I'm submitting a complaint and demanding that the Credit Reporting Agencies delete the fraudulent accounts and information from my Credit File. How many times do I have to tell the Credit Bureaus that I was a victim of identity theft and that the accounts I'm disputing were the result of this crime? I've repeatedly asked the Credit Bureaus to remove the disputed items, correct my Credit File, and provide me with copies of proof of verification. However, the Credit Bureaus have repeatedly disappointed me and failed to provide the requested documents. Despite sending dispute letters with complete proof of identity and the Identity Theft Report I received from the FTC, the Credit Bureaus have done nothing. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 605b, it is the responsibility of the credit bureaus to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. These fraudulent items are clearly inaccurate and are negatively impacting my creditworthiness.Kindly help me remove the following items immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

I recently discovered that my creditor failed to provide the required XXXX notice before the payment due date, along with the statement that outlines my balance and due amount. This notice period is critical because it ensures that I have adequate time to review my statement, arrange for payment, and avoid any late fees. 

Due to this oversight, I was not given sufficient time to make my payment on time. As a result, the creditor charged me late fees, and it now appears as though I did not pay my bill when, in fact, I was not given the opportunity to do so within the proper timeframe. This situation arose due to the creditor 's failure to follow the proper notification procedures, and it is their mistake that has caused this issue. 

I expect that, given this error, the creditor will rectify the situation by waiving any associated late fees and adjusting my payment record to reflect that this delay was due to their non-compliance with the XXXX notice requirement, not my negligence.

My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported in to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a credito

XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I was then assured that the account would be updated that i was making payments as agreed and as long as i was in the hardship program i gain any interest on the account as long as i was in the program. then a payment of {$86.00} XXXX and then a payment of {$96.00} in XX/XX/XXXX and the XX/XX/XXXX a payment of XXXX so then i get a copy of my credit report to only find out that they are reporting the account as closed and also They were reporting it as past due.

I wrote to request that items that are unknown to me be removed. I just learned about this law today. Per FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), you have four business days to remove or prohibit any content or objects. This is something I already mentioned in my prior complaint, and I'm mentioning it here once more.

The reporting company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, is violating my rights under HIPPA Law for account # XXXX. I have reached out to them via mail ( see attached ) requesting information regarding the collection. I have not received a response from them with the requested information and it has been 30 days. That is grounds for removal for the reporting company and medical center reporting personal information without my approval. Witholding the information they received from any medical provider in an attempt to be HIPAA compliant is a violation of the FDCPA because they are deceiving me after my written request.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice 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 Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX  data breach.

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.
