Credit reporting agencies have been submitting false information entirely. As of XX/XX/2024, I noticed discrepancies throughout my report. Inaccurate reported has been posted to my account. As I scroll through each account, there are plenty inaccuracies that can not possibly be considered me, such as : address, account balance, phone numbers, and some reports are blank. 

Some of these accounts have been reported in the past, but I never took the time to actually get a copy of my credit report. Documentation such as debt verification and validations have all been mailed through certified mail with a return to sender receipt and nothing has yet to be removed. 

Imaging seeing opportunities that you are ineligible for due to inaccurate documentation. I deserve better, but instead inquiries can pile up if you ever need assistance. Imagine having accounts proven not belonging to you or being inaccurate ; it starts a XXXX and paying debts not needed.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (LA)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 
The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

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.

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally notify you that my identity has been stolen, and despite taking the necessary steps to address the issue, no resolution has been reached after more than 30 days. I have taken the following actions to rectify the situation : I have contacted all three major credit bureaus ( Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX ) to report the identity theft and requested that they take immediate corrective action on my credit report. 
I have filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and created an Identity Theft Report through the FTC 's identity theft process. 
Despite these steps, the fraudulent information remains on my credit reports, and no resolution has been provided. It has now been over 30 days since I initially reported the identity theft, and I am seeking your assistance to expedite the deletion of all fraudulent accounts and information from my credit file. 

Please take immediate action to ensure that my rights as a consumer are protected, and that my credit report reflects accurate information. 

Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.

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.

I was a victim of Identity Theft. Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605b ( a ) ( 2 ) you are required to remove any accounts opened without my knowledge, consent, or authority.

Also in addition to Section 1681c-2 ( a ) you are required to block any information in the file that I have identified that resulted from identity theft. I have provided documents that can prove it.

By the way I hope that this does not hinder my ability to obtain Insurance due to this inaccurate information reporting. 
I was advised by a legal friend of mine that under 15 US Code 1681a section 603 ( k ) ( b ) ( i ) can be considered an adverse action. Therefore I want the following accounts to be updated to the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity and time.
