This is one of my multiple attempts to notify credit bureaus that I am a victim of identity theft and that I want to query certain records in my documents that resulted from the crime. The documents I'm looking at have nothing to do with any transactions involving goods, services, or money that I've made or approved. Assuming no one cares, remove any material in my credit report that was obtained through alleged fraud or extortion.

Original Complaint XX/XX/XXXX XXXX I purchased a car from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. The loan was financed through Auto Advantage Finance. I have contacted the financing company several times over the phone. I have been to their private customer service center in person and spoke face to face with account mgmt supervisor. I have followed their instructions for reporting issues and getting resolution by making a complaint online with their customer service department. They continue to tell me to contact XXXX and XXXX to make a dispute. I have done that as well and they told me that there is nothing that can be done about disputing an account that they have not received from the financing company. It has been 10 months and I have not been able to get any resolution. 


Company 's Response XX/XX/XXXX Re : Consumer : XXXX XXXX XXXX : Auto Advantage Finance Complaint : CFPB XXXX Regarding the above-reference consumer complaint filed by XXXX XXXX, Auto Advantage Finance respectfully responds as follows : Auto Advantage Finance has submitted an updated credit file in XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX and XXXX.

Update To XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has done absolutely nothing to resolve my issue. I contacted XXXX and XXXX.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.
