As of XXXX, upon review of my most recent review of my credit profile from Experian XXXX and XXXX, I have found a few inaccuracies listed. On Page XXXX of my attached credit report listed concerning a XXXX XXXX XXXX account, Experian, XXXX and XXXX have conflicting LAST REPORTED dates. DATE LAST ACTIVE is also inconsistent across Experian, XXXX and XXXX. The PAYMENT HISTORY for XXXX is also inconsistent across the said three credit reporting agencies for the same  XXXX  XXXX XXXX account. 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) states : Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. This is because 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. Therefore 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. The results of these inaccuracies have caused my self and as a result, my family, discrimination, pain, duress among other forms of mental discomfort. Consequently, due to the grave inconsistencies Experian, XXXX and XXXX should immediately remove this XXXX XXXX  XXXX account from my credit profile to reduce the personal harm they have caused. XXXX XXXX - Without Recourse.

verbiage 75 % XXXX The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' XXXX and Experian are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information.

On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

In XX/XX/2022 I had my credit score run when I was looking to buy a house. My score was XXXX because of my nearly perfect credit history ( i.e. no missed or late payments, no outstanding accounts ). A few months later, I noticed that my credit score dropped significantly, over 100 points. I looked into this further and it turns out that one of my credit cards that I don't use -- my XXXX card -- had XXXX unauthorized charges on it for {$10.00} and {$18.00} in XX/XX/2022. I was not made aware of this until XXXX when I noticed my credit had dropped, because XXXX reported the unpaid charges and associated late fees equally {$120.00} to all three credit agencies. I immediately reached out to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX department to clear this up. I disputed the charges, which were refunded and my account balance returned to {$0.00}. However, all three credit agencies are still reporting a 60 day late notice on my credit report, resulting in a dramatically lowered credit score, which really has disastrous effects on my financial life at this point. I have disputed this issue with all three credit agencies twice, and this issue has yet to be resolved. I am attaching documentation showing the {$28.00} and associated late fees refunded by XXXX to show my account back to {$0.00} and in good standing. I desperately need this off of my credit report, which was previously perfect without any late payments or outstanding accounts. As a financially independent single person trying to buy a home and make a life for myself with high student loans and no financial help from family or friends, it is imperative that I maintain good credit to be able to achieve my goals. I've worked incredibly hard to keep my credit perfect, and this has been an incredible source of stress and concern, and an issue that can cost me tens of thousands of dollars over time if I take out a mortgage or car loan with a lowered credit score. Thank you very much for your help in having this 60 day late fee notice removed from my credit score at all three credit agencies and repairing my credit and credit limit with XXXX.
