I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my disappointment with the initial attempt made to remove fraudulent items from my account. 

Unfortunately, the initial attempt to address this issue has been inadequate. Despite providing all necessary documentation and details to support my claim, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. The fraudulent charges remain on my account, causing me considerable stress and financial burden. 

As a loyal customer, I expected a more efficient and proactive response from your company in resolving this matter. The failure to promptly remove the fraudulent items from my account has not only compromised my financial security but has also eroded my trust in your company 's ability to protect its customers from fraudulent activity. 

I urge you to take immediate action to rectify this situation. I request that you expedite the process of removing the fraudulent items from my account and provide me with clear communication regarding the steps being taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future. 

Furthermore, I believe it is reasonable to request compensation for the inconvenience and distress caused by this oversight. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves and provide me with a satisfactory resolution promptly. With this, I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraud items in my credit file : 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 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 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

Filed a complaint on XX/XX/XXXX with CFPB against XXXX credit complaint # XXXX for negatively reporting on Experian. 

On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX responded to my CFPB complaint and agreed to contact XXXX, Experian and update the account status from " Paid in settlement '' to " Paid in Full ''. 

Account was not updated. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX and verified this account is reflected as paid in full. I received a letter verifying the account is closed. The letter does not state " paid in settlement ''. 

To date, Experian still negatively reports the XXXX account as " paid in settlement '' and as " verified '' Experian refuses to accurately report the status to reflect " Paid in Full '' per XXXX 's directive as stated in the second to last paragraph in XXXX 's CFPB response to my complaint. 

Experian has willfully and deliberately damaged my credit rating by continuing to report this account as a " verified '' negative item for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Dear, CFPB I am writing to formally complain about the fraudulent reporting of an account on my XXXX credit report by XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that XXXX has inaccurately listed an account that does not belong to me. This erroneous reporting not only tarnishes my credit history but also violates my consumer rights to privacy and accuracy in credit reporting. 

Pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX, I assert that I do not owe any debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX any affiliated entity. Therefore, the inclusion of this account on my credit report is not only unjust but also illegal under federal law. I demand immediate removal of this inaccurate information from my credit report to rectify the damage caused to my creditworthiness and reputation. 

Furthermore, it has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX is not licensed and bonded in my state to collect debts. This raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of their operations and their compliance with state regulations. As such, I question the validity of their claim and request proof of authorization to collect debts in my jurisdiction. 

I expect prompt action to rectify this matter and restore the accuracy and integrity of my credit report. Failure to do so will result in further escalation of this issue to the appropriate regulatory authorities and legal entities. I urge you to take this matter seriously and address it with the urgency and attention it requires. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this complaint and provide a timeline for resolution. I can be reached at my contact information listed below to discuss this matter further. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Midland credit management. I called the number and XXXX answered phone. I told his company to send me a confirmation of debt. This needs to be wet signatures of all the items they claim I charged. They sent me a bill statement which is not a confirmation of debt. XXXX claims this account was verified by his company. Then I said it was confirmed by who, where, how and by who. Was it confirmed by a lawyer etc. I need the name address and phone number of person. Then I asked if he was based in the United States and he said he was from XXXX. I am verifying he is a independent person who does not understand the rules of United States. This debt is not mine. If all debts are written off for tax purposes and the debt collector buys the debt isnt this double billing?

Hi! I recently checked my credit statement and saw a hard inquiry by JPMCB XXXX. I never applied and I'm unsure if an account was open.
