Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Correction of Credit Report Information Removal of " Dead Name '' Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to bring to your attention an issue regarding my credit report that requires your assistance. I recently became aware that my credit report contains outdated and inaccurate information associated with my former legal name, commonly referred to as my " dead name. '' I have legally changed my name, and the court has officially recognized me as [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ]. The issue arises from the fact that my " dead name '' continues to be linked to my credit report, causing potential complications and concerns for my financial well-being. 

Furthermore, my personal information has been compromised due to the XXXX security breach, which exposed my details to the dark web and hackers. I am deeply concerned about the potential misuse of my outdated information, and I believe it is crucial to rectify this situation promptly. 

I kindly request the following actions : Removal of Dead Name : I request that you promptly remove any references to my former legal name from my credit report. Please update the information to reflect only my current legal name. 

Verification of Identity : To ensure the accuracy of this correction, I am willing to provide any necessary documentation to verify my identity and the legal name change.

Investigation of Security Breach Impact : I would appreciate it if the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau could investigate the impact of the XXXX security breach on my personal information and take appropriate measures to safeguard my financial data. 

I have attached a copy of the court order confirming my legal name change for your reference. Additionally, I authorize the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to access any relevant information needed to address this matter. 

I understand the importance of accurate credit reporting, and I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue. Please inform me of the steps being taken to rectify this situation and provide updates on the progress of the investigation. 

Thank you for your time and assistance in resolving this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution of this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I logged complaint # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX responded saying they would reinvestigate the complaint and respond in " up to '' 30-days. Well it has now been 32 days and they are in direct violation of my F.C.R.A rights. Now that they have failed to provide a resolution in the 30 day time period I demand the inaccurate reporting placed on my credit report by XXXX XXXX be deleted. I logged complaint # XXXX on XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and they sent a simple reply " we need more time to investigate '' on XX/XX/XXXX and no further response sense then. I do not care that CFPB gives up to 60-days to resolve a matter F.C.R.A says 30 days is sufficient. I have disputed this multiple times over several years to only get ignored by both the bank and credit bureau. I will proceed with legal matter if this is not deleted and a response is provided in a timely manner. 

I do see where XXXX sent the same request they always send to XXXX which is asking them to verify the debt, and yet again XXXX sent back a letter saying it was verified. 
I AM NOT DISPUTING THE DEBT IS MINE, I NEVER HAVE DISPUTED THAT FACT!!!! 
IT IS THE SIMPLE MATTER THAT XXXX LOGGED THIS ON MY REPORT AS CHARGE OFF, THE SAME MONTH THEY AGREED TO ACCEPT A DEBT REPAYMENT PLAN, AND THE SAME MONTH THEY RECEIVED THEIR FIRST PAYMENT VIA THE REPAYMENT PLAN. THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN REPORTED AS A CHARGE OFF. 

I initially logged my CFPB complaint on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX even though they provided a brief response on XX/XX/XXXX the clock legally starts from the day I logged my complaint. So they are way over their time limit to provide a resolution. XXXX also mailed a copy of about two or three statements from XXXX, with no cover letter or explanation as to why I am receiving those ; So I am hoping their incompetent staff do not think that was a valid response, it clearly doesn't address my complaint. 

Also CFPB has failed to hold both the credit bureau and creditor responsible, I am perusing information on how to file against CFPB for their lack of assistance as well.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I was once an authorized user on XXXX credit card account ( ending in XXXX ). My association with this account has been terminated and I am not, nor have I ever been financially responsible for the debt associated with it. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received written notification from XXXX that I am no longer an authorized user of the account. I requested that Equifax remove the account from my credit report via their online dispute process. I disputed the account on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Each time I've disputed the account, Equifax reports : [ " We have researched the credit account. The results are : WE VERIFIED THAT THIS ITEM BELONGS TO YOU. '' ] I received notification from Equifax that they are unable to remove the account from my credit report because XXXX continues to verify that the item belongs to me. Equifax has updated the account as " account ownership terminated '' however Equifax informed me that the account would remain on my credit report due to not only receiving verfication from XXXX that the account belongs to me but also due to XXXX continuing to report monthly historical information of the account to my Equifax credit report. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a letter to the XXXX Credit Bureau Disputes department requesting information and requesting that they discontinue any and all monthly reporting of the account to Equifax due to my non-ownership of the account. I have not received communication from XXXX since my request.
