For about XXXX  years now I have been getting harassing phone calls and voicemails left for me that always seem fraudulent.

I called them at that time and asked who they where and no one would answer, I would ask what this was in reference to they would not answer that unless I gave them information about myself, to which I scoffed and advsied I was not giving them any information about me ever. They stopped for a while, then started again, seems form another " XXXX ''. I filed an FTC complaint about XXXX years ago, listing the numerous phone numbers and assumed company names that I had received calls from. They have started once again from this XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and again stating they had legal papers to send but they would require a signature, and needed me to verify my personal information with them, I again told them I wasn't signing anything and would not give them any information about me at all, ever. Today they called again stating the same thing, left me a voicemail and then called back, I answered and same deal, paperwork to serve me... blah... blah.. blah, so this is definitely harassment at this pint in time.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
