The items listed below are reported on my credit file and were found in my reports with 3 credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law regarding identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me. Since this is a strict violation of FCRA laws I need the items removed from my file. XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX would highly appreciate it if you removed these items from reporting immediately.

I am writing to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding a fraudulent auto loan that was opened in my name without my consent or knowledge to XXXX XXXX XXXX My name is XXXX XXXX, and I recently discovered the existence of this fraudulent auto loan during a routine review of my credit report. It has come to my attention that someone, without my authorization, obtained an auto loan in my name, and I am deeply concerned about the implications of this fraudulent activity on my financial well-being. 

I promptly reported this incident to the appropriate authorities, including contacting the major credit bureaus to place a fraud alert on my credit file and filing a report with my local law enforcement agency. I have also taken steps to notify the lender associated with the fraudulent loan and dispute the inaccurate information on my credit report. 

Identity theft and fraudulent financial activity have serious consequences, both financially and emotionally. I am distressed by the potential damage this fraudulent auto loan could inflict on my credit history and future financial opportunities. 

I am seeking the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in resolving this matter and ensuring that my rights as a consumer are protected. I request that the CFPB investigate this case thoroughly and take appropriate action against the parties responsible for perpetrating this fraud.

Account with Department of EducationXXXX was transferred to XXXX for PSLF eligibility XX/XX/year>. When contacting XXXX about their still " OPEN '' trade line with a balance of {$88000.00}, they stated that they transferred the trade line with instructions to XXXX to update the trade line rather than adding a trade line and because of that they ( XXXX ) are not able to do anything with the trade line. Upon calling XXXX and speaking to several representatives and being on hold for many hours, the issue is still not resolved. I submitted an inquiry to XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX with information they requested from me including credit reports showing the trade line from XXXX. They have yet to resolve the issue or get back in contact with me. I have also disputed the credit line with Experian numerous times with no success at getting the trade line balance updated or even to show as a closed status. They requested information from me showing that the XXXX accounts were in fact transferred, which I did submit. I also submitted to them a PDF document directly from my XXXX account showing that all my balances have a XXXX balance. At this point my credit is being incorrectly reported by the credit bureaus and I am unsure how to go about getting it corrected.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
