Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft. I submitted my initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Violations of the FCRA 1. Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items. 2. Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within 30 days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated. 3. Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case. Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX ) : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA. 
Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1. Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft. 2. Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed. 3. Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft. 
If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Mr Cooper has been harassing me for months now. I had a previous complaint about an escrow account they FORCED me to close and then tried to reopen and raised my payment. I had since had that taken care of. 

NOW, Mr. Cooper is saying I am not paying property taxes, they are going to raise my payment and FORCE me to open... you guessed it an ESCROW account to pay for them. I have paid my taxes, and told a resolution specialist ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) 1 month ago today. She assured me this was taken care of. 

I received a letter from Mr. Cooper over the weekend that they are going to open an escrow account that is unrevokable, force me to pay my property taxes ( They are paid. i have receipts and forward it to them multiple times ) and raise my payment. 

At this point, I am being harassed by Mr. Cooper. This is impacting my health both mental and physical, affecting my mother 's health, and XXXX me off to the point that I will defend my home at all costs at this point. 

This needs to stop. I need intervention. I need someone to investigate this corrupt company. They are trying to steal from me and take my home.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.

Complaint narrative:
I discovered that my personal information was used without my consent to open accounts or make unauthorized purchases. I did not initiate or authorize any of the transactions or accounts associated with my name. I believe my identity was compromised through theft or fraud, and I immediately took steps to report the issue to the authorities and the affected companies. Despite these efforts, the companies involved have not fully resolved the matter or removed the fraudulent charges and accounts from my credit report.

Acknowledge that the accounts and transactions are fraudulent.

Immediately remove all fraudulent account and Unauthorized Inquiries charges from my credit report.

Ensure that no further collection attempts or negative marks are made related to these fraudulent accounts.

Provide me with written confirmation that my personal information has been secured, and that no further unauthorized actions will occur under my name.

Compensate me for any damages or negative impacts to my credit score and personal life resulting from this identity theft.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
There are multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that must be removed without delay. Some contain incorrect details that do not match my records, others are entirely unfamiliar, and several have been reported without proper verification. These discrepancies violate the FCRA, which requires all information to be 100 % accurate and backed by legitimate documentation. 

To resolve this matter fairly, I demand that all inaccurate items be permanently removed from my credit report. If the reporting entities can not provide legitimate proof confirming their accuracy, they have no legal right to remain on my file. I expect immediate corrective action to restore the integrity of my credit profile.
