Complaint narrative:
CFPB Complaint Summary XXXX. What happened? 
I submitted multiple disputes to XXXX Experian / Equifax XXXX TransUnion regarding inaccurate and fraudulent information on my credit report. I also provided supporting documentation, including an FTC identity theft report, police report, and proof of identity and address. Despite my request for a manual reinvestigation and a formal Method of Verification ( MOV ), the credit bureau failed to conduct a proper investigation. I also requested the removal of outdated personal information and fraudulent accounts stemming from identity theft and data breaches, but they failed to comply.

Furthermore, I filed identity theft reports and submitted them in accordance with FCRA 605B, which requires blocking of fraudulent data within 4 business days. These fraudulent accounts are still being reported, and I have not received adequate responses or verification. This agency appears to have relied on automated systems ( such as e-OSCAR ) without properly reviewing the documentation I submitted.

I continue to receive alerts regarding unauthorized changes of address and dark web exposures of my personal data, which further supports the urgency of my case.

2. What do you believe is the issue?

Credit reporting company failed to investigate a dispute Continued reporting of information that was not verified Failure to block fraudulent information after identity theft report Failure to update personal information ( address, name, etc. ) Did not provide requested Method of Verification Did not respond in a timely or complete manner

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against Midland Credit Management for failing to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding an account they are reporting to the credit bureaus. 

I formally requested that Midland Credit Management verify the validity of an account they are reporting on my credit report. Under Section 611 of the FCRA, if a consumer disputes the accuracy of any item on their credit report, the furnisher of the information must conduct a reasonable investigation and verify the account. If they can not verify it, they are required to remove it. 

Despite my written dispute and request for verification, Midland Credit Management has failed to provide proper documentation or validation of the debt. Furthermore, they have continued to report the account to the credit bureaus without taking corrective action. This is a clear violation of the FCRA and has caused undue harm to my credit standing. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and compel Midland Credit Management to either : Provide complete and accurate validation of the alleged debt, including the original creditor, proof of ownership, and a breakdown of the amount owed, or Remove the account entirely from all consumer reporting agencies if they can not verify the accuracy of the information.
