Subject : Formal Dispute of Alleged Fake Rental Debt Account Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the alleged debt referenced above, which is being pursued by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am seeking assistance from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) in resolving this matter under the guidelines of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

I want to emphatically state that I have never resided at nor applied to the location associated with this alleged debt. Therefore, the debt in question is entirely fabricated and without merit. Despite my repeated attempts to resolve this issue directly with XXXX XXXX XXXX, they continue to pursue collection activities based on false claims. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intervene in this matter and require XXXX XXXX XXXX to provide the following documentation to verify the validity of this alleged debt : Any and all records purportedly linking me to the rental property or application associated with this debt. 
Documentation proving that I applied for or resided at the aforementioned location, including any signed contracts or lease agreements. 
Proof of any communication between myself and XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding this debt. 
Any other evidence supporting the legitimacy of this debt. 
Given the fraudulent nature of this claim and the ongoing harassment by XXXX XXXX XXXX, I urgently seek your assistance in resolving this matter. I request that all collection activities cease immediately, and any negative remarks made on my credit report related to this false debt be retracted promptly. 

I appreciate your attention to this urgent matter and trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take appropriate action to protect consumers from unjust debt collection practices. 

Thank you for your prompt assistance.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I am sending this to you today because I have pulled my most recent credit report and I am extremely confused. It is very troubling as these items are reporting as incorrect and inaccurate information. I would appreciate your assistance to solve this problem.

I have done research at my end and as you and myself both aware, there are laws that guarantee that credit bureaus report accurate information. According to the FCRA, the information provided should be 100 % accurate, 100 % verifiable, and reported in a timely fashion. I am well aware you have 30 days to complete this investigation. Your failure to comply with federal regulations is a serious violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and could possibly result in an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission.

I must demand that you run a thorough investigation for each and every mistake listed, and a complete report MUST be provided to me after you have completed the investigation.

Hello I sent a letter to all 3 agencies plus XXXX XXXX  about non verifiable information on my report. They have responded that its accurate and verified but the court clerk and pacer both stated that they do not report information to credit agencies. 
This information is being unlawfully reported and they refuse to remove it from my report. when I responded to their letter saying its verified I never received a responded after 60 days. 

this notice also serves as my rightful demand for adequate investigation/reinvestigation into every aspect of any delinquency and/or derogatory data accused of me to ensure my lawful right of accurate and compliant reporting! 
You are improperly reporting an alleged Public Record to the credit bureaus that is clearly in noncompliance with recognized XXXX Reporting Requisites per the CRGG as well as the FCRA, and thus damaging my credit. Without being certifiably compliant with XXXX reporting standards, you are in violation of the required permission to report a single aspect or notation of any alleged accounts, much less a public record that was not even reported to you by the alleged Court of record. I formally contest the reportability of the alleged Public Record.

On XX/XX/year>2024 at XXXX I called TransUnion to asked to speak to the fraud department. Once connected I explained how TransUnion is reporting inaccurate information on my file and how it's fraudulent. I explained to the agent that I have already had the Public Record removed from XXXX and XXXX and the documents that I sent them. I explained that I have also provided the same documentation to TransUnion as the other agencies and the Public Record has since been removed. The agent at TransUnion proceeded to tell me that I needed to go to the court and ask to have the public record expunged. I proceeded to ask the agent how can I get a letter for a Public Record for a bankruptcy that does belong to me.

Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Their response dated XX/XX/2020 was a one paragraph letter stating that they reviewed the account on record and determined the the information reported on my credit file is correct. I received no documentation at all. 

This is a blatant violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In addition, I notified them that I was disputing this item, and after well over a 2 month period, they have yet to mark the item as " disputed '' on my credit report, which is also in violation, therefore, this alleged account should be removed from my file.
