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 & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove the items listed below.

After submitting complaints through the CFPB, I have received several letters from Equifax indicating they are unable to verify my identity therefore they are unable to look into my complaints. 

Each time I have submitted a complaint through the CFPB I have included documents to verify my identity which includes my current drivers license, and social security card. In addition, I even added my voter registration which also has my current address. 

If I am submitting these documents through the CFPB when I am making the complaint, am i wrong to assume those documents would also be sent to the agency I am requesting to look into the complaint? If so, why is Equifax still requesting this information? 

According to CFPB 's website : " Include copies or photos of documents related to your issue, such as contracts, letters, and receipts, and we will forward all materials to the company for review. '' I believe it to be a stall tactic that is used by the agency, and a reason for them not to look into my complaint/dispute. AGAIN, I AM ATTACHING PROOF OF IDENTITY/ADDRESS IN THIS COMPLAINT IN ADDITION TO THE LETTER I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE FROM EQUIFAX. PLEASE SEND TO THE AGENCY WHEN SENDING COMPLAINT!

Over the last XXXX months I have requested from the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to validate a debt / charge off which appeared on my TransUnion credit report ( Account # XXXX, this account does not appear on any other credit agency reports ). My most recent certified letter is attached along with proof that they received the letter sent XX/XX/2023. I have never lived in XXXXXXXX XXXX and the XXXX of XXXX XXXX has never responded to my written and documented request for answers on this account. I have contacted them on the telephone several times and they have told me that because they are a utility company, they do not have to respond to requests such as mine and that I have no rights to request validation of this debt nor information on the account since they do not answer to the FCRA or the CFPB. I have contacted TransUnion regarding this matter as evidence from the attached letter ( XXXX account highlighted in yellow ) to them and have never received any response. I have also included my ID.

This dispute with XXXX has been ongoing since XX/XX/2022. It took extremely longer than 30 days for anything to be addressed which is the catalyst to why improper reporting even took place. After initiation of the dispute my account was closed. This created difficulty submitting requested docs via the portal and accessing their responses as XXXX suspends consumer online accounts as a result of account closures. I have proof that telephone correspondence was to no avail even after getting multiple XXXX 's representatives recorded, admitting to the dispute mishandling and promising to correct the inaccurate reporting, no accountability has been taken. XXXX refuses to stand behind a multitude of their trained staff. 

As of recent, the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has been handling this matter. They have sent out two notices. One admitting that they feel the XXXX host still deserves the right to be paid despite illegally recording, my family of XXXX including XXXX minor children in the XXXX, which is against XXXX and Fair Housing policies. They also sent out a second letter acknowledging that I was led to believe corrections would be made to the account that they now refuse to honor. 

They only thing they've honored is removing the late fees from XXXX XXXX. However, if you deem that the late fees should be reversed due to the account being in dispute this whole time, why don't you agree that my credit report ( which has a way larger impact ) shouldn't reflect the same? 

Instead, they are sharing inaccurate information that is no longer reflecting on their side and I DO NOT CONSENT TO THAT INFORMATION BEING SHARED. They keep adding remarks to my credit report without my request when everything should be removed. They are aware of the multiple recordings that I have from XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, etc that all have said that my account should not be in that status during dispute and the negative reporting should not have been made. Yet, they will act as-if they are doing the consumer a favor by reversing fees that shouldn't have been imposed while their life is falling apart due to inaccurate and unfair credit reporting. 

I will be pursing XXXX for the damages their actions alone have caused as many other creditors have retaliated as a result of their claims despite my due diligences and efforts.

Previously filed a complaint against XXXX XXXX Bank for a credit card that was paid in full, but listed as charged off with a balance on my credit report. I wrote to the XXXX of the bank and asked for the payment ledger which was emailed with a response. Per the response I received, the account was closed with a XXXX balance. However, each credit bureau shows closed at XXXX XXXX 's request with a charged off balance. If the account was paid off in full, it can not be a charge off with a balance. I have argued that this information is incorrect with the bureaus, and yet they are still reporting inaccurately. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires accurate information be reported to the credit bureaus.
