I value your help to REMOVED a portion of the data in my credit file that came about because of FRAUD yet I have an item passed on that should be taken out or blocked.

I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider you responsible for your tenacious rebelliousness.

I am writing to formally dispute the presence of unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and inquiries on my credit report, which I received on [ Date of Credit Report ]. After a careful review, I have identified multiple accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. These entries appear to have been added to my credit report in error or as a result of fraudulent activity.The inclusion of these erroneous items has unfairly impacted my credit score and overall financial standing. This matter is causing significant concern, as my credit history is being unjustly damaged by information that is neither accurate nor reflective of my true financial activities.

On XX/XX/XXXX, CITI sent me a letter that says that credit has been made to my account in an ongoing dispute. To date, the credit has not been made. I called the dispute center on XX/XX/XXXX. The representative said that the letter had been issued XX/XX/XXXX, not XX/XX/XXXX as shown on the letter. The representative said that the account would be credited in 48 hours. I waited 48 hours from when the representative said the letter was issued, ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and no action. This dispute has been going on for five months. This is more evidence that Citi is not acting in good faith. In this dispute, Citi also issued me a letter saying that the issue had been resolved and that a temporary payment had been made permanent. However the temporary payment had been rescinded. Citi also said in writing that no further action was needed on my part, which is also simply not true.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed a late payment on an account that I was never late for. 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 says. I have never been late on payments and did not provide written consent to report the account : XXXX XXXX : [ XXXX ] and XXXX  XXXX [ XXXX ]. Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that these payments were late and proof that I authorized the reporting of this information. If proof can not be provided I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late.

Subject : Formal Complaint and Cease and Desist Order Against Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX for Reporting Inaccurate & Unauthorized Information for XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank. 

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint and issue a cease-and-desist order against Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX for multiple violations of federal laws and regulations for their roles in reporting inaccurate and unauthorized information for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . I have filed a formal complaint with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ( FDIC ) against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

The crux of the inaccuracy in Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX 's reporting lies in their knowledge that the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  debt in question was discharged. Despite this knowledge, XXXX 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 ) and Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX continued to report the information. 

Furthermore, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX unlawfully attempted to collect on a discharged debt, which is considered a certificate of indebtedness by the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ). According to IRS regulations, such discharged debt can not be reported as income. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  has failed to provide me with a 1099-C for the cancelled debt as required by law. This failure to comply with IRS reporting requirements and the misreporting of my account as a debt rather than a certificate of indebtedness are clear violations of federal statutes. Attached is a copy of the 1099-C in which I personally filed for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX 

Moreover, XXXX 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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX immediately delete the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  account related to me from my credit reports. 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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX regarding their handling of my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  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. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
