I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim. It is alarming that despite my genuine concerns and efforts to rectify inaccuracies resulting from identity theft, your bureau has failed to address my disputes effectively. The accounts in question are causing significant distress and have the potential to adversely affect my financial well-being. I have diligently followed the necessary procedures to dispute these accounts, and I have seen positive responses from other credit bureaus. I am now at a loss to understand why your bureau persists in denying my legitimate claims. The repeated denials not only defy the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) but also indicate a disregard for the rights and well-being of consumers.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally demand the immediate cessation and deletion of any and all negatively impacting, inaccurate, and unverifiable accounts that are being reported by your agency. As a consumer, I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to ensure that the information furnished by your agency is fair, accurate, and substantiated.

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified several accounts that are both inaccurate and unverifiable. The inclusion of these accounts is unjust and could potentially damage my creditworthiness. As per my rights outlined in the FCRA, I am formally requesting that these accounts be fully deleted and suppressed from my credit report. These accounts are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Moreover, I invoke the doctrine of estoppel, which prohibits an entity from asserting something contrary to what is implied by a previous action or statement. The inaccurate and unverifiable nature of these accounts contradicts the very essence of fair and accurate reporting, therefore warranting their immediate removal.

I demand that you conduct a thorough investigation into these matters and provide me with a written response within the timeline stipulated by the FCRA. This should include confirmation of the deletion and suppression of the aforementioned accounts from all credit reports in which they have been disseminated.

Failure to comply with this request within the stipulated timeframe will leave me no choice but to pursue legal action to rectify these inaccuracies. I am confident, however, that your agency will act in accordance with the law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MO)

I am reaching out to address a critical matter concerning XXXX XXXX inaccurate reporting on my consumer report, disseminated by XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, which I believe constitutes violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681s2.

The FCRA clearly states in 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( a ) that furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies have a " duty to provide accurate information. '' The law prohibits the furnishing of any information " if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. '' Moreover, the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) regulation is explicit, stating, " Even if you didn't receive a Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as gross income on your tax return. '' It is crucial to note that the IRS defines a charge-off as gross or ordinary income, emphasizing that " income does not get reported on the consumer report. '' Thus, any reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate and in violation of IRS regulations.

I urge the immediate correction of the account status to reflect " closed and paid as agreed. '' Additionally, the reporting of Charge Offs across all three credit reporting agencies by XXXX is inconsistent with 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information. The law specifically states, " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. '' In XX/XX/2020, I sent a dispute to XXXX, EQUIFAX, and XXXX yet XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and EQUIFAX are still reporting it on my consumer report, which is violating my consumer rights. 

The reporting of such inaccurate information has caused severe damage to my character, my reputation, my general mode of living, and my ability to obtain credit for personal and house purposes. It has damaged my livelihood. 

In light of the above, I formally request a method and mode of verification for each credit reporting agency to rectify these inaccuracies promptly. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will conduct a thorough investigation to ensure compliance with consumer protection laws. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report.

Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
