I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. 
This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a XXXX & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected.This is a defamation to my character and this is a federal law violation. 
According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. 
Also it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can be can get sued for these damages. This is negatively effecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

Someone other than myself opened a  Capital One credi t card account using my email address. I do not have any association or accounts wit h Capital One.  I 've contacte d Capital One to  determine if the person used any other info of mine, and it seems like they did not ( my  SSN  was not in the system, for instance ). However, since I am getting their emails that only contain the last  4 digits  of their account number, I do n't have enough account information for them to stop using my email. When I call, I ca n't provide the full account number, or the account holder 's SSN or name. But obviously the person associated with that account should be getting the emails. Could you help me get  Capital One  to stop sending me emails meant for another person?

I contacted Experian and explained to them that my name is not correct on my XXXX. One name that is on my credit report as the same name as a person who lives close to me from Florida. I had to go threw a lot to get all his matter that was on my report off my report. And the other name on there, is wanted for murder, and I am always getting asked if I am that person. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, it shows this on my XXXX XXXX and it shows it like this on my birth certificate. I contacted Experian 2 times in the month of XX/XX/2020, and explain this to them, both times I was told everything was off, and just my name appears on their. But when I go on line, I see different. So the second person I asked him to send me a copy of my Experian credit report. And just like it was on line, my info was still incorrect. I asked to speak to a supervisor multiple times, and keep being stuck in que on hold for hours. I just want my name and address correct, it is to much fraudulent things going on, and I am just trying to protect myself. And I should have only one address, Ive lived at this address for over 40 years. Sorry for this, but I cant reach out to Experian, their customer service is horrible.

Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

I have contacted ( Collection Agency ) and ( Original Creditor ) and explained to them which I was transferred several times, disrespected but the customer service rep after explaining to them the situation that they have the wrong person.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

On XX/XX/2021 I reached out to Experian to have a fraud alert removed from my credit file considering it has never worked to prevent credit inquiries and inaccuracies. Per the rep she verified my information and advised she had removed the fraud alert. I called on XX/XX/2021 to confirm the fraud alert had been removed from my credit file and was told it was still there and it was an active-duty alert. I asked her how is this possible when I have never served in the military. She could not explain and told me I needed to speak to another department to have it removed and they were closed for the day. I am so frustrated with the credit bureaus because they are adding things to my credit file that is inaccurate and invalid. I also noticed several invalid addresses, names, inquires and accounts on my report and I have disputed them several times before and they remain on my credit file.
