Consumer Complaint Regarding Identity Theft and Unauthorized Account Reporting Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding identity theft and unauthorized account reporting on my credit report. I believe that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) have been violated, specifically in relation to 15 U.S. Code 1681b, 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( 1 ), and 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( 2 ). Name : XXXX XXXX Email : XXXX Date : XX/XX/2023 The specific issue I am encountering involves several unauthorized accounts, including XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX, XXXX XXXX  account number XXXX, XXXX XXXX account number XXXX and,. I have never provided written consent for these accounts, and I strongly believe that they are a result of identity theft. The FCRA clearly states that consumer reporting agencies must obtain written consent before furnishing a consumer report to any party, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681b. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( 1 ) mandates the prevention of identity theft by blocking any information resulting from such an incident, without the need for written consent. Despite notifying the credit bureau and providing evidence supporting my claim of identity theft, the unauthorized accounts have not been removed from my credit report. This failure to address the issue is a violation of my rights under the FCRA. I kindly request your assistance in investigating this matter and ensuring that the credit bureau takes appropriate action to rectify the situation. I am seeking the immediate deletion of the unauthorized accounts from my credit report, as required by law. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution to this dispute and the protection of my consumer rights. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

In XX/XX/XXXX I closed my AMEX Platinum card and at the time of closing I did not have a balance or any pending charges. Much later I noticed a 30 and 60 day delinquency ( XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX respectively ) associated with the account on my credit reports. I had not been notified of any balance and did not have access to the card 's online dashboard after closing the card. Knowledge of charges occurring months after account closing are not the customer 's responsibility ; it is the responsibility of the credit card company to either prevent these charges from occurring in the first place or to make the customer aware of their existence. In Q4 XXXX I called AMEX to get an explanation of the charges which they were not able to provide. I explained that I was not made aware of these charges or their late status and would be happy to pay whatever I owed but would like the derogatory credit marks to be removed as the charges were clearly added months after the account was closed. I was told by the representative that the marks would be removed and after several months no action had been taken. In XX/XX/XXXX I filed disputes with each of the credit reporting bureaus but the marks were not removed, only an on time payment status was added to my credit reports for XX/XX/XXXX.
