" Dear Experian, I received your attached response to CFPB complaint number ( give your CFPB complaint XXXX ) XX/XX/year> ( whatever date you received that letter ) in which you refused to honor my request to block information appearing on my credit report maintained by you as the result of identity theft and fraud. In your response, you gave reasons for the denial of the block in which you determined that either 1. the request was made in error, 2. the request was based on a material misrepresentation, or 3. That I received goods services or moneys as a result of the transactions I am seeking to block. Your letter fails to tell me the source of the information you relied on in making such a determination. My rights found within the FCRA entitle me to a reinvestigation of all contested items from my credit report which I asked you to block for the reason of identity theft and fraud in CFPB complaint number ( give your original CFPB complaint number ) as well as a written response from you which verifies the source of information you relied on in either granting or denying my request as well as the procedures you used in order to obtain that information. Specifically, FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( 6 ) - ( 7 ) ) entitles me to disclosure of the business name and address of the source of this information as well as a detailed description of the procedure by which that source was contacted in the course of your reinvestigation. I therefore request, pursuant to FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681I ), that you commence a reinvestigation of the aforementioned items from my credit report maintained by you and that you provide me with the aforementioned written verification of your reinvestigation procedure as well as verification of the source of information you relied on in your decision to grant or deny my block request.

Subject : Complaint Against [ Experian, XXXX, XXXX ] for Violation of FCRA Complaint Details : Summary : I am filing this complaint against Experian, XXXX, and XXXX for failing to provide a method of verification for disputed items on my credit report and for repeatedly sending stall letters despite verifying my identity. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and hinder my ability to ensure the accuracy of my credit report. 

Detailed Explanation : Failure to Provide Method of Verification : Under FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), credit reporting agencies are required to provide the method of verification used when responding to a consumer 's dispute regarding the accuracy of information on their credit report.

Despite my repeated requests for the method of verification, none of the three credit agencies have complied with this requirement, thereby violating the FCRA. 
Sending Stall Letters : I have received multiple stall letters from Experian, XXXX, and XXXX. These letters claim that my dispute can not be processed due to the need for additional information to verify my identity. 
I have provided all necessary identification documents, including my driver 's license, Social Security card, and utility bills, to verify my identity. 
The repeated sending of stall letters instead of addressing my dispute constitutes a delay tactic, which is not permissible under the FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) requiring prompt investigation of disputed information.

Violation of FCRA : By failing to provide the method of verification and repeatedly sending stall letters, the credit agencies are in clear violation of the FCRA.

These actions undermine my rights as a consumer to ensure the accuracy and completeness of my credit report.

Request for Resolution : I demand that Experian, XXXX, and XXXX immediately provide the method of verification for the disputed items on my credit report. 
I request that these agencies cease sending stall letters and instead process my disputes promptly and in compliance with the FCRA. 
If these issues are not resolved promptly, I intend to pursue legal action against these agencies for non-compliance with the FCRA, as permitted under FCRA Section 616, which allows consumers to sue for damages resulting from willful non-compliance. 
Conclusion : I seek the CFPB 's intervention to ensure that Experian, XXXX, and XXXX comply with the FCRA and rectify the issues outlined in this complaint. It is imperative that my rights as a consumer are upheld and that these credit reporting agencies adhere to the legal standards set forth by the FCRA. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Experian on multiple occasions has stated they are reviewing files but have failed to do so. Proof of such was previous file XXXX They on multiple occasions stated they verified the file but failed to delete it until another reporting agency did the job for them. This has been a recurring issue for them even when sent files and paperwork to fix and correct file they only fix file after another company has done the work for them. Currently two accounts XXXX and XXXX XXXX hav already been removed form other companies yet Experian still updated the account without running an investigation. Even when provided the papers stating account has been deleted by other companies they still refuse to run any investigation. They have continually violated my consumer rights as I have sent over 55 disputes to them now

The items listed below are reported on my personal 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 in regard to identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided me with 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.

Debtors creditors did not verify this collection. Also there was no written form of communication, contract or signature for this account debt at all.
