Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

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.

Every time I make a payment on my Lowes Credit card ( Synchrony Bank ), the payment wholly applies to my special apr rate, not what I have just purchased ( which has a much higher rate ). I am able to call and have the payment reallocated, but you have to pay close attention to statements and call after every payment. The payment portal doesnt give an option as to how to apply the payment, and it defaults to what will cost the consumer the most in interest.

On XX/XX/2019 I told Paypal to send {$780.00} to my XXXX account from my XXXX account. However, I was charged {$850.00} for the transaction by the bank because my account is in USD and not PLN ( even though I was sending USD to USD ). After noticing this I contacted PayPal from my XXXX account to refund the {$780.00} that was originally sent. Today when I viewed my account it shows {$770.00} was returned out of the {$850.00} that was originally charged. When I spoke to my bank, they stated that the merchant did not process the transaction correctly and therefore the refund was processed as a credit verses a refund. PayPal need to Refund my account under the same transaction ID the payment was made in order for me to get all of my money back. Or at least take responsibility for processing the refund incorrectly and give me the {$80.00} I am missing from my account.

" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''

Last year, I discovered that a XXXX credit card account had been opened in my name without my knowledge or consent. 
I did not apply for or authorize this account, and I believe this is a case of identity theft. I immediately filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), documenting the identity theft and providing all necessary details. 
I contacted XXXXXXXX XXXX  fraud department to report the unauthorized account and requested an investigation.Despite my detailed report and the FTC filing, XXXX concluded that the case was not identity theft. 
This conclusion is incorrect, as I did not open or authorize this account. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), once a creditor receives an Identity Theft Report, they are legally required to remove the fraudulent information from the consumer 's credit report. The FCRA mandates that companies must block the reporting of information resulting from identity theft. 
My FTC Identity Theft Report constitutes a valid Identity Theft Report under the FCRA, and XXXX is legally obligated to remove the unauthorized account from my credit report.

On XX/XX/year> I prepared and mailed off letters to the XXXX major consumer reporting agencies Equifax, XXXX and XXXX below is a copy of the letter : I am writing to formally request the deletion of a bankruptcy entry from my consumer report. This request is made pursuant to the provisions of the United States Code ( USC ), specifically those relating to permissible purposes of consumer reports and the handling of information resulting from identity theft.

Details of the Request According to 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are only allowed to furnish a consumer report under specific circumstances, including receiving written instructions from the consumer to whom the report relates. Additionally, 15 USC 1681q stipulates penalties for obtaining consumer information under false pretenses.

Legal References 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) : This section outlines the permissible purposes for obtaining a consumer report, one of which includes obtaining written instructions from the consumer.

15 USC 1681q : This section details the penalties for obtaining consumer information under false pretenses, which can include fines and imprisonment.

18 USC 1028A : Defines aggravated identity theft, stating that using someone else 's identification without lawful authority is punishable by additional penalties.

15 USC 1681c-2 : Requires consumer reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft within four business days after receiving notification from the consumer.

Request for Action Given the provisions outlined above, I request that the bankruptcy entry on my consumer report be deleted. The entry was not authorized by me, and therefore, the information was obtained and used without my lawful consent. 
Please confirm receipt of this request and provide a timeline for when the bankruptcy entry will be deleted from my consumer report.
