I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction regarding the persistent presence of fraudulent accounts on my credit report. Upon reporting the case of identity theft, I promptly contacted the companies associated with these fraudulent accounts. While they acknowledged the validity of the report, they expressed their inability to provide records. Nevertheless, they assured me that the fraudulent accounts would be promptly removed upon submission of the required FTC report. 

XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

It is noteworthy that both XXXX and XXXX have already purged these accounts from their records after identifying and correcting an error. I am puzzled by the continuation of verification for these accounts by your bureau when other agencies have already eliminated them. I urge you to expunge these accounts from my file, as they are inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. I insist on immediate action to remove these fraudulent accounts from my credit report, as the companies have acknowledged their fraudulent nature and agreed to their removal. Please delete these fraudulent accounts promptly, as they are the result of identity theft.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX)

This is in response to complaint XXXX. You are reporting the late payment for the wrong month, and this should be removed immediately. Your incorrect reporting has caused extreme hardship. You stated that there was a carrying balance from XXXX, and that everything was paid in XXXX so why is there a late payment reporting in XXXX instead of XXXX? It is recommended that data furnishers follow the XXXX guidance when they furnish consumer credit information to the three credit bureaus, and it is very clear that Bank of America has failed to do so. I may sue you in any qualified state or federal court, including small claims court in my area. While I prefer not to litigate, I will use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under then FCRA. As Im sure you are aware, each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter end up in court. If you fail to remove this inaccurate information, I will take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. I will fully exercise my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I look forward to an uneventful resolution of this matter.

On XX/XX/2024, I provided Equifax with a letter informing them that I am a victim of identity theft. In addition to that letter, I also provided Equifax with a copy of my Identity Theft Report, proof of my identity, and a copy of section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires Equifax to block the fraudulent information on my credit report resulting from identity theft within four business days and to promptly notify the furnisher ( s ) of that information. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681g, I have the right to demand that Equifax disclose to me all of the documents that they have recorded and retained in their files at the time of this request concerning the accounts that resulted from identity theft. I requested copies of the documents that were used to verify the accounts. I did not receive those documents and Equifax continued to furnish information about the accounts for which I submitted an identity theft report. The consumer reporting agency did not reasonably determine that ( A ) the information was blocked in error or a block was requested by the consumer in error ; ( B ) the information was blocked, or a block was requested by the consumer, on the basis of a material misrepresentation of fact by the consumer relevant to the request to block ; or ( C ) the consumer obtained possession of goods, services, or money as a result of the blocked transaction or transactions. Equifax did not have a valid reason to decline or rescind the block. Which is violating my rights under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ).

XXXX XXXXXXXX credit card was opened XXXX XXXX, XXXX under my info. and I called XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX when I realized the situation after I had my police report on XX/XX/XXXX. The XXXX XXXXXXXX agents told me nothing to worry since they already cancel the fraudulent card. And I confirmed with them repeatedly anyway, every time they assure me that the card has been cancelled and I have nothing to worry. After 1 month or so, I noticed there was a significant balance on my credit report with a XXXX XXXXXXXX credit card. And I start disputing with XXXX XXXX. I submitted documents and police reports to different supervisors since I have to call them over XXXX times about the issue, and every time the different supervisors gave me different requirements. I tried my best to follow and wish they will take care of this issue carefully since I am the victim and it is so obvious. All my other financial frauds with other banks/credit cards have been solved without any problem. But, XXXX XXXX insist I should responsible for the fraud and won't tell me the reason. It has been a very unpleasant experience with XXXX XXXX. It is the first credit card issuer I called to warn the identity stolen and I was assured by their agents, but it turned out XXXX XXXX never take care of it and put all the responsibility on the victim without any reason. 

And I started disputing this fraud on XXXX file number XXXX Data issued XX/XX/XXXX and Experian Report # XXXX on XXXX XXXX with all the supporting documents, but the XXXX/experian did not work this out, they insist XXXX can't remove it since XXXX XXXX doesn't remove it. All the experience is bad and XXXX/experian supposed to be a third party not work for XXXX XXXX, they should have their own investigation and contact me whatever needed to support my case.

And XXXX credit report significantly hurt my credit score and my financial life, I am looking for law help to protect my own right. And XXXX need to correct the credit report immediately.
