Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
Its with real disappointment that I have to keep pushing on these inaccuracies. You'd think, with all the scrutiny on the credit reporting industry lately Like the CFPB 's been quite active in addressing issues like the headlines about settlements and fines against those who don't play by the rules like the recent action against each of the major 3 credit reporting agencies aka the so-called XXXX CRAs. As examples ( XXXX ) CFPB Orders Equifax to Pay {$15.00} XXXX for Improper Investigations of Credit Reporting Errors, ( 2 ) On XX/XX/XXXX, the Bureau filed a lawsuit against Experian Information Solutions , Inc., alleging that Experian violated FCRA by failing to properly conduct reinvestigations of disputed information in consumer credit files ; failing to delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverified information in consumer credit files ; failing to provide adequate written notice to consumers of the results of its reinvestigations ; failing to prevent the improper reinsertion of previously deleted information from consumer credit files ; and failing to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the credit information Experian reports on consumers, and more even. Literally, CFPB sues Experian for sham investigations! Plus, in XXXX, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) took several actions against credit bureaus, including TransUnion, for violations of consumer financial protection laws. These actions focused on issues like inaccurate credit reports, failures to timely address security freezes, and the reporting of debts, particularly misreported medical debt. This led to a huge TransUnion fine for inaccurate eviction records. And more, the CFPB took actions against data brokers, proposing a rule to clarify that data brokers ARE subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ESPECIALLY when they sell sensitive consumer information. that basic accuracy would be a given. Yet here we are. These errors are impacting my life, and I need your firm commitment to investigate and rectify them immediately. Its about more than just my report ; its about ensuring the system works as it should for everyone. 
I respectfully close with sincerity!

Complaint narrative:
CFPB Complaint Summary Subject : Failure to Investigate & Remove Fraudulent Accounts and Inaccurate Personal Information in Violation of the FCRA I am filing this complaint because multiple credit bureausEquifax, XXXX, and XXXX failed to investigate and remove fraudulent accounts and incorrect personal information from my credit reports, despite repeated disputes and submission of supporting documentation, including an FTC Identity Theft Report. 

I have disputed the following issues with all three bureaus multiple times ( via online portals, written letters, emails, and phone calls ) : Fraudulent accounts opened without my authorization ( including accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ). 

Inaccurate personal information, including incorrect addresses, SSN variations, and name spellings, that do not belong to me and are not associated with any legitimate credit activity. 

Despite these efforts and my FTC Identity Theft Report, the bureaus continue to report these accounts, violating FCRA 1681e ( b ), 1681i, and 1681c-2. I have also requested that the accounts be blocked from future reporting, as allowed under the FCRA, but have received no adequate resolution or written confirmation. 

This ongoing inaction is damaging my credit, affecting my financial stability, and exposing me to continued risk of identity theft. I am requesting the CFPB to assist in compelling the credit bureaus and furnishers to : Permanently delete all fraudulent accounts from my credit reports. 

Remove all inaccurate addresses, names, and SSN variations.

Block these items from future re-reporting in compliance with federal law.

Provide me with written confirmation of deletion within the required 30-day period. 

I have attached copies of my FTC Identity Theft Report, government-issued ID, and utility bill to verify my identity and support my claims.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
