I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts. Actually I am not sure that the accounts are even mine though your company claims to have verified these. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Experian ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against the credit reporting agencies ( TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX ) and the creditors ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX ) for multiple violations of federal law regarding fraudulent accounts on my credit report. Despite disputing these accounts and requesting validation, they have failed to comply with their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Below are the fraudulent accounts in question : XXXX : Account ending in XXXX XXXX  XXXX : Account ending in XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account ending in XXXX Violations : Failure to Validate Debts : The creditors failed to provide written notification of the alleged debts within five days of initial contact, as required by FDCPA 809 ( a ). Furthermore, they did not validate the debts within 30 days of my dispute, violating FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and FDCPA 809 ( b ).

Reporting Inaccurate Information : These accounts contain inconsistent and inaccurate information, such as differing open dates and data reported across the credit bureaus. This is a violation of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which requires creditors to report only accurate information.

Failure to Respond to Disputes : Despite my disputes, the credit bureaus failed to conduct a reasonable investigation or provide documentation proving the legitimacy of these accounts within the required timeframe, violating FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). This neglect of duty also breaches FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), which mandates the correction or removal of disputed inaccuracies.

Continued Reporting of Fraudulent Accounts : The continued reporting of these accounts as " Charge off '' or " Derogatory '' despite disputes and lack of validation is willful noncompliance. This ongoing harm to my credit profile violates FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 1 ).

Relief Requested : I demand the following immediate actions : The permanent removal of these fraudulent accounts ( account numbers listed above ) from my credit report.

Blocking these accounts to prevent future reporting under FCRA 605B ( c ) ( 1 ). 
Compensation for damages caused by derogatory and inaccurate reporting, including harm to my creditworthiness and financial reputation. 
A formal investigation into the negligent and unlawful practices of the reporting agencies and creditors. 
Enforcement of penalties against the creditors and credit bureaus for willful violations of FCRA and FDCPA.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option 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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus.

This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Complaint narrative:
Re : Dispute of Late Payment Inquiries on Credit Report Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX  SSB Representative, I am reaching out to address a matter of significant concern regarding inaccuracies on my credit report, specifically relating to late payment inquiries that do not accurately reflect my credit history. These inaccuracies have unjustly impacted my credit score, and I am compelled to request their immediate rectification in accordance with federal regulations. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified late payment inquiries that are erroneously reported for the following account : XXXX : XXXX These inaccuracies stem from a billing error because my payments were never late. Consequently, I urge you to expeditiously remove these inaccuracies from my credit report to rectify the harm inflicted on my financial reputation. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), codified at 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., empowers consumers to dispute any inaccuracies on their credit reports. Under the FCRA, both credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) and furnishers of information, such as your entity, are mandated to ensure the accuracy and completeness of all reported information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Moreover, the FCRA obligates CRAs and information furnishers to conduct a thorough investigation of disputes and to delete or correct any inaccuracies within a reasonable timeframe, not exceeding 30 days ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ). Non-compliance with these provisions may result in liability for damages, including attorney 's fees ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n ).

Additionally, the FCRA prohibits the reporting of outdated information. Specifically, it mandates the removal of any adverse information, including late payments, that predates the seven-year threshold, measured from the date of the initial delinquency ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) ).

In light of the above, I formally request the immediate removal of the disputed late payment inquiry for the account referenced above from my credit report. I also expect written confirmation of this removal within 10 days of your receipt of this letter. Failure to address this dispute promptly will compel me to take further action, including but not limited to, monitoring my credit report closely and seeking legal remedies as afforded by the FCRA.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect your cooperation in resolving this dispute in a manner that upholds the integrity of my credit report and complies with the FCRA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FL XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> I am submitting this complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding XXXX, specifically in relation to the recent data breach that has compromised the personal information of countless consumers, including myself. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), I request the removal of fraudulent information from my credit report that has resulted from identity theft and fraud. Equifax is legally required to complete this action within four business days of receiving this complaint. *Fraudulent Accounts to be Removed : * XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The accounts listed above are fraudulent and have led to numerous unauthorized hard inquiries and derogatory collections appearing on my FICO credit report. These entries are unequivocally tied to identity theft and are negatively impacting my credit standing. To substantiate my claim, I have enclosed documentation of my FTC Identity Theft Complaints XXXX, which serves as compelling evidence that these accounts, inquiries, and collections are the result of identity theft and fraud. The negligence of EQUIFAX in safe guarding consumer data has enabled identity thieves to exploit my personal information. I expect immediate action to rectify this matter, with acknowledgment of receipt of this complaint and confirmation of the steps being taken to remove the fraudulent information. Failure to comply with this legal obligation will compel me to take further action, including escalation to the CFPB, Federal Trade Commission, and legal avenues available to protect my rights as a consumer.
