Complaint narrative:
Equifax Dispute Department XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute of Reinsertion and Inaccurate Reporting XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy and legality of the account reporting by XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, listed on my Equifax credit report. This account was previously deleted XX/XX/XXXX ( which equifax doesn't have it available anymore online ) and it should be it hasn't been a year ) and has been reinserted XX/XX/XXXX without proper notification as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to FCRA XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( B ) ( ii ), a credit bureau must notify the consumer within XXXX business days of any reinsertion of previously deleted information. I did not receive any such notice. 

Furthermore, the account shows that it was closed on XX/XX/XXXX, yet it lists the last payment as having been made on XX/XX/XXXX. This discrepancy in dates is misleading and suggests incomplete or inaccurate reporting. The payment history also reports XXXX XXXX late payment, but it is unclear when this occurred, and the payment status is listed as No Info, which contradicts the existence of any delinquency. These inconsistencies violate FCRA XXXX ( a ) and XXXX ( b ), which require furnishers to report complete and accurate information. 

Additionally, if the reinsertion occurred during an open reinvestigation, the account should not have been reported negatively in any capacity until the dispute was fully resolved, as guided by Regulation F and FCRA standards. 

I am requesting that Equifax conduct a thorough reinvestigation into this account. If it can not be verified with accurate and complete documentation, it must be permanently removed from my credit file. I request a written response detailing the outcome of this investigation. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Experian XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Subject : Dispute of Fraudulent Account and Request for Removal Dear Experian Dispute Department, I am writing to formally dispute an account on my credit report that I believe is fraudulent. The account in question was opened using my Social Security number without my authorization, and I did not initiate or approve this account. 

Specifically, the account was with AFFIRM and it appears to have been used in an attempt to obtain a Consumer Payment Number ( CPN ) using my personal information. I discovered this fraudulent activity after the account was placed on my credit report and subsequently sent to collections. 

I immediately contacted AFFIRM to clarify the situation. They initially claimed the account was mine, which caused me significant concern and panic. I then reported the incident to the police and contacted the firm again, after which they closed all associated accounts and assured me that the fraudulent account would be removed within 30 days. 

Despite this, the account remains on my credit report. I filed a formal dispute with your agency, and the firm has since confirmed that the account is fraudulent and that it should be removed. The account has already been paid off due to the circumstances, but it is still negatively affecting my credit score. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to dispute inaccurate or fraudulent information, and I kindly request that this account be thoroughly investigated and removed from my credit report as soon as possible. This account is not mine, and I have taken all necessary steps to resolve this matter. 

Please provide written confirmation once the fraudulent account has been removed. I appreciate your prompt attention to this serious matter. They said that were going to remove it and take care of it, but this process is lengthy and I already paid them. They got their money for something that I did not even do and I want this removed. I also have two inquiries that are due to follow up XX/XX/year> and they are still on there. Can you please remove as well. 

Thank you for your assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
