I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Despite my multiple attempts, the situation remains unresolved. I believe it is essential to provide an overview of the numerous attempts I have made : I first discovered the fraudulent items on my account and promptly contacted your customer service department. I clearly explained the situation and submitted the required documentation. I was assured that the issue would be resolved. To my dismay, I had still not received any updates or resolutions. I trust that your organization takes issues of fraud and customer satisfaction seriously, and I am hopeful that this matter will be resolved promptly and to my satisfaction. If this issue is not resolved within the exact timeframe, I will have no choice but to seek legal counsel and report the matter to the appropriate regulatory bodies. The lack of resolution has taken a severe toll on my financial and emotional well-being.

I am writing once more to express my perplexity regarding your credit bureau 's handling of the investigation into the fraudulent accounts on my credit report. 

As you are aware, I have submitted the required FTC report to the Federal Trade Commission regarding this fraudulent accounts, and following this submission, XXXX and XXXX have removed these accounts from their records. 
I have also directly contacted the company associated with these accounts, and they have confirmed the removal of the accounts. Therefore, I am puzzled as to why these accounts are still being reported by your bureau. 

It is imperative to recognize that as a credit bureau, you are legally mandated to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of your records. Failing to remove these fraudulent accounts not only violates this obligation but also exposes me to further harm.

I called the customet service and was told that it was Equifax policy to keep items they deemed " positive '' on the credit report for 10years. I told them I would dispute because the regulation said 7 years regardless positive or negative.

**Subject : ** Dispute Request for Refund of {$680.00} I am writing to formally dispute a transaction and request a refund of {$680.00} for an item I purchased via XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year>. The item was shipped from XXXX, and I was informed by the seller that there would be delays due to the holidays. After waiting the recommended XXXX days, and maintaining consistent communication with the seller, the item still had not arrived. I contacted the seller again, who confirmed that the item had not been able to be located, and an investigation with customs had to be open. The seller agreed to issue a refund but was unable to do so directly due to XXXX 's XXXX refund policy via the web. Consequently, I was advised by XXXX to dispute the charge with my bank. I submitted all supporting documentation to Citizens Bank, including the sellers willingness to refund the amount. However, my refund request has been delayed and I have not yet received the funds. This situation mirrors a previous issue I had with Citizens Bank regarding an ATM deposit, where the bank initially denied my request despite evidence of an ATM malfunction. I believe the handling of these disputes has been unfair and reflects a concerning pattern of delayed refunds, which negatively impacts me as a customer. I request that Citizens Bank promptly issue my refund of {$680.00}. I have provided all necessary documentation and evidence to support my claim. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and hope it can be resolved quickly.

In XXXX, I setttled a debt via 1099-c. I paid a portion and the remainder of debt was forgiven via a cancellation of the debt and reported as income to the IRS. This triggered a taxable event and was reported as income on my tax return. However, the lender, credit furnishers and credit reporting agencies are still reporting the trade-line incorrectly on my credit report as a charge-off despite my escalation of complaints, documentation and references to laws and statues. The trade line should be DELETED IMMEDIATELY. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( reference 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) 2 ( a ) ( i ) ) prohibits this misrepresentation and inaccurate reporting. Debt cancellation is when a lender agrees to relieve you of your obligation to repay your debt and IT SHOULD NOT BE appearing as a charge off. 1099-C form from a company if they cancel your debt, which is considered income for the consumer. After filing the 1099-C with the IRS, and owing taxes on the canceled amount it should then DELETED from the consumer credit report.
