These accounts and inquiries are involved in litigation and does not belong to me. I never established these accounts. These accounts are a result of fraud. I was contacted by a collection agency regarding the accounts that were obtained under my name. I have no knowledge of obtaining any of the accounts listed here in this affidavit report, and was told that I needed to complete this affidavit, along with submitting my personal identification to have the suspected fraudulent accounts investigated and removed immediately.

TransUnion LLC XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Immediate Rectification of Incorrect Information on Credit Report Dear TransUnion Representatives , This letter serves as a formal demand for immediate rectification of erroneous information that has been repeatedly reported on my credit file. I have contacted TransUnion on numerous occasions to address this issue, yet I have encountered inconsistent responses and a lack of resolution.

Despite multiple attempts to clarify the discrepancies, I have been met with varying explanations regarding the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) reports I have purportedly filed. Your representatives have failed to provide a coherent or consistent account of the number of reports, the specific items under dispute, or the relevant dates. Each interaction has only exacerbated my concerns, with representatives providing conflicting information and, at times, falsely claiming managerial status. 

Moreover, when contacting the general customer service number and requesting a transfer to the fraud department, your representatives immediately asserted they were the fraud department, contradicting standard procedural knowledge that such calls require a transfer. This behavior is indicative of a broader issue within your organization 's handling of consumer disputes.

It is apparent that the lack of transparency and willingness to assist is undermined by TransUnion 's profit-driven motives. Such practices not only fail to uphold the standards of ethical business conduct but also violate the rights of consumers seeking to maintain accurate credit reports. 

I demand an immediate and thorough investigation into these discrepancies and a prompt correction of all inaccurate information on my credit report. Furthermore, I expect TransUnion to revise its internal practices to ensure that consumers are treated with fairness and transparency in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. 

Failure to address this matter promptly will compel me to escalate this issue to the appropriate regulatory bodies, including the CFPB and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and pursue all available legal remedies. 

I trust that TransUnion will take this matter seriously and act expeditiously to rectify the situation. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint and issue a cease-and-desist order against XXXX XXXX. for multiple violations of federal laws and regulations, as well as against Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX for their roles in reporting inaccurate and unauthorized information. 

The crux of the inaccuracy in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in their knowledge that the debt in question was XXXX. Despite this knowledge, XXXX XXXX XXXX continued to furnish information related to my account to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX, which is a clear violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 

Furthermore, XXXX XXXX XXXX unlawfully attempted to collect on a XXXX debt, which is considered a certificate of indebtedness by the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ). The IRS defines a charge-off as Gross or Ordinary income, and it clearly states that income can not be reported on a consumer report. Therefore, the reporting of this account as a debt is factually incorrect and does not align with IRS regulations. XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to provide me with a 1099-C for the cancelled debt, which is required for filing as ordinary income according to IRS guidelines XXXX This lack of documentation further supports the inaccuracy of reporting this account as a debt. Attached is a copy of the 1099-C for which I personally filed for XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Moreover, XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to inform me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 6802 ( b ) ( c ). This failure, coupled with the unauthorized inclusion of adverse information in my consumer report by Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX, further demonstrates the systemic disregard for consumer rights and legal obligations. 

I hereby demand that XXXX XXXX XXXX immediately delete the account related to me from their records and cease all further reporting to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. This cease-and-desist order is issued in accordance with federal laws and regulations governing consumer rights and privacy. 

I also request a thorough investigation into the actions of XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX regarding their handling of my account information and the inaccurate reporting of my financial status. This letter serves as my final attempt to resolve this matter amicably before pursuing further legal action, including filing complaints with the Securities and Exchange Commission XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX file no. XXXX ). 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter.
