The account has been closed since XXXX, and no new late payments have been reported since that time. Despite the closure of the account, the credit bureaus-Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion-continue to report previous late payment entries.

These are harmful to my credit standing and may be inaccurate or unverifiable. Additionally, if XXXXXXXX XXXX  failed to send billing statements at least 21 days before those due dates, as required by 15 U.S.C. 1666b, the reporting of these late payments are in violation of federal law. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), credit bureaus must ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. Outdated or unverified late payments do not meet this standard. I have disputed these entries with the credit reporting agencies and requested proper validation. I am now requesting that the CFPB investigate XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX reporting practices and ensure these entries are deleted unless they can be lawfully and fully verified. 
Resolution Requested : - Remove all late payments reported by XXXX XXXX on this closed account XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) - Require XXXXXXXX XXXX  to provide proper verification of these entries and compliance with 15U.S.C. 1666b.

Complaint narrative:
A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, This is a second and final notice. I'm reaching out again regarding fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries being reported under my name. Let me be clear : I am the consumer, and I am writing this letter personally. There is no third party involved. So please do not send me another stall letter or generic response that approach is unacceptable and shows disregard for both federal law and consumer rights.

This matter has already been raised and documented, yet these inaccurate and fraudulent entries remain on my credit file. This is not just a reporting error it's a serious identity theft issue, and your inaction is now bordering on willful non-compliance.

Violations of Federal Law and Consumer Rights : 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) Unauthorized Inquiries You are not allowed to furnish credit reports for transactions I didnt authorize. The inquiries listed below were not initiated by me and must be deleted. 
XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX of XXXX Resulting from Identity Theft You are required to block fraudulent information within XXXX business days of receiving proper documentation. Ive already provided you with everything necessary including my FTC Identity Theft Report, government-issued ID, Social Security card , and proof of address.

18 U.S.C. 1028A Aggravated Identity Theft Continued reporting of identity theft-related entries makes you complicit in the damage being done. If you fail to block this information, you allow criminal activity to persist and knowingly hurt my financial reputation.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to Reinvestigate If you do not reinvestigate or verify the entries within the time permitted by law, and can not produce legitimate records showing my authorization, you are obligated to permanently remove them.

These were not opened or approved by me. They were the result of identity theft, and any delay in removing them further harms me. 

Fraudulent Accounts and Inquiries ( Previously Disputed ) : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am resubmitting this complaint in reference to the letter I previously sent, wherein I requested the removal of fraudulent items from my credit file. Once again, I am urging Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion Credit Bureaus to remove the fraudulent items listed in the Identity Theft Report. According to the law, you are obligated to remove these listed fraudulent items. Please review the fraudulent items below, which have been exposed in all three Credit Bureaus without my permission, and I request their prompt removal.

Complaint narrative:
I was notified on XX/XX/year> by XXXX XXXX, a credit monitoring service, that a new hard inquiry had appeared on my Equifax credit report. I immediately checked my Equifax credit file through Equifax 's web site and saw that someone had applied for a XXXX XXXX credit card in my name and that Equifax included the hard inquiry on my credit report. I called XXXXXXXX XXXX and they informed me that someone using my social security number applied for a XXXXXXXX XXXX  credit card in my name. The bank representative told me the identity thief did not have enough identifying information about me to complete the credit application, so the card was declined. Since I did NOT apply to XXXXXXXX XXXX for a credit account, I filed three separate disputes with Equifax, explaining to them that I did not apply for the account and that a criminal used my social security number without my authorization. Equifax refused three times to remove the hard inquiry from my credit file, which is unfair and in my opinion illegal.
