I am writing to express my profound disappointment, anger, and disbelief regarding your handling of the fraudulent accounts that has appeared on my credit report. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this issue and my diligent submission of all required documentation, including the FTC Identity Theft Report, these fraudulent accounts remains unresolved, and my credit report continues to reflect inaccuracies that are severely impacting my financial standing and peace of mind. 

I brought this fraudulent account to your attention because I was assured that an investigation would be conducted, and the accounts would be removed if found to be fraudulent. Since then, I have written multiple letters and provided all necessary documents, including : A detailed explanation of the fraudulent accounts. 
The completed FTC Identity Theft Report. 
Copies of my identification documents. 
Any additional information requested by your office. 

Despite my compliance and the clear evidence presented, I am deeply frustrated to find that my efforts have been in vain. The accounts in question remain on my credit report, and I have not received any satisfactory resolution or clear communication regarding the status of your investigation. 

It is disheartening to experience such neglect and lack of responsiveness from an institution that plays a crucial role in safeguarding consumer financial information. The continued presence of these fraudulent accounts are not only unjust but also a severe breach of my rights as a consumer. I expect prompt and decisive action to rectify this situation.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts.

Payment of {$48.00} due XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Attempted to pay, while out of town assisting XXXX person whose spouse was in the hospital & had to stay until TuesdayXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, due to the hospitalized spouse 's delayed release. Called the Synchrony Bank number to attempt payment on the due date ( Monday, XX/XX/XXXX ), but system required bank routing & account numbers, which I did not have because I did not bring my checkbook on the trip. I called the payment in on Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX around noon ( thus meaning it was approximately 18 hours late, at most. I called Synchrony Bank to request a waiver of the fee, and was told because I had already had a waiver within the last 12 months, the late fee could not be waived. I followed this up with a letter dated XX/XX/ to Synchrony Bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX ). My dispute is/ was not about paying a reasonable late fee, but the amount of {$41.00} ( which equates to slightly more than 85 %!!! of the {$48.00} monthly installment. In the letter, I cited the ludicrousness of the amount of the late fee in relation to the monthly installment, told them if they did not adjust the late fee to a reasonable amount ( 5 %, {$5.00}, or? ), I would never do business with Rooms to Go again, or any other retailer associated with Synchrony Bank, and if they did not satisfactorily adjust the late fee, I would file a complaint ( with CFPB ). I received a letter dated XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( from the bank 's Customer Service Department ) citing my account history & in the interest of good customer relations, that they were crediting my account for the {$41.00}. However, their XXXX UT based collection " arm, affiliate '' or whatever, has been calling me daily in the range of XXXX to XXXXXXXX XXXX I returned the call today and cited the 5-17 bank letter. The representative stated that because I didn't pay the {$89.00} total by XX/XX/XXXX ( I paid the regular {$48.00} ), that the {$41.00} amount remains, and is due by XX/XX/XXXX. Essentially, this makes ZERO sense, because their system is strictly geared to dates and algorithms, thus creating a self-perpetuating, and now erroneous late fee of {$41.00}. PLEASE RECOGNIZE AND / OR EXPLAIN THIS TO THE APPROPRIATE PARTY / DEPARTMENT ( S ) WITHIN SYNCHRONY BANK. I will be paying JUST the regular {$48.00} payment on or before XXXX XXXX XXXX and ensuing payments by the XXXX of each month.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA, you are required by law to remove & block any items that are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

I originally disputed the inaccurate and unverifiable accounts on my credit report on XX/XX/year>. The items were verified as accurate with no proof as I had requested the documentation proving the alleged account had belonged to me. The company failed to provide them. I am currently in the process of applying for a mortgage and these unfavorable inaccurate are hindering me from an approval. In addition I have disputed directly with the creditors who are reporting this inaccurate information on my credit reports and they have not responded to my disputes either.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

I am completely baffled and puzzled about this situation. I have no idea what is going on over there at the CFPB. I have submitted the same complaints three times already, and you claim Im not the one submitting it. This is so absurd! So Im submitting it again and hopefully you are going to take steps this time. Experian has not been act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I submitted a complaint/dispute about the information listed below. I was the victim of identity theft & the accounts listed below were opened fraudulently & without my knowledge, consent or authority. I provided them with documents which demonstrated this legal issue but they have ignored these documents. They claim they verified the accounts without providing me with any legal documents, contracts or verifiable proof they were opened by me. They are not adhering to section 605b by blocking or removing them from my report. Additionally they are violating sections 616 & 617 for willful noncompliance & negligence. I need these accounts blocked/removed from my credit file per FCRA. The accounts are as follows - XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I am so puzzled about this situation. I have no idea what is going on over EQUIFAX. It's just creating additional emotional & physical distress on my part. I have a loan with the accounts below. The current status should not be showing late because I paid it on time. EQUIFAX Credit Reporting Agency lacks proper record keeping. The account is closed and when I requested records to prove theyre reporting is erroneously they have failed to provide me with any evidence.. Lets correct this immediately. The Bureau is required to verify for them, but they failed to neither verify nor update me about these complaints. Provide documentation that the Bureau has not abrogated my rights by reporting false information, otherwise remove these accounts immediately.
