A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

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. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 


Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

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.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

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.

Issue: Delinquent account — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (MA)

Opened a Macy 's credit card to get the 20 % discount - I have an XXXX credit score, so was not concerned with a hard check no my credit. As intended, I paid the outstanding balance in full immediately upon receiving the first bill. I checked my credit report, randomly, a few months later and noticed they had reported at 60 day overdue balance of {$18.00}. When I called, they informed me this was interest charge ... interesting how interest can accrue on {$0.00}. When I let them know this was fraud, they immediately back tracked and did everything necessary to remove the charges, report the correct info to the credit agency and close the card ( as they were previously instructed ). They also proceeded to say they had the wrong address on file - also very interesting bc the first bill had no problem finding its way to me when they wanted to get paid the initial balance. 

If you have a retail card from Macy 's - review your statement carefully ... likely interest and late fees on their that are fraudulent.

Regarding my BARCLAYS JET BLUE CREDIT CARD ENDING in XXXX. I requested closing this account on line and told them specifically not to charge me an annual fee. 
They recently sent me a letter stating that my account was delinquent for the sum of {$40.00} which was the annual fee. They then sent me a letter stating that my credit score was lowered to XXXX points for this delinquent amount. My credit score was previously in the upper XXXX. I contacted the credit card company and they said that I could only close the account by speaking to them and therefore the account was still open. Therefore I was delinquent by {$40.00}. 
This is unfair in that they never contacted my regarding this policy. I went on line and personally demanded that they close the account. Now they have tarnished my credit score and that I need to appeal.
