XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX NY XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Iowa XXXX Subject : Request for Immediate Action on Identity Theft Related Credit Report Disputes Pursuant to FCRA 605B Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to bring to your attention a critical matter regarding identity theft and the inaccurate information on my credit report maintained by XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. 
Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), I have formally requested that all negative information resulting from the identity theft be blocked or deleted from my credit report.

I have submitted detailed information to all three major credit bureaus outlining the accounts that are inaccurately reporting due to identity theft. I have also provided the necessary documentation, including the police report complaint documentation number, as evidence of the identity theft incident. 

It is imperative that the credit bureaus conduct a thorough investigation and take swift action to rectify this situation. 

As per the law outlined in FCRA XXXX, I am requesting that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax block or delete the fraudulent accounts from my credit report within 4 days.

The burden of proof lies with the credit bureaus to verify and correct this information, as I am diligently working to restore my life and financial well-being following this egregious theft of my identity.

I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene and ensure that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax comply with the legal requirements set forth under FCRA 605B.

It is crucial that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and that the negative impact of this identity theft is promptly addressed. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further information is required. 

Thank you for your assistance in this urgent matter.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Company: Webcollex, LLC (TX)

On XX/XX/2019 I spoke with the collection agency CKS financial. We had agreed that if I paid the account in full, the account would be deleted from all 3 of the credit agencies. I have attached a recording of myself and a representative/manager for CKS financial agreeing to submit the removal of the account. I am 35 days from closing my home and this is really hindering my ability to move forward. The only reason I agreed to pay it all in full was because they agreed to have it removed. As a pay per deletion agreement. It's pointless to have the account just reporting as Paid in full and still remains in my credit file. Please listen to the recorded file I have attached where manager agrees to remove the account. 
I have also Attached a receipt where the account was paid.

Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (IL)

Today, I learned about an unlawful policy that was put in place by PayPal. This policy calls for PayPal to place and maintain a hold on the transfer of funds ( from the buyer of a product to the seller of a product ), even when both parties agree that no additional performance is due and that the funds in escrow should be released. This policy is a clear breach of fiduciary duty by PayPal and can not be excused as a reasonable impairment of a sellers right to access their funds : especially if the parties agree that delivery has been made and that the buyer is happy with the good/service that was provided by the seller in exchange for valuable consideration ( i.e. the money that was put in escrow by the buyer to be turned over to the seller upon delivery ). The unreasonableness of maintaining a funds transfer hold in such situations has been explained to PayPal via telephone and email by this complainant. Please investigate, and sanction, PayPal for a willful breach of their bailment contract with sellers, a willful breach of their bailment contract with the buyer, their trespass to sellers XXXX & XXXX.
