They assured me they would comply with my request, and take whatever steps necessary to resolve the issue, but I wanted to contact you as well, just to make sure this gets done.

Please assist in deleting these items from my credit report 4 days after you receive this notice. I'm willing to accept the deletions of the unauthorized erroneous items instead of taking legal action for the violations you clearly made. 

These items in my credit file are from unauthorized use of my social security number and card. I did not authorize these inquiries to be taken out in my name nor do they relate to anything I did. I'm unaware of any of this. All is being investigated by the FTC.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

I am so confused about your credit bureaus investigation on the account, that I am again writing this letter to dispute the fraudulent account on my credit report. As you have known, I have submitted the required FTC report I filed on Federal Trade Commission regarding the fraudulent account on my reoprt and upon submission, XXXX and XXXX removed the said account on their records. I also contacted the bank associated with this account and they said they have removed the accounts, so my question is : why are the account still reporting on your bureau? It is important to note that as a credit bureau, you are legally obligated to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of your records. By failing to remove this fraudulent account, you are not fulfilling this obligation and are exposing me to further harm. Please DELETE the account : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card has been reporting payments from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. 1st they said my missed payments were XXXX and XXXX and then when I prove them wrong by showing that my bank statement and now they changed it to XX/XX/XXXX saying I was late sent them proof of my bank statement showing that I did pay I didn't make a payment. I've disputed it probably about 20 times in the writing and every time they come back saying that I missed the payments when I didn't. My bank statement is not lying, I have a 98 % payment history so the only two that's preventing me from 100 % are these miscellaneous payments that I know I did not mess because I have the bank statements to prove it. I have been trying so hard to build my credit, and they keep holding me back as well as a collection agency that keeps opening and closing and I know I don't owe them a dime because I paid it off in XXXX beginning of XXXX. I can't get them to fix issue. I've emailed them and disputed the late payment, and even though I sent bank XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX they refuse to change it they just switch months and say I was late different months when I would be off on one credit report it says XXXX and XXXX the other one it says XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX it's already been over two years and they still continued to say I was late, but I know I was not Im over it my credit score finally was up to XXXX and because I use the fee was my credit cards my credit score went down drastically to XXXX and XXXX and even though I have paid off most of the balances already a week later, they decided to lower my score anyway and it's really getting ridiculous because they drop it so dramatically and it's taken me two years to get to XXXX and now I'm back at the bottom again
