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.

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of Identity Theft stemming from both the XXXX data breach and the Equifax data breach, in which these incidents exposed my consumer data and other potential personal sensitive information such as name, contact details, Social Security number, financial data, and credit card information, leading to unauthorized use of my identity. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX publicly disclosed that on XX/XX/XXXX it had suffered a significant data breach due to hackers, with a revised announcement in XX/XX/XXXX stating that all three ( XXXX ) XXXX of its accounts were affected and the names, email addressed, phone numbers, birth dates, passwords, calendars and security questions of its account holders were compromised. On XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax disclosed a major data breach between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX that exposed consumer data, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and potentially other sensitive personal information. Given the extensive scope and frequency of these breaches, I have substantial reason to believe that my compromised personal information has been used to open unauthorized accounts in my name. 

These fraudulent accounts consist of a personal credit card with 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 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 These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent charge-offs, closed accounts, and multiple fraudulent hard inquiries appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports pursuant 15 U.S. Code 1681c2, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt, and I demand that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaints ( # XXXX ) and ( # XXXX ) as proof from the XXXX Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of Identity Theft and Fraud.

Complaint narrative:
RE : Dispute of Incorrect Information on Credit Report Account Number : XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute inaccurate information that has recently appeared on my credit report. Specifically, XXXX XXXX has reported an account from a previous XXXX account with a last activity dated XXXX, now showing as open. This reporting is incorrect and potentially a violation of federal statutes governing credit reporting. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, accurate reporting is mandatory, and the collection accounts should not be reported incorrectly as open after a significant period, especially once the debt is beyond the statute of limitations for reporting ( 7 years from the date of first delinquency as set under 15 U.S.C. 1681c ). 

The original delinquency date was in XXXX, and thus this account should not continue to affect my credit report or score as of XXXX. Furthermore, this issue may involve " re-aging '' of the account, which is not permissible. 

I request that you investigate this claim and remove or correct this inaccurate account, as it negatively impacts my credit report unjustly. 

I am also forwarding a formal complaint about this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding this incorrect credit report entry and the potential violations by XXXX XXXX as per

15 U.S.C. 1692g of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. What I find interesting is XXXX XXXX  open this collections in XX/XX/XXXX ; however, XXXX was just removed off of my credit profile as of XX/XX/XXXX. 


Thank you XXXX
