Complaint narrative:
Due to the numerous counts of data breaches that I have been subject to and the severity of each one directly involving my PII information, I have endured Delinquent and Derogatory marks to such a degree that I can not recover. 


For the past 7 years the data furnishers, collectors, and credit bureaus have directly given me a false identity. They have set up reports and made scores from information that is so far apart from me for so long that I literally can not defend myself. 


To paint a much vivid picture and give a complete understanding. It is a common act of human nature to live a lifestyle beyond one 's financial means and be consumed in unmanageable debt. Then try to point the blame at something or someone else. 
************************************************* But the entire 7-year span that I am referring to, I have filed countless disputes with credit bureaus, banks, credit card companies/grantors, and data furnishers. I have filed police reports, called random numbers that are linked to any activity on my reports, begged and pleaded with strangers, and have lost hope. When I dispute anything on my report it comes back validated by furnishers. When I call furnishers and ask where they get info and demand them to correct the fraudulent information, I'm then told there are laws that limit the data they are allowed to delete. 

It's like I'm fighting a battle 3 against 1. I do not understand how a credit bureau can deliver the information that they compiled of my life to criminals and then even tell me the criminals for sure have it posted the dark web then turn around again and tell me the low score on my report along with the XXXX inquiries is me being irresponsible with my credit and life decisions. 

There are laws such as 15 U.S. Code 1681 that are being violated by Equifax and XXXX because they did not protect the reports they have on my life.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the unauthorized inquiry that was added to my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX, which is scheduled for removal by XX/XX/XXXX. This inquiry was not authorized by me and constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), which limits permissible purposes for accessing a consumer 's credit report. Additionally, your failure to adequately address this issue during my previous dispute process violates Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), which mandates a reasonable investigation into disputes. 

I previously filed a dispute with TransUnion ( File Identification Number : XXXX ), but the investigation results were inadequate and unrelated to the specific issue I raised. The response did not provide sufficient evidence to justify the inquirys inclusion on my credit report, nor did it confirm a permissible purpose for the inquiry. 

As a victim of the XXXX data breach, my personal information has been compromised, increasing my risk of identity theft and unauthorized credit activity. The presence of this unauthorized inquiry has caused significant harm to my TransUnion credit score. A hard inquiry has the potential to lower my credit score by 5-10 points, which affects my creditworthiness and financial opportunities.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

I believe XXXX XXXX incorrectly reported a credit score reduction of XXXX points by TransUnion and XXXX points by XXXX. This occurred despite paying an XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX XXXX  ) balance of $ 7212 % of a {$600.00} limitwell before the due date. The score calculation seems to have been made shortly after the posting date, not considering the timely payment. Reducing the score for 12 % utilisation within the due date feels unfair.
