Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with the delayed removal of fraudulent items from my credit report and the multiple unsuccessful attempts to rectify this issue. I consider the handling of this matter unacceptable and am compelled to bring it to your attention formally. I discovered unauthorized and fraudulent items on my credit report. Recognizing the severity of the situation, I promptly contacted your institution to report the issue and request the immediate removal of these items. I was assured that corrective measures would be taken without undue delay. Regrettably, since my initial contact, these fraudulent items persist on my credit report. Despite repeated attempts to rectify the situation by contacting your customer service department, the issue remains unresolved, causing significant distress and concern on my part. I understand the importance of maintaining the accuracy of credit reports and the urgency of addressing fraudulent activities. The prolonged delay and multiple failed attempts to resolve this matter are not only frustrating but also damaging to my financial standing. In light of the gravity of the situation, I insist on an immediate and thorough investigation into the reasons for the delays and the failed attempts to remove the fraudulent items. I request a detailed explanation of the steps being taken to expedite the resolution of this matter and prevent such lapses in the future. Furthermore, I demand that you provide a formal, written confirmation of the removal of the fraudulent item within the exact timeframe of receiving this letter. I am asking for your assistance to remove the fraud items : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you today to once again dispute some accounts that appear on my credit report. As I mentioned in my previous letter, I have been a victim of identity theft, and several fraudulent accounts were opened in my name without my knowledge. I already forwarded the required FTC report to the companies and they have acknowledged that these accounts were fraudulent and have removed them. However, I have noticed that your bureau has continued to report these accounts, even though the other credit bureaus have already removed them. I would like to remind you that as a credit bureau, you are required by law to ensure that your records are accurate and up-to-date. By failing to remove these fraudulent accounts, you are not complying with the law and are putting me at risk of further harm.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Goodyear Tire/Cbna closed my account that was in excellent standing because of inactivity with my Good Year credit card. I was not informed of a time span that my card had to be used or it will be closed, I was not given any kind of notice before they closed my account, nor did they inform me that my account was closed. I found out through my credit monitoring that the account had been closed. After it was closed, I called Good Year, and I informed them that Good Year did not have many stores in my area and also the credit limit was not enough to get most repairs or maintenance on my car. By them closing my account, it affected my credit account in a negative way. It lowered my available credit, it changed my credit score which affected my rate for buying a house, getting a car loan or any other credit services. I contacted them and spoke with XXXX and then her supervisor XXXX. I asked them for some type of information to identify the recorded phone call, but they said there was no way to give me that. They only gave their first names. I asked for the recorded phone call, but they denied my request. I asked them to reinstate my Good Year account because it was messing up my credit score, but again they denied my request. I informed them that I opened this account in 2015 and it has been in good standing and why wasn't I given any kind of notice that they were closing my account. XXXX the supervisor said " they don't have to give me any notice '' I feel this is an unfair credit act especially when they can negatively affect my credit because I haven't used my card in a while. They are now reporting on my credit account " Account closed by credit grantor '' This looks bad on my report and has no kind of explanation as to why it was closed. I would like this whole entire Goodyear Tire/Cbna account completely removed from my credit report on all 3 of the major credit bureaus. These companies should not be able to close an account in good standing just because I haven't used their card. Also, without any kind of notice or warning.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute your recent investigation results regarding the inaccurate information on my Experian credit file. Your response indicated that Experian verified the account from XXXX XXXX XXXX as belonging to me. This assertion is demonstrably false and raises serious concerns about the integrity and thoroughness of your investigation. I previously provided the last four digits of my Social Security number to assist in locating my credit file, and I specified that the account in question does not belong to me. Despite my efforts and clear communication, your investigation failed to accurately address my concerns. Furthermore, I sent a debt validation letter directly to XXXX XXXX XXXX, to which they did not respond. Consequently, this fraudulent account has been removed from all three major credit bureaus, including Experian. The removal of this account by XXXX XXXX XXXX clearly indicates that the account was not valid. Given this fact, it is perplexing and troubling that Experian claims to have verified the validity of this account. It appears that your investigation did not take into account the comprehensive evidence I provided, nor did it adhere to the standards set forth by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, 15 USC 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) prohibits furnishing inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. By failing to remove this erroneous account from my credit report, Experian is in direct violation of this statute. Moreover, XXXX 's actionsor lack thereofconstitute a willful noncompliance with the FCRA, as outlined in 15 USC 1681n. This statute provides for civil liability for willful noncompliance, allowing affected consumers to seek actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney 's fees. Therefore, I am prepared to pursue litigation to hold Experian accountable for these violations and seek {$1000.00} per infraction as stipulated by law. In light of these violations and the distress and financial harm caused by your negligent handling of my dispute, I am formally demanding compensation of {$1000.00} for this violation, as provided under 15 USC 1681n. Please be advised that I am giving Experian one final opportunity to rectify this situation and compensate me for this violation. I demand the immediate and permanent removal of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account from my credit report and the payment of {$1000.00} for your failure to comply with the FCRA. Failure to comply will result in my taking legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA and seek additional compensation for the harm caused.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the presence of a fraudulent account on my credit report, which is currently being reported by Equifax. Despite my earlier submission of a dispute letter and the required documentation to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), as per your protocol, this account remains on my Equifax credit report. Upon discovering this fraudulent account, I contacted the associated company, which has confirmed the fraudulent nature of the account and assured me of its removal from their records. Subsequently, the other major credit bureaus, namely XXXX and XXXX, have removed this account from their records after recognizing its fraudulent nature. 

I am perplexed as to why this fraudulent account continues to be reported by Equifax despite being removed by the other credit bureaus. I have fulfilled all necessary requirements and provided all relevant documentation to support my claim of identity theft. 

I hereby request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and immediately remove this fraudulent account from my Equifax credit report. The company has acknowledged the fraudulent nature of this account, and its continued presence on my credit report is unwarranted and damaging to my creditworthiness. 
XXXX XXXX.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.
