XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX, OH XXXX Phone : XXXX Re : Dispute of Account # XXXX ( Previously : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally dispute the validity of the above-referenced debt based on my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692e. This provision prohibits a debt collector from using any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in the collection of any debt.

Furthermore, I have concerns regarding potential violations related to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681, regarding permissible purposes for furnishing consumer reports.

I also want to underscore that according to guidelines from the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), any deceptive debt collection practices may result in severe penalties.

Please review this matter and provide evidence that supports the validity of the debt in question. If you can not validate this debt, I expect its removal from my credit report and a written confirmation once it has been done.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I anticipate a timely response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

On XX/XX/2022, I utilized the credit card pre qualification link on the banking website. The system approved me under Application ID : XXXX. The Truist XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card ending in XXXX was issued and received by me. On that same day, I applied for a Truist XXXX  Checking account and received email approval under Application IDXXXX for account number ending in : XXXX. On XX/XX/2022, the Truist credit card pre qualification link approved me for the Truist XXXX XXXX card under Application ID : XXXX. On XX/XX/2022, I received an email from Truist advising that debit card ending in XXXX is on the way, I never received it.Three small dollar balance transfers were completed by Truist to card ending in XXXX ( documents attached ). Also, I have attached the interest rate disclosures sent with card ending in : XXXX and XXXX. My reasoning behind applying for the multiple cards in a brief period is that I do not allow any of my individual credit card to reach more than thirty percent of the total credit limit. My listing of credit cards with all major credit reporting repositories will show significant credit lines along with monthly payments on each card totaling much more than the minimum payment. Additionally, my credit reports reflect a newly opened non escrow mortgage from fourteen months ago, showing on time payments and a balance of XXXX.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I reviewed a copy of my credit report and I noticed that there are some fraud accounts listed on my report. I have previously reached out to the credit bureau to rectify this affair but they have been negligent in complying with my request. The disputed information is not related to any transaction made by me. 
I have previously disputed this information and received a response that the creditor verified the information. However, this verification was inadequate and violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., which governs the accuracy and completeness of consumer credit reports. The creditor and credit reporting agency did not provide me with the name of the person who verified the information or any evidence that the creditor conducted a proper verification. The creditor and credit reporting agency did not update the balance or the date of the account as required by the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 2 ). Furthermore, you failed to conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days ( or 45 days in some cases ) of receiving my notice and report the results of the investigation to me as required by the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 
Please investigate this matter and update my credit report accordingly using the XXXX XXXX format and in compliance with the consumer law from the USC, Title 15, Chapter 41, Subchapter V, which protects consumers from unfair or deceptive acts or practices in connection with credit transactions. 

I have enclosed a copy of my identity theft report as proof of identity theft, a copy of my ID, Social security card.

Company: Upgrade, Inc. (CA)

I was approved for a loan in XXXX of XXXX. The term was two years. My final payment was due XX/XX/XXXX. I made several attempts to make the final payment via their website and I received an error message. Afraid that resubmitting my payment would cause double the amount to be withdrawn from my checking account I logged off. I waited a few days to see if the payment would go through. I logged on again XX/XX/XXXX and not only did I get the same error message but now I see there's a late fee! I called their customer service line and was left on hold for 6 minutes the first time, 10 minutes the second time and I waited 10.5 minutes the third time when one of their agents suddenly disconnected the call. I believe this is Upgrade 's attempt to charge me additional fees and to negatively impact my credit.
