I've made numerous attempts to dispute the fraudulent information from my credit report through online filing, mail, and calls without getting anywhere. Online disputes are being closed the same day with no proof the information is accurate or that I've provided written authorization that allowed these companies to access my credit report. 

The burden of proof lies with you as the credit reporting agency. Since I'm advising this information was NOT authorized by me, the consumer, I would appreciate this information removed from my credit report. 

Where I've been able to find out the company, I've attempted to make contact with them and advise them they've fraudulently reported information on my credit report. I've yet to been able to get anywhere with any of these companies. 

I've also filed a formal FTC complaint on this matter to further secure my information from potential identity theft. As well as purchased subscriptions to place 'locks ' and 'freezes ' on my credit report with your company. 

A full listing of each of these fraudulent accounts is below : XXXX  Account XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Account number XXXX XXXX  Account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account number XXXX A full listing of each of these fraudulent inquiries is below : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The account below has engaged in inaccurate and fraudulent reporting on my credit report. This company has reported a false late payment on XX/XX/XXXX with one agency, and another on XX/XX/XXXX. I've attempted to work with them and argued the fact the payment was not late to no avail. They've now reported on my credit report the account was closed on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and reported a late payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Since I've been unable to get anywhere with them, I wish my credit report to be corrected with the accurate information of the account closure on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and the false late payment in XXXX remove immediately. 

XXXX Account number XXXX I greatly appreciate your assistance in updating my credit report and ensuring it's accuracy. If you believe any of the information is accurate, I demand proof of this so I can begin any necessary legal action with counsel to get this rectified. 

Thank you! 

Sincerly, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I have recently reviewed copies of my personal consumer credit reports and found questionable and/or inadequately verified data in the records maintained by your company. It appears that this information, previously removed, may have been re-added to my credit profile by your office ( s ) without the required XXXX notice, a violation of the reporting regulations you are obliged to follow. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), any information that has been deleted should not be reinserted into a consumer 's credit profile without directly notifying the affected consumer in writing within XXXX business days of such reinsertion. I have not received any such notice or validation confirming the accuracy and completeness of the reinstated data.

On or around XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX responded to CFPB complaints XXXX and XXXX, claiming the account/tradeline with XXXX was being reported with factual accuracy, and alleged " the credit reporting agencies have their own policy for reporting the information that is displayed. '' She made clear that XXXX would neither acknowledge nor respond to any future CFPB complaints without additional documentation. It is all but clear the acc/tradeline is NOT being reported with maximum possible accuracy. For example, XXXX reports the date of first delinquency in XX/XX/XXXX, which is a month in which the account was paid as agreed. Likewise, Experian reports a charge-off beginning in XX/XX/XXXX after a ninety ( 90 ) day delinquency. The heart of the issue appears to be a date of first delinquency with each. And, while Experian and XXXX may be responsible for the data they report, the fact is XXXX  itself has verified the account information reported by Experian and XXXX as accurate since the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX, even when a cursory review of the information reported for the acct/tradeline, and verified as " factually accurate, '' by XXXX itself, would lead any reasonable individual to conclude the information is false/misleading/inaccurate and does not meet the maximum possible accuracy required by 15 U.S. Code 1681e. In fact, Experian not only verified the information it was reporting as accurate with XXXX, but additionally requested, and allegedly, updated the information such that the information reported by Experian is the factually accurate data XXXX alleges it's furnishing to Experian. At this point it does not appear XXXX and Experian are able to reconcile the account/tradeline and as such the payment history, payment status, and narratives for the account need to be removed.

I am presenting this complaint to express my appreciation for your previous efforts in removing some of the fraudulent inquiries from my credit file, which were a result of an alleged identity theft incident. However, there remain several items that require immediate attention and removal. This marks my third complaint, underscoring my status as a victim of identity theft, and I am disputing these specific items in my Experian file resulting from this crime. The items in question are unrelated to any transactions wherein I obtained possession of goods, services, or money, nor have I authorized such transactions. I urgently request the removal of the reporting of these items in my credit file, as they are unknown to me. Additionally, I have reservations about the accuracy of the reported history on these items, given that the information provided has already been deleted from other bureaus. As mandated by FCRA Section 605b, Credit Bureaus are required to remove any items listed on an identity theft report.
