I have been disputing Fraudulent Information on my credit report since XX/XX/XXXX. I have been waiting for their response but up until now, I haven't gotten anything from them. Regardless of the previous written request, the unverified items listed below are still reporting on my credit report in violation of federal law. The XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX Credit Bureaus failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law and continued reporting of unconfirmed information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes. Also, the Credit reporting agencies have violated the FCRA section 605b which states that the Credit Bureaus are required to remove any accounts and information resulting from the Identity Theft. By submitting this CFPB Complaint, I am requesting this information to be reviewed for completeness and accuracy and appropriateness. I would appreciate a timely response outlining the steps that will occur to resolve this matter.

I disputed these accounts on XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023 by letter, and with the CFPB electronically on XX/XX/2023 which is currently marked as closed and verified for these items. This means you are required to updated the report showing your completed investigation reports and proper statuses. I am showing below that these accounts are showing as " Account Not Disputed '' based on your most recent reporting as a credit bureau.

I am showing that the bankruptcy information that is being reported is inconsistent across bureaus. They have completely different court names & different filing dates. These were verified as accurate in the investigation you completed.

Furthermore, all of these accounts there is one account that Equifax in specific is not reporting " included in bankruptcy. '' This is a major violation that should have been done corrected from the start, if you concluded your investigation throuroughly. Now, you no longer have the chance to correct it. You need to delete these items. 

These inaccuracies are all serious violations of the FCRA and consumer rights of accurate reporting to my credit report. 

As a result of the negligence of your investigation not being done properly, & the numerous attempts I have made to ensure my information is being accurately reported, please delete these accounts immediately as you have violated my rights & the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

In XXXX of 2023 I noticed my excellent credit score had taken a severe decline. Upon checking into it, I noticed there was an item on my credit report that was erroneous. A collection agency, AFNI, INC., had reported that I was delinquent on a payment of {$1200.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is totally false. I do not have any financial relationship with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called AFNI to try to resolve the error, but of course they " were experiencing higher than normal call volume ''. Not only was I unable to contact them, they have never, ever, contacted me prior to or after placing the item on my credit report. I called XXXX to dispute the item but their " investigation '' verified the information to be accurate. That is not true. I had the same situation a few months ago, and I believe it was also from XXXX XXXX XXXX but a different collection agency. It was removed from my report. I suspect the first agency just sold the same bogus debt to another agency. 
I can not attach any supporting documents because there was never any relationship between me and XXXX XXXX XXXX so nothing exists.
