This is hurting my chances at getting a mortgage and caused a lot of financial harm and difficulties for me. I need these fraudulent accounts removed expeditiously.

My account is still open and is still attached to the XXXX XXXX account. due to the matter of how much has come out of my account and the way both banks have handled my case I could have just closed my account and gone somewhere else, upon seeing how far this goes back I can not let this go. I spoke with chase about getting in contact with XXXX XXXX as they told me they would need to talk bank to bank to try and figure out what happened but chase closed my case and decided not to look into the case any farther.

Please be advised that your company continues to report these unverifiable and incomplete items. These accounts can be considered falsified revenue and illegal by the IRS due to the fact these said accounts have been written off as a tax deduction.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Between XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, I have experienced multiple instances of Equifax reporting a different score ; despite providing me with a score of XXXX. Specifically, multiple merchants received a score of slightly over XXXX and most recently XXXX received a score in the XXXX. I believe this is being done in retaliation of me bringing this to the attention of CFPB, XXXX, and reporting on multiple social media sites. I'm tired of dealing with the undue stress, mental anguish, and denial of credit related to their efforts to knowingly, willfully, and maliciously report a low score to cause me harm. The companies involved are willing to provide documentation and be deposed if need be. I'm trying to get this matter addressed at the lowest level and in the most convenient way, however this seems to be impossible. The companies confirmed they do not use modeling.
