After sending complaints here in CFPB these negative items are STILL reporting and my complaints have NEVER been resolved. I am a victim of identity theft. The information attached below, which appears on my credit report, DOES NOT relate to any transaction ( s ) that I have made. It is the result of identity theft. I've also called on MULTIPLE occasions regarding the negative items that are reported on my credit report. These accounts are NOT MINE. I am the primary consumer of the complaint and there is no third party involved. This complaint was not submitted in error.

Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year> I received a letter from Discover Card stating that I was being sent to collections. I called the number on the letter and asked what this was about as I didn't know I had any charges to Discover Card. I explained that I had not received any statements in the mail showing that I had a balance at Discover. They have stated that they had sent the statements and nothing was returned. As of yesterday ( XX/XX/year> ) received the statements that were supposed to have been sent to me. I was a customer with Discover for 15 years and was always on time with my payments. I asked why wasn't I notified before getting a letter to be sent to collections. They said they had tried calling and I asked if any messages had been left, as I work during the day, they said they don't typically leave messages as everything is automated. When I received the letter I wanted to dispute the charges of {$440.00}, but my husband called again and the lady on the phone ( XXXX ) advised him to do the charge off amount ( {$300.00} ) leaving a balance with Discover of about {$130.00}. We did this with the understanding that we would be in good standing with Discover and our credit. I was told the conversation was recorded, but we as the consumer, can not listen to recordings. I hadn't been concerned until XXXX weeks ago I tried to co-sign on a loan with my son. I was denied and the reason being serious delinquency, and after digging it was the amount left at discover of {$130.00}. I have called discover almost daily to try and pay the remaining amount. I have been told they can't reopen the account. I was a 15 year customer always paying my bills on time, I am just asking for the account to be reopened and pay the remaining amount, but have been told this is impossible. I have also been told by others and have done some digging myself that in fact it is possible to reopen the account and pay off the balance. I have talked with XXXX from the Executive Consumer Advocacy through Discover, I was told by him to go through my states Attorney General to push to get the account reopened and paid off. 
I have never had a delinquent account so this was all new to my husband and I. We do not have anything in writing from the events. But now have been pushing for more to be done in writing, which Discover is very hesitant to do I have found out.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.
