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.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: AES/PHEAA (FL)

In XXXX of 2019 I applied for a forbearance on my Student Loans through FED Loan who was the servicer at the time. Fedloan assured me I did not have to worry about payments or anything else while it processed. Everything was fine until I realized that I have 90-120 day late payments reported to my credit although I have a letter from FED Loan clearly stating that I was in forbearance during the time that I was supposedly late. 

During this time I had 17 student loan accounts which meant I had 17 90 day late payments which absolutely devastated my credit. 

I did dispute this through XXXX, XXXX and XXXX all of which said that FedLoan came back and verified that the late payments were accurate which is incorrect. The multiple times I spoke to fed loan over the phone I was told this is something that needed to be dealt with through mail. I mailed them on numerous occasions and never received a response.

I had my idenity stolen on XX/XX/year> and have been dealing with this with my bank at this time and was notified of this issue and put a freeze on my Credit reports today.

I did speak to XXXX and they said they put my correct phone number back which is XXXX. That is the only number that should be on my account. I would like the XXXX XXXXe inquiry removed off my credit report and would like to have the only contact number on all my credit reports to be XXXX.
