It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

Date of Birth : XX/XX/year> Last 4 SS # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX Transunion To Whom it May Concern, Account name : XXXXXXXX XXXX I received a copy of my credit report. To my surprise, the credit reporting agencies are reporting this account incorrectly. This account is not only being reported as in collections, but also shows a past due balance of {$1600.00} while reflecting XXXX ( XXXX ) late payment. Additionally the utilization percentage is also inaccurate : 48 % of {$1100.00} = XXXX x {$1100.00} = {$520.00} So the increase amount is {$520.00} Adding the increase of {$520.00} to the original {$1100.00} gives us : {$1100.00} + {$520.00} = XXXX Therefore, {$1100.00} plus a 48 % increase is {$1600.00}, not {$1600.00}. 

According to the FCRA, I have the right to an accurate credit report. Please remove this account immediately from my credit report. Please provide me a copy of my new credit report reflecting this account remove upon completion.

I am filing an urgent complaint against XXXX for their clear disregard of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and their failure to properly validate and verify an account listed on my credit report.

The actions of XXXX have caused undue harm to my financial reputation and stability.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MI)

Information is being inaccurately reported on my credit reports. The information is being reported by XXXX. I previously tried disputing information with the credit bureaus. Each bureau came back indicating that the account was either verified/updated. My last attempt was trying to clear the matter up with XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I faxed a dispute to XXXX advising that information was being reported incorrectly and that I would like for the 12 accounts of which they are reporting to be removed. I called XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX just to confirm receipt of my dispute. I was advised that a decision was made on XX/XX/XXXX and the request was denied. I have not received any correspondence advising of the denial at this time. I don't understand how a complete investigation can be done in a day 's time. I do not believe that XXXX has done its due diligence in investigating my dispute. These accounts are reporting under XXXX on my credit reports. These accounts have been closed and transferred so I really can't understand why XXXX is refusing to remove the accounts considering they are reporting inaccurately. It appears that they keep updating my payment status which is somehow prolonging the length of time for them to report. The attachment provided clearly shows that they are reporting my account current and then the following month with 90 days late. How can you be 90 days late without being 30 or 60 days late?

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

This is a fraudulent charge from XXXX toXX/XX/XXXXXXXX. On XX/XX/year>, I informed XXXX that the services for the {$29000.00} sent to the dental office ( where I am not a patient ) were never provided. Despite not signing the XX/XX/XXXXXXXX Receipt attached to the Inactive Treatment Plan, the company has refused to refund the full amount of {$29000.00}. This transaction originated when my mother requested that I co-sign for her dental work at XX/XX/XXXXXXXX. During my conversation with financial consultant XXXX, I was misled to believe that the loan application link sent to me was solely for co-signing purposes. However, upon receiving the completed loan documents, it became evident that I was the primary and sole borrower for the line of credit. Consequently, I declined to sign the XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Receipt as I was misled during the financing process. 

I am not and have never been a patient of XX/XX/XXXXXXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), and I have no financial obligations to this establishment. All financial obligations should be directed towards the patient only. 

Despite me NEVER signing the merchant 's contract,XX/XX/XXXXXXXX refused to refund the funds, and XXXX did not take any action to retrieve the funds from the dental office. I did not directly nor indirectly benefit from any funds dispursed.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and disappointment with the handling of my identity theft complaints by your bureau. This issue not only involves the theft of my personal data but also highlights the apathetic approach your bureau has taken in managing my situation. 

I have provided all necessary documentation, including the FTC report I filed with the Federal Trade Commission, to prove my innocence and the criminal nature of the actions. Despite the gravity of the situation and its profound impact on my life, your bureau 's response has been alarmingly XXXX. Communication regarding the status of my disputes has been minimal, and the responses I have received were generic and unhelpful. This lack of attention and urgency has left me feeling ignored and abandoned by the institution I relied upon to protect my credit and financial well-being. 

I urge your bureau to take my identity theft case seriously and expedite the investigation process. Please thoroughly review the evidence I have provided and promptly remove the fraudulent account and transactions from my credit report. Additionally, I ask that you take steps to prevent such incidents from happening in the future, as it is clear that my personal information was mishandled and abused.
