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 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. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concern and dissatisfaction with the recent investigation conducted by your bureau regarding a disputed late payment on my account with XXXXXXXX XXXX, account number ending in XXXX. 
On XX/XX/2024, I submitted a request for investigation, clearly stating that I have never been late on any payments for this account. I provided you with the necessary details, including my expectation that your agency would conduct a thorough investigation and provide either proof of the alleged late payment or update the record to reflect that all payments were made on time. 
To my dismay, I was informed that your investigation concluded the late payment was " verified '' without any proof or supporting documentation provided to me. This response is both unsatisfactory and concerning, as it suggests a lack of due diligence in your investigation process. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are obligated to ensure that all information reported is accurate and to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the information. The failure to provide proof of the late payment or to correct the error is a clear violation of these responsibilities. 
I demand that this matter be re-investigated with proper attention to detail, including : 1. Providing documented proof of the alleged late payment, such as account statements or communication from the creditor.

2. Correcting the inaccurate information on my credit report if proof can not be provided, reflecting that all payments were made on time.

3. Providing a detailed explanation of the investigation process that was followed and the specific steps taken to verify the information. 
Please consider this letter a formal complaint. I expect a response within 15 days, as stipulated under the FCRA. If the matter is not resolved to my satisfaction, I will have no choice but to escalate this issue to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider further legal action. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift and accurate resolution of this issue. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: LJ Ross Associates
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against L J Ross Associates Inc. for reporting a debt on my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit report that was previously removed due to identity theft. This debt was originally removed in XX/XX/XXXX following a successful dispute that confirmed the debt was a result of identity theft. Despite the debt 's removal, it has reappeared on my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit report, causing significant distress and potential harm to my creditworthiness. This re-reporting violates several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). **Violation of FCRA : ** 1. **Re-Insertion of Previously Deleted Information : ** Under the FCRA , specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), if information that has been deleted from a credit report is reinserted, the consumer reporting agency must notify the consumer of the reinsertion in writing within five business days. I did not receive any such notification from XXXX regarding the reinsertion of this debt. 2. **Accuracy of Information : ** Under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. The reappearance of this debt, which was confirmed to be a result of identity theft, violates this requirement. **Violation of FDCPA : ** 1. **Failure to Provide Validation of Debt : ** Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), if a consumer disputes the validity of a debt, the debt collector must cease collection of the debt until it obtains verification of the debt. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. has failed to provide any such validation despite my previous dispute and the confirmed removal of this debt. 2. **Unfair Practices : ** According to 15 U.S.C. 1692e, a debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. Reporting a debt that was previously identified and removed as a result of identity theft is both deceptive and misleading. **Supporting Legal Cases : ** 1. **XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) : ** This case supports the need for credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of an item on their credit report. XXXX. *XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : ** This case emphasizes the requirement for debt collectors to provide verification of the debt upon a consumer 's request, halting all collection activities until such verification is provided.
