Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

I disputed an old invalid charge originally from XXXX XXXX, charged incorrectly. XXXX took it over for collection, stating it was a XXXX charge. The original charge is over seven years old and should be removed from the report. It was invalid to begin with, now XXXX came back and confirmed it. They are wrong and reporting incorrect date of original bill and no proof that it is a valid charge. Dont understand why credit bureau does not require documentation of the original charge and explain why they would continue to charge an invalid amount.

The following account XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX was charged off as of XXXX XXXX Since the the account has repeatedly been updated as charged off every month. This is an update in the payment history which to my understanding charged off accounts should NOT include an active payment history.

Which due to the nature of falsely reporting every month as a late payment or past due this account should be removed from my credit report.

I called Citibank customer service line XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX respectively. The customer service told me I would receive written responses back in 7 to 10 business days, but I still didn't hear any responses back from Citibank which made me very disappointed as a customer for almost 20 years. 

The matter is still not resolved, and every time I called the customer service line, they provided me a different answers. Sometime, they asked me to call the other phone number. Sometimes, they asked me to go to the branch, and sometimes, they asked me to wait.

Re : Request for Removal of Unauthorized Inquiries and Account from Credit Report Dear EQUIFAX Consumer Assistance, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter concerning unauthorized inquiries and the addition of an unauthorized account on my credit report. This breach of privacy has raised significant concerns regarding identity fraud and the violation of my rights under both Texas state laws and federal regulations. 

It has come to my attention that certain creditors have accessed my non-personal information without my consent. This blatant breach of privacy is not only unethical but may also constitute identity fraud, a matter of utmost concern. I am particularly troubled by the unauthorized addition of an account to my credit report, an action I did not authorize. 

Even in situations where a permissible purpose exists, it is essential to emphasize that the consent of the consumer is still required. I want to make it unequivocally clear that I did not provide consent for the creditors in question to access my personal information or add an account to my credit report. This violation of my privacy rights is unacceptable, and I demand immediate corrective action. 

To address this issue effectively, I kindly request the removal of all unauthorized inquiries and the associated account from my credit report. I believe that taking prompt action to rectify this situation is crucial not only for my financial well-being but also for upholding the principles of privacy and consumer protection. 

In accordance with Texas state laws, I would like to draw your attention to the following codes that pertain to the protection of consumer rights : Texas Finance Code, Title 3, Subtitle B, Chapter 392 Consumer Credit Commissioner Texas Business and Commerce Code, Title 1, Subtitle C, Chapter 35 Fraudulent Transfers Additionally, I urge you to consider the federal laws that support my case : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681m I expect that EQUIFAX, as a reputable credit bureau, will take swift and decisive action to rectify this breach of privacy. Your cooperation in this matter is crucial to maintaining the integrity of consumer credit reporting and protecting the rights of individuals. 

I anticipate a thorough investigation into this matter and request written confirmation of the removal of unauthorized inquiries and the associated account from my credit report within 30 days of receiving this letter. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that EQUIFAX will uphold its commitment to consumer rights and privacy. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
