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. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the XXXX XXXX  credit bureausXXXX, Equifax, and XXXX ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and CDIA industry standards. 

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and CDIA Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number XXXX Balance : {$0.00} Open Date XX/XX/XXXX Relief Requested : I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take appropriate supervisory or enforcement action and require XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  to : Immediately delete all negative items previously disputed that can not be verified with complete documentation Cease reporting unverifiable data and require original source validation for all disputes Re-review investigation procedures and prohibit reliance solely on e-OSCAR as a substitute for human reinvestigation Certify in writing that corrective actions have been taken and notify all furnishers and third-party users of the updated information

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
