I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Subject : Follow-Up on Credit Reporting Issue Request for Resolution Dear CFPB I hope this message finds you well. 

I am writing to follow up on my previous complaint regarding the incorrect charge-off entry on my credit report associated with XXXX, account number XXXX. As detailed in my earlier communication, the charge-off entry is erroneous and does not accurately reflect the status of my account. 

To recap, the key issues are as follows : XXXX. The charge-off entry is inaccurate because the account was charged off and subsequently sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Despite this, the charge-off entry remains on my credit report. 
XXXX. The collection account associated with this account was ceased by XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>, and should no longer appear on my credit report. 
XXXX. I have provided supporting documentation, including records of the account sale to XXXX XXXX XXXX, cessation records, and a screenshot of the account on my Equifax Credit Report. 

As of today, the erroneous charge-off entry has not been updated or removed from my credit report. This has resulted in ongoing inaccuracies that could negatively impact my creditworthiness. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), accurate reporting is a fundamental right, and it is crucial that my credit report reflects the correct information. 

I kindly request an update on the status of this investigation and the steps being taken to resolve this issue. If additional information or documentation is needed from my end, please let me know, and I will be happy to provide it promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your assistance in ensuring that my credit report accurately reflects the true status of my accounts. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (VA)

I was offered a home equity line of credit from USAA ( account XXXX XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX for {$120000.00} and on XX/XX/XXXX USAA has record in the loan history that I received a detail advance of {$120000.00}, however I have no record of where this detail advance went to or any recollection of where these funds are. I received a detail advance of {$2000.00}, on XX/XX/XXXX of which I paid back on XX/XX/XXXX. I later received a balance advance of {$200.00} dollars on XX/XX/XXXX. Around XXXX, USAA informed me that because of the housing market, my Home Equity Account had a hold on it and I could no longer borrow any money of of it. Since then I have made mostly interest only payments. There is a maturity date of XX/XX/XXXX on this account and there is still a hold on the account. Upon enquiring about the balance due, USAA recommended that I go back and look at my USAA checking account and see if the funds were deposited in that account. When I requested information on the USAA checking account in XX/XX/XXXX, USAA said that they could only go back 7 years. I have requested a review of the account with USAA via case XXXX XXXXXXXX but have not received any information as of this date. This amount of credit ( {$120000.00} ) has never been deposited in any of my checking accounts and I have never spent this amount of money from this home equity line of credit. I need to understand from USAA why I have a balance due of {$110000.00} dollars, and what will occur on the maturity date. The home that I received the home equity line of credit on now has a value of {$700000.00} dollars. The mortgage on this account is with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( account XXXX XXXXXXXX ). I have been a dedicated USAA member for 38 years, and I should receive an explanation of why I have this debt. Again, I have never used this amount of money from this line of credit. My USAA member number is XXXX. I understand that USAA is no longer in the home equity line of credit business. I appreciate your help with resolving this issue with me and USAA Federal Savings Bank. Sincerely XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : The reported late payment was incorrect because I made the payment on time. My records show that the payment was processed successfully on the due date. However, due to an error in the creditors system, the payment was posted late, which led to the inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report. 
Evidence provided : Bank statement showing the payment made on the due date. 
Confirmation email from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX verifying the payment was received on time. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX.

I am writing to dispute the following information in my file, and have noted the relevant disputes. Upon a closer review, I found several accounts and credit inquiries that had been hit by my name aside from those which were unauthorized or unrecognized .... the postings do not seem appropriate to my credit history ; but are incorrect account entries, or are accounts created due to identity theft. Due to the presence of these incorrect items, it has lowered my credit score and affected some personal finance. This has been a major worry as i have wrongful bad credit being attached to my file which in turn is not true history of how i use, spend or manage money.

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

I am writing regarding accounts that have been reported to the credit bureaus by your agency or company under my name and Social Security number. These accounts are currently reflected in my credit report, but I have not received a 1099-C form indicating any cancellation of debt. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pursuant to the regulations set forth by the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) under 26 U.S. Code 6050P, creditors are required to issue a Form 1099-C when {$600.00} or more of debt has been canceled or discharged. Failure to provide this document within a reasonable period constitutes a violation of both federal regulations and reporting accuracy requirements under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.

In accordance with the FCRA, I am requesting validation and verification of the reported debt, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). If your agency has discharged or forgiven any portion of the debt, you are legally obligated to issue the necessary 1099-C form to me and report this accurately to the credit bureaus. If you are unable to provide the necessary documents, including a valid 1099-C, within the required timeline, failure to do so will be treated as a violation of federal law and could be considered fraudulent reporting under 18 U.S.C. 1341.

Please take immediate action to remove the incorrect and unverifiable accounts from all consumer reporting agencies in compliance with the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ). Additionally, I demand that you immediately cease all collection efforts related to these accounts under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq, until proper validation has been provided.

Failure to comply with these requests will leave me with no choice but to pursue all available legal remedies, including reporting this issue to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) for further investigation.

Please respond in writing within 30 days of the receipt of this letter to confirm the removal of the accounts and/or provide the requested 1099-C form.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I am writing to formally dispute the presence of unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and inquiries on my credit report, which I received on [ Date of Credit Report ]. After a careful review, I have identified multiple accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. These entries appear to have been added to my credit report in error or as a result of fraudulent activity.The inclusion of these erroneous items has unfairly impacted my credit score and overall financial standing. This matter is causing significant concern, as my credit history is being unjustly damaged by information that is neither accurate nor reflective of my true financial activities.
