This is to follow up regarding the persistent errors in removing fraudulent items from my credit report. Despite numerous attempts to rectify this issue, the inaccuracies persist, posing a significant threat to my financial well- being and personal security. I initially reported instances of fraud, and since then, I have diligently followed the established dispute resolution procedures to rectify the fraudulent items on my credit report. Regrettably, my efforts have been met with limited success, as the fraudulent entries continue to tarnish my credit history. I insist on an immediate and thorough investigation into these matters. I demand the prompt removal of all fraudulent items from my credit report, as well as a comprehensive update reflecting the accurate and verified information. These fraudulent items not only harm my creditworthiness but also expose me to potential financial and identity-related risks. I trust that Credit Bureaus takes these concerns seriously and is committed to maintaining the accuracy and integrity of consumer credit reports. I am asking for your assistance to remove the fraud items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

On XX/XX/2023 I ordered a copy of my credit report and discovered that there were items listed in my consumer report that aren't allowed by law and need them removed immediately. According to the FCRA 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. The rules of construction exclude any report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. Therefore, late payments shouldnt be included in the report as stated in sub section 603 ( b ) ( 3 ). I need these transactions removed from my consumer report because I never provided written permission for the consumer report to be furnished in the first place and under the FCRA subsection 604 ( permissible purposes of consumer reports ) ( a ) ( 2 ) my rights have been violated.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

A numerous amount of FCRA violations are continuously being committed which is causing great harm to my consumer report and most importantly my life situation. There is a great amount of inaccurate reporting. I have requested the method of verification that was used, I demanded these companies to cease and desist and Ive requested a proof of claim and they have failed to comply with any of it. Things are being furnished onto my report without my consent. The consumer reporting agencies are willfully violating the FCRA for their own willful and ill monetary gain.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of the information on my credit report maintained by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, as permitted by 15 U.S.C. 1681b and 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. Specifically, I am contesting the inclusion of two accounts, which I believe have been reported without a permissible purpose as required by federal law. 

Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX. 
Account XXXX : XXXX I would like to emphasize that my dispute is not with the creditors themselves but with your credit reporting agency. I never provided written consent for your agency to report on my consumer report. This omission of consent raises serious concerns, as it could potentially lead to identity theft, a matter I have already reported to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). My reference number for the FTC report is XXXX. 

In light of the above, I kindly request that you take immediate action to investigate the inclusion of these accounts on my credit report. I trust that you will conduct a thorough review of your records and verify whether a permissible purpose exists for reporting these accounts. If you are unable to demonstrate that such a permissible purpose exists, I insist that you promptly remove these accounts from my credit report, as required by law. 

I would also like to remind you of the time frame stipulated by 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which mandates the timely removal of any information reported without a permissible purpose. I expect that these accounts will be removed within the statutory time frame, and I insist on the accuracy and fairness of my credit report in accordance with federal law. 

Please provide me with written confirmation of the actions taken to investigate and rectify this matter. A copy of my updated credit report reflecting the removal of these accounts would be greatly appreciated. 

I am prepared to take further legal action to protect my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) if this matter is not resolved promptly and in accordance with the law. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution.

These late payments are affecting my credit score negatively, and I believe they are unjust and need immediate rectification. I have attached copies of my credit reports from XXXX Credit Bureaus to this letter for your reference, which clearly show the inaccuracies I am disputing. I would like to bring to your attention that I have never been late on these accounts, and the late payments reported are erroneous. I have always made my payments on time. Therefore, I am formally requesting that you investigate and correct these inaccuracies promptly. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are required to investigate disputed items on a credit file. Please help me correct the following late open accounts : DP OF EDUC XXXXBalance : {$19000.00} ; DP OF EDUC XXXXBalance : {$17000.00} ; DP OF EDUC XXXXBalance : {$14000.00} ; DP OF EDUC XXXX****Balance : {$11000.00} ; DP OF EDUC 4945****Balance : {$4100.00} ; DP OF EDUC XXXX****Balance : {$13000.00} ; DP OF EDUC 4945****Balance : {$4200.00} ; DP OF EDUC XXXXBalance : {$4000.00} ; DP OF EDUC XXXXBalance : {$3800.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$320.00}.

Despite repeated requests, Experian Credit Bureau has failed to follow through with my dispute regarding unlawful inquiries and reports that fall under the Fair Credit Report Act, FCRA. Specifically, on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I received an alert indicating that XXXX XXXX XXXX in Arizona had obtained a new hard inquiry on my credit report without my permission or knowledge. Despite informing Experian Credit Bureau of this unlawful inquiry, they were unable to assist me and directed me to handle the matter with XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

It is worth mentioning that XXXX XXXX XXXX procured a Credit Report copy under an incorrect name, and the Experian Credit Bureau was duly informed of the error. 

Furthermore, on or about XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, I discovered that three accounts on my credit report, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, were showing as 30 days delinquent despite being closed several years prior. After requesting an investigation into the matter and being informed that the accounts were verified as accurate, I contacted Experian Credit Bureau again on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite being told that the results of my dispute could take up to 30 days, I received a response within 48 hours stating that the information I disputed had been verified as accurate.

The notion of an account ( s ) being 30 days delinquent despite being closed for several years is mathematically inexplicable and defies rational explanation. 

It is unclear why Experian Credit Bureau is unwilling to remove these unlawful inquiries and reports from my credit report, despite my repeated requests and evidence to the contrary.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (FL)

I opened new credit card account with American Express on/about XX/XX/19 after seeing they were offering an introductory rate of 0 % for balance transfers made within the first 60 days of account opening. Via a telephone conversation the AMEX representative indicated the approved credit limit would be {$1000.00}. I informed the representative that I was displeased with the low amount and required a higher limit in order to do the balance transfer I had in mind. The representative informed me that this {$1000.00} limit was simply the introductory limit approved for all new accounts and that I could request a credit limit increase as soon as I receive my card in the mail. Today ( XX/XX/19 ) I have submitted several requests and spoken to a number of individuals within the Customer Service and New Accounts departments at AMEX. All representatives are indicating AMEX has a policy of not approving credit limit increases within the first 60 days of a new account. Thus, negating the 0 % balance transfer offer and my entire purpose of opening an account with American Express. I feel they were deceptive with their policies and specifically with this promotional offer in order to gain me as a customer.
