First of all, I'm the one filing this complaint, and I give Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) authority to investigate this claim and I do not consent to an electronic communications. I request all responses be in writing throughtheusps. This is one of my numerous endeavor to tell you that I am a victim of identity theft and I complain to question specific records in my document coming about because of the wrongdoing. As you can see, I am keeping careful records in regards to this matter. It has been well over the 30 days allowed by federal law for you to respond. Your failure to comply with federal regulations is a serious violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and could result in an investigation by the FTC. Perhaps this is just an oversight or result of high volume of the requests you receive daily. I highly doubt an agency that is responsible of maintain accurate information would neglect to follow the laws that govern them on purpose. So I will extend you the benefit of the doubt. Im sure youll want to tend to my request as soon as possible. To recap it all for you the following needs to be removed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor XXXX XXXX ) XXXX. Please delete these fraudulent accounts from my file ASAP. Also, I have sent your company many letters requesting that you investigate a list of inquiries that I believe are reporting incorrectly. Not responding to my requests is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and will not be tolerated. In case you would like to settle this matter between you and I, rather than me filing suit against your company, I will once again list the inquiries in question so that you may do as you are governed by the FCRA. Please investigate the following : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

To Whom It May Concern : I have sent multiple letters to this consumer agency to update my personal information, remove debts that do not belong to me, removal of Inquiries that I was not aware of nor authorized, removal of inaccurate information, updating my credit score, request to have verifications of debts mailed to my residence. I have asked for a copy of my credit report mailed along with my updated credit score. What is being reported in inaccurate information which has impacted my livelihood.

This is abuse of power and bad business practices.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized accounts appearing on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to have these accounts removed, they persist, causing significant damage to my financial reputation and well-being. The accounts in question are in clear violation of 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes. It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX, Experian and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (FL)

I have serious concerns that American Express ( the Company ) is not adhering to the Fair Credit Billing Act, as it relates to my rights to a timely, accurate, fair, transparent, and equitable dispute process. 

The Company is also failing to acknowledge and directly reply to my inquiries and submissions in this matter. I have spent hours of phone and writing time, in an attempt to communicate the very straightforward facts of this case to the Companys representatives, but have received nothing that could be considered responsive to a dispute which has been pending for 5 months now. 

Very simply put, I have not received the merchandise that was ordered and billed to my account by the merchant. The merchant has provided documentation of some delivery, but not delivery to my address. In fact, the merchants own tracking indicates that someone by the name of XXXX received the package. In the Companys recent rejection letter, it wrote : Please understand that American Express is not in a position to determine if compensation is due If there were true, then what exactly is the purpose of a dispute process? This is a fairly absurd statement for the Companys dispute services team to write. The Company also asserts that there is proof of delivery. This is also not the case. A package allegedly received by someone I did not authorize, whom I have demonstrated is a resident in another unit in my building, is hardly proof of delivery.

I have asked all three creditors to remove inaccurate accounts off my credit report. They removed a couple of items and on some account they claim to have verified some of these account as accurate. Now according to the fair credit reporting act, section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) they are required by federal law to verify through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract- ANY and ALL accounts they post on MY Credit Report. The Creditors HAVE NOT DONE SO. Their failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA unverified accounts must be removed. These account have not been removed.

Beginning of XXXX, I enter walgreens and they ask me if i want to sign up for their rewards program to get extra savings. I agree, and they tell me that they would need my social security information. I've never really signed up for a rewards program before besides at some food places, so i thought this was standard protocol as i'm fairly new to credit itself and store reward programs. Without my knowledge, They charge the credit card and i finish the rest of the purchase with my actual debit card thinking i just got a discount. An hour later, i become aware of it being a credit card through my email. I immediately call XXXX  walgreens and ask to cancel. They close the credit card but did not make me aware of any charges. This is recorded proof in the call that we had. Fast forward a couple months later. It's now XXXX and i look on my credit report and see that i have months of interest and late fees charged on the account. I get a huge credit drop. 700 's to almost 500 's back to 600s. I call XXXX  they tell me theres nothing they can do. This is unfair as i'm already going through financial struggle, trying to keep my payments as timely as possible, and then i get XXXX  by this bank trying to XXXX  people into getting a credit card. 

( this call was recorded by XXXX. Aswell as my other ones. They did not let me access the call records, and just proceeded to hang up on me. )

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (NY)

I opened my account with M & T Bank because there is a very convenient ATM that I pass every morning and afternoon going to and coming home from work. That particular ATM has been down for maintenance for several months now and that has caused me to have to use ATM machines where I am being charged {$3.00} from my bank and {$2.00} from the ATM. When I spoke with the bank about this situation they have told me several times that they will try to verify that the ATM is still out of service and go from there but I have had no resolution in the past several months. The only advice they offered was for me to use a different ATM that is 15 minutes down the road from my house. That would mean I have to drive 15 minutes to this ATM and then 15 minutes back to my house before I can proceed with whatever I am doing. I find that highly unreasonable. I would like them to refund all of the fees associated with using any other ATMs but the one in XXXX New York because that is the one that is down. To date, I have over {$400.00} in ATM fees because of their machine being down

I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

I XXXX XXXX, hereby assert my rights as an individual and consumer, as recognized by the FDCPA and FCRA. My personal privacy, safeguarded by Title 15 U.S.C 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ), has been consistently breached. It's essential to highlight that I have never granted written authorization, as stipulated in Title 15 U.S.C 1681 b ( 2 ), for these transactions to be publicly disclosed. Some of these accounts that were previously removed and subsequently re-added, which is a direct violation of 15 U.S.C 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ). It has come to my attention that despite my efforts to rectify inaccuracies on my credit report, certain accounts have been unlawfully reinstated without proper documentation or justification. Furthermore, my credit card ( Social Security Card ), defined in Title 15 U.S.C 1602, has been utilized without my explicit written consent.

As outlined in Title 15 U.S.C 1681s, the duty to implement administrative measures falls upon your organization. I wish to bring to your attention the responsibility of the involved entities XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX, as indicated in Title 15 1681 2 ( b ) for their lack of due diligence in maintaining accurate data. The presence of erroneous information on my consumer report, with a data breach has led me to file an identity theft report. I emphasize that, pursuant to 15 U.S.C 1681 c-2 ( e ), these inaccurate accounts must be removed within 4 days of filing the identity theft report, not the usual 30 days. It's important to note that the unauthorized utilization of my credit card, in violation of Title 15 U.S.C 1602, does not confer any benefit upon me, the consumer, in accordance with Title 15 U.S.C 1681s.

I extend my gratitude for your assistance in upholding Federal Law during this recent revelation. This letter serves as an urgent request for the prompt elimination of the subsequent accounts from my credit report : 1.
