Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date : XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Report Entries from XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal dispute regarding inaccurate credit report entries from XXXX, XXXX XXXX have been reported to my credit file. Specifically, I have discovered XXXX accounts from XXXX XXXX XXXX reporting late payments dating from XX/XX/XXXX to the present. I am concerned that these entries are fraudulent, as I have never opened any accounts with XXXX, XXXX. 
Upon reviewing my credit report, I was alarmed to find that these accounts were linked to my personal information, and late payments have been reported that I did not incur. I believe that my personal identification ( ID ) has been compromised, and that someone may have opened these accounts fraudulently in my name without my knowledge or consent. 
I have already attempted to resolve this issue directly with XXXX XXXX XXXX, but unfortunately, my efforts have not resulted in any resolution or assistance from the company. Additionally, I have contacted XXXX, XXXX of the major credit bureaus, to dispute these entries and provided them with all necessary documentation to verify my claims. However, despite these efforts, the accounts remain on my credit report. 
I would like to formally request that these accounts be deleted from my credit report, as they were opened without my consent and I did not authorize any third party, including XXXX XXXX XXXX, to share my personal information. As a consumer, I am entitled to have accurate and fair information reported about my credit history, and I am requesting that you assist me in rectifying this matter. 
Please investigate this situation promptly and ensure that these fraudulent accounts are removed from my credit file. I have attached relevant documentation, including my dispute correspondence with XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my communication with XXXX, to support my case. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to protect my rights as a consumer and to assist in the removal of these fraudulent accounts from my credit report. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX FTC Report XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''
