In late XXXX, my landlord had filed an unlawful eviction notice and I was the only one in my family making income during the midst of a global pandemic, and while my family and I were in shock, I decided to pursue buying a home, and a lender asked to pull my credit. i am an individual who mostly uses my debit card or cash to pay bills and have only had 1 or 2 credit cards and would pay in full and not be involved in my credit as there was no need. When the lender pulled my credit, they told me I had two charge-offs on my credit reports for XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX and I was taken back and completely caught off guard. The two charge offs were from XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXXXXXX XXXX both of which I have never opened a credit card with, never authorized, applied, or used from either company. For almost a year, I disputed the fraudulent accounts with the credit bureaus by sending debt validation letters, proof of debt, wet ink signature, method of application, statements, charges, etc. and an explanation on how the credit bureaus can continue to report fraudulent accounts I never authorized and was not aware of. I decided to also file an identity theft police report, which was approved by the XXXX XXXX Police Department and also changed passwords on the two cards I had, placed extended fraud alerts on all three bureaus, and made sure my personal information ( which was a mess, incorrect names, old addresses, old phone numbers and incorrect employers I had never worked for ) was up to date and accurate to ensure the accounts got removed. No credit bureaus removed the accounts after seeing an approved identity theft police report, which I sent and attached to my dispute. I have filed another identity theft affidavit and I am asking the CFPB to remove both fraudulent accounts by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX on all credit reports and immediately updated as deleted. I will not tolerate FCRA violations, and both these companies harassing me and sending me debt collection letters on accounts I never opened, authorized, or even knew existed. The CFPB has a legal obligation to force the credit bureaus to remove the two charge-offs and allow me to properly build back my financial picture which was damaged at no fault of my own. I will provide as much documentation I can to help this process go smoothly.

I trust this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my ongoing frustration and disappointment with the persistent issue of late open accounts associated with my account, despite my prior attempts to address and rectify this matter. 

I previously communicated my concerns, outlining the numerous attempts I had made to resolve the late open account issue. Regrettably, the matter has not been adequately addressed, and the problem persists, causing considerable inconvenience. 

I would like to recap the previous attempts made to rectify the situation : Initiated contact with your customer service department to inquire about and address the late open account. 

Follow-up communication with customer service after the initial inquiry did not yield a satisfactory resolution. 

Submitted written documentation and supporting evidence to demonstrate the discrepancy in the open account.

Escalated the matter to a supervisor or manager within your organization, seeking a more authoritative intervention.

Despite these efforts, the late open account issue continues to persist, and it is disheartening to note that my concerns have not been adequately addressed. This situation has not only impacted my trust in your company but has also affected my financial stability and overall satisfaction as a customer.

I understand that issues may arise, but the lack of resolution and communication regarding this matter is unacceptable. I kindly request your immediate attention to this ongoing problem, with a commitment to resolving the late open account issue promptly. 

I expect a thorough investigation into the root cause of this problem and a comprehensive response outlining the steps your company will take to rectify the situation. Additionally, I request transparent communication regarding the timeframe within which I can expect a resolution. 

If this matter is not addressed satisfactorily within the specified timeframe from the date of this letter, I may be compelled to explore alternative avenues to seek redress. I am asking for your assistance to correct these late open accounts in my credit file : XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1700.00}.

I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

On my Self Visa reporting credit card reports twice on separate dates but both should reflect the Statement date amount but does not. The XXXX at 0-10 % utilization but XXXX  XXXX is showing the amount AFTER I pay my statement date as % XXXX. Its a small credit bureau user hack ( hidden factor ) that has been weighing my score down for years!! It may be intentional or purposeful as it should reflect the amount on my statement date it reflects the amount after I use the credit after the statements date. Self Visa app reports may be behind it.

You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct.

You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 
Please be advised that your company continues to report these unverifiable and incomplete items. These accounts can be considered falsified revenue and illegal by the IRS due to the fact these said accounts have been written off as a tax deduction.

On the dates of XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to the agency through certified mail, informing them that I had been subjected to identity theft. Yet, as of XX/XX/XXXX, the agency persists in including the fraudulent information in their reports. Under Section XXXX, which covers the Blocking of Information Resulting From Identity Theft, it is mandated that consumer reporting agencies alert the entities providing the information, such as banks, that the details might stem from an instance of identity theft, corroborated by an identity theft report. I supplied them with the FTC report number XXXX, along with a requested block on the disputed information. Following such notification, Section XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) obligates the providers of this information to cease the reporting of any details in a consumer 's file that the consumer flags as resulting from identity theft. This action should be taken no more than 4 business days following the receipt of ( 1 ) proper verification of the consumer 's identity ; ( 2 ) a duplicate of the identity theft report ; ( 3 ) consumer indication of the specific information in question; and ( 4 ) a declaration from the consumer that the disputed information does not pertain to any transactions initiated by them. 
I have fulfilled all four of these stipulations, and documentation supporting this claim will be appended to my complaint. Currently, the agency has not adhered to the Federal Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S. Code 1681c2, which obligates the blockage of any information in my file that I have pinpointed as deriving from identity theft within 4 business days of them receiving such notice. This neglect constitutes a breach of law and renders the agency civilly liable for willful non-compliance, with me entitled to any actual damages incurred as a consequence of this oversight, as per 15 U.S. Code 1681n.
