Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Other personal consumer report
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is incorrect
Company: LEXISNEXIS (GA)

There are XXXX accounts on my LexisNexis report that are not mine. They list me as the Primary Policyholder. I have never opened an insurance policy with XXXX, because I have not ever owned a car until XX/XX/2023. These accounts are a result of years of identity theft by my mother, and XXXX has already resolved this on their end by terminating the policies as though they never existed. I sent them proof of the theft by sending a police report to them and informing them I never owned the cars on the policy. Unfortunately, I have already tried the dispute process with LexisNexis and they refused to correct inaccurate information, so I am going directly through the CFPB. I have attached Progressives fraud department results and the police report for your viewing, and I expect those accounts to be removed from my LexisNexis report. I am already unable to get car insurance because LexisNexis refuses to fix errors in my report. I will be including this issue in my eventual lawsuit if it comes to that.

Subject : Urgent Request for Investigation and Deletion of Incorrect Charge-Off XXXX XXXX  ACCOUNT ENDING XXXX I am contacting you to formally challenge and seek immediate investigation and removal of incorrect charge-off entries made by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have severely impacted my financial standing, hindering my ability to secure a home mortgage, an auto loan, and additional credit facilities. 
I wish to highlight that I have no contractual ties with this collection agency. Their actions of reporting my credit information without any contractual basis are unjustified and breach multiple legal norms concerning credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The reported charge-offs, which suggest debts I do not recognize, have been documented on my credit report without my agreement, violating established principles of lawful credit reporting, also referred to as certificates of indebtedness.

2. **Absence of Form 1099-C** : I was not provided with Form 1099-C for debt cancellation by the agency, which is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance with IRS requirements. This omission could lead to potential risks of tax non-compliance.

3. **Infringement of Privacy Rights** : This action violates the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), which ensures stringent safeguards against the unauthorized release of personal information.

4. **Lack of Contractual Agreement** : There is no formal contract between myself and the agency, thus their reporting of my credit information directly infringes on my consumer rights.

5. **Exercising Opt-Out Rights** : In accordance with regulations under 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, 12 CFR 1016.7, 15 USC 6802 ( b ), and 15 USC 6805, I am formally revoking any implied permissions for the dissemination or reporting of my credit information. 
Given these concerns, I urgently request a review and elimination of these incorrect records from my credit report, and I ask for a written confirmation of this deletion. Please note that I am prepared to take further actions, including legal recourse, to rectify my credit report and protect my rights. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

I am formally contesting and requesting the expeditious removal of fraudulent accounts from my credit report. This dispute stems from a case of identity theft, for which I have filed a formal report with the Federal Trade Commission. Furthermore, I have engaged with the banks associated with the fraudulent accounts. The banks have acknowledged the legitimacy of the identity theft report and have identified a potential system glitch that has impeded access to the records. They have assured me of the prompt removal of the fraudulent accounts, which have erroneously remained on my report for over XXXX years. However, these fraudulent accounts persist on my report under your bureau, and I am curious about the verification process you have undertaken. XXXX and XXXX credit bureaus have ceased reporting these fraudulent accounts since the submission of the requisite documents.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was sent {$350.00} via XXXX from a friend. I sent the {$350.00} right back because my friend was trying to pay themselves so that they could pay for utilities. The {$350.00} went to the same account they sent from. So they fixed the account information and sent me the {$350.00} again. So everything was an eye for an eye. My friends {$350.00} was utilized as they wanted. My money was never involved and it was never my {$350.00}. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, a dispute was made on the account. The dispute charged me twice for {$350.00}. The total withdrawal was {$700.00}! I tried to contact XXXX to tell them what happened and they couldnt help me. I contacted my bank and they couldnt help me. I contacted my friend because she shares an account with her domestic partner. The domestic partner was the one who made the dispute as they were having domestic troubles. I contact the bank of the domestic partner and they could not help since I do not have an account with them. I just lost {$700.00} and my friend was still able to use her initial {$350.00} to pay for utilities.

Subject : Formal Complaint and Request for Investigation and Removal of Unauthorized Charge-off. XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT ENDING XXXX I am formally disputing and request the immediate investigation and removal of unauthorized and inaccurately reported charge-off entries by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have severely affected my financial standing, disqualifying me from securing a home mortgage, an auto loan, and any lines of credit. 
It is critical to highlight that I have never entered any contractual relationship with this collection agency. Their actions to report on my credit without a direct agreement are not only baseless but also infringe upon my consumer rights, constituting a clear violation of multiple legal standards pertaining to credit reporting and consumer privacy : XXXX. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The reporting of charge-offs, which are essentially certificates of indebtedness that I have never agreed upon, appears on my credit report without my authorization. This action is in direct violation of the principles that govern lawful credit reporting. 
XXXX. **Failure to Furnish Form XXXX : The collection agency has also failed to provide me with a copy of Form XXXX concerning the cancellation of debt, which is essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance. This omission has potentially placed me at risk of non-compliance with IRS regulations. 
XXXX. **Violation of Privacy Rights** : Under the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), there is a stringent protection against the unlawful disclosure of personal information. The agency 's action contravenes these legal provisions by disclosing personal financial details without my consent.

4. **No Contractual Relationship** : As I have never signed any form of agreement with the said agency, their report constitutes a direct infringement on my rights as a consumer.

5. **Opt-Out Rights** : In accordance with the provisions of 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, and 12 CFR 1016.7 along with 15 USC 6802 ( b ) and 15 USC 6805, I am formally opting out of all authorizations, whether impliedly granted, for sharing or reporting my credit information. 
Given these points, I urge you to act swiftly in investigating these claims and remove the inaccurate charge-off entries from my credit report. I expect a written confirmation of the deletion of these entries. Please understand that I am prepared to take further steps, including legal action, if necessary, to ensure the correction of my credit information and to protect my rights. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

These entries have significantly damaged my financial reputation, preventing me from obtaining a home mortgage, an auto loan, and additional credit lines. 
It's important to note that I have never had a contractual agreement with this collection agency. Their reporting of my credit data without a contractual relationship is not only unfounded but also violates several legal standards regarding credit reporting and consumer privacy : XXXX. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The charge-offs reported, which are effectively claims of debt I have not acknowledged, are listed on my credit report without my consent, clearly breaching established rules of lawful credit reporting. Also know as certificates of indebtedness. 
XXXX. **Failure to Provide Form XXXX : The agency did not supply me with Form XXXX for debt cancellation, crucial for correct tax filing and IRS compliance. This failure exposes me to potential tax non-compliance risks. 
XXXX. **Violation of Privacy Rights** : This reporting breaches the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), which offers strict protections against unauthorized disclosure of personal data.

4. **No Contractual Relationship** : There is no formal agreement between me and the agency, making their credit reporting a direct violation of my consumer rights.
