inability to provide records. Nevertheless, they assured me that the fraudulent accounts would be promptly removed upon submission of the required FTC report.It is noteworthy that both XXXX and XXXX have already purged these accounts from their records after identifying and correcting an error. I am puzzled by the continuation of verification for these accounts by your bureau when other agencies have already eliminated them. I urge you to expunge these accounts from my file, as they are inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. I insist on immediate action to remove these fraudulent accounts from my credit report, as the companies have acknowledged their fraudulent nature and agreed to their removal. Please delete these fraudulent accounts promptly, as they are the result of identity theft.

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. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

The existence of a derogatory rating on my account is causing me significant concern. I am deeply worried about its potential impact on my credit. It has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts. I want to emphasize the severe financial and emotional distress that this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved.

I did not know that existing banks and creditors can review credit report anytime, even with freeze, to make offers unless you elect " XXXX XXXX ''. I did and offers continue. At least XXXX XXXX calls with people trying to get my zip code especially - no way! I had placed freezes with all reporting bureaus several years ago through premiere XXXX.

XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX call transaction XXXX ) states that they have 5 days to notify me of a freeze lift - I never got a " heads up '' from them. This is so wrong. No one ever explained this to me- apparently legal minimum. Lots of fraud can occur in those 5 days - license to steal. Transunion and XXXX notified me of credit card filing, but not freeze lifting. XXXX is slow to the party on everything. I put a lock on XXXX, but you have to pay extra to do that on XXXX and XXXX. Clearly reporting bureaus are part of the problem. When XXXX and businesses can notify me right away of changes ... what is XXXX 's problem? It does not take 5 days!

My account with XXXX  XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

These false entries have prevented me from purchasing my dream home and adequately supporting my family, severely impacting my financial health.
