Subject : Re : Dispute Results- Unauthorized Inquiries on Credit Report** Dear Equifax XXXX I am writing in response to the recent results of my dispute regarding unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. I appreciate your prompt attention to my concerns. However, I must express my dissatisfaction with the outcome as the disputed inquiries remain on my report. 
In my initial letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed the following unauthorized inquiries : 1. **XXXX - XXXX XXXX** - Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX - Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX As per the United States Code Law 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) ( i ) ( 3 ), these inquiries were not initiated by me, and I requested that they be removed unless you could provide documentation of my written consent authorizing these inquiries.

Your investigation concluded that these inquiries are factual records of file access and will remain on my Equifax credit file for two years from the reported date of the inquiry.

Unfortunately, you have not provided any evidence of my written consent, including my signature, authorizing these inquiries. Without this evidence, these inquiries should be considered unauthorized and must be removed from my credit report.

I request a re-investigation of this matter and the removal of the unauthorized inquiries listed above. Please provide me with documentation of my written consent if you believe these inquiries are legitimate. If you can not provide this documentation, I expect these inquiries to be removed immediately.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX SSN : XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX.

My accounts 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 to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

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!

It is my sworn statement that the below listed account is not mine and needs to be marked for identity theft and deleted immediately as I did not originate this account. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681c-2 please delete this fraudulent account. US DEPT ED XXXX SEE ATTACHED IDENTITY THEFT REPORT. 

That fact that this account was verified is ridiculous and your agency may be setting itself up for a lawsuit. This is a fraudulent account that I never created. According to the FCRA, more specifically 15 USC 1681i, a REAL re-investigation must be performed immediately and this needs to be deleted.

I would like to address my recent review of the credit report obtained from your bureau. Upon careful examination, I noticed reported late payments on my accounts, which I dispute as incorrect information. 

I have taken the necessary steps to investigate and identify any delayed payments. I am pleased to inform you that other credit bureaus have already removed these late payments from their records. I am concerned about the discrepancy in reporting between your bureau and the others.

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.

I recently reviewed my report and noticed an account that was not reporting accurately. There are XXXX inaccuracies showing on my report that should report as current due to protection under the CARES ACT. 

The CARES Act protections require creditors to follow these guidelines for all agreements made between XX/XX/XXXX, through either XX/XX/XXXX ( 120 days after XX/XX/XXXX, when the law was enacted ), or 120 days from the date the XXXX national emergency is declared over. 

According to Sec. 4021 of the CARES ACT If a furnisher of credit information provides an accommodation to a consumer affected by the XXXX outbreak, and the consumer complies with the terms of the accommodation, the creditor generally must report the account as current. 

An " accommodation '' could be an agreement to make partial payment, to put a loan in forbearance, to modify a loan or to offer any other relief. 

A modification and agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX was made on XX/XX/XXXX ( attached in documents ) and the account has been current/good standing since XX/XX/XXXX. 

The CARES ACT states If yourloan is considered delinquent ( past due ) when you make an agreement with your creditor, your status will continue to show as delinquent until you bring the account back into good standing. Once you bring the account current, the creditor must report your status as current to the credit bureaus. 

I am requesting you investigate the following accounts and the following payments ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ) be updated to CURRENT/PAID ON TIME.

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.

On XX/XX/23 I lost my wallet, which had my debit card in it. I immediately went to PNC Bank to shut down the debit card and get a new one. I was told the old card was shut down and I would be credited for the {$980.00} purchase that had been made at a nearby XXXX store that day. 
The card was NOT shut down for another 2 weeks, and even tho I reported my wallet lost PNC chose to ignore that and insisted that the card was in my possession at the time of the purchase. They refused to give me back my money, without doing any investigation whatsoever. I still don't have that money, and it's been nearly 2 months.
