I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding the handling of my credit report by the credit bureaus. Despite their assertions of conducting a thorough investigation into reported inaccuracies, it has come to my attention that such investigation was not carried out effectively. 

Upon thorough review and investigation of the supporting documents provided, including an identity theft report and attached police report, it has become evident that certain accounts have been inaccurately attributed to me. As per my rights under the law, specifically 15 USC Section 602 A, I request immediate action to rectify this situation. This law also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

The following accounts, which I believe to be the result of identity theft, must be promptly removed from my credit report : 1. XXXX XXXX - Account ending in XXXX 2. XXXX XXXX 3. XXXX XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX, XXXX 4. Affirm - Account under reference XXXX  I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene in this matter and ensure that the credit bureaus conduct a thorough and proper investigation in line with the law. Your prompt attention to this issue and assistance in resolving it would be greatly appreciated.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 
The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
