Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed a copy of my consumer report. I was shocked to learn that I have been a victim of identity theft. These offenses amount to Aggravated Identity Theft pursuant to 18 U.S.C 1028A and 15 USC 1681q. You have knowingly transferred, possessed or used, without lawful authority, a means of identification of me, which is a felony punishable with up to 2 years of imprisonment, in addition to civil liability. I found numerous accounts on my consumer report that were not open by me. Addition to this I have not given any consumer reporting agency written permission to put anything on my consumer report. The law states per 15 USC 1681b Permissible purpose of consumer reports IN GENERAL Subject to subsection ( c ) any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( XXXX ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Therefore, these accounts should not be reported on my consumer report. This has also caused infringement of my right to privacy for advertising this alleged debt that I do not owe nor have an agreement and/or personal responsibility contract with on my consumer report. This has been hurting me and causing my mental health to be disturbed with severe harm and extreme anxiety, as I am in the process of buying a home for my family. It is also unlawful for the advertisement of any debt to coerce payment per 15 U.S Code 1692d Harassment or abuse. Please remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit report as soon as possible.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to bring to your attention certain provisions under the United States Code, specifically under 15 USC 166b and 15 USC 1681 ( e ) ( B ), which govern the treatment of payments on credit card accounts under open-end consumer credit arrangements and the issuance of 1099-C forms for charged off accounts.

Firstly, under 15 USC 166b, a creditor is prohibited from treating a payment on a credit card account as late for any purpose. As such, I request that my account status and payment history be updated to reflect Paid as Agreed and to remove all negative inquiries and late payments immediately.

Secondly, under 15 USC 1681 ( e ) ( B ), I have not received a 1099-C form for the charged off accounts in question. Failure to provide this form is a violation of federal law and constitutes fraudulent activity on the part of the creditor. Therefore, I request that the charged off accounts be updated to Paid as Agreed and any negative items associated with these accounts be removed immediately.

It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects the lawful status of my accounts and the payments I have made. I trust that you will take prompt action to rectify these matters and update my credit report accordingly.

I am formally disputing and requesting the prompt removal of fraudulent account from my credit report. This dispute roots from a case of identity theft, for which I have filed a formal report in XXXX XXXX XXXX and also filed a Police Report on my local police department. Additionally, I have reached out to the bank associated with the fraudulent account. The bank has accepted the identity theft report 's legitimacy and known a potential system glitch that has hindered access to the records. They have assured me of the prompt removal of the fraudulent account, which has been mistakenly existing on my report for over XXXX years. But somehow, this fraudulent account is still existing in my report under your bureau and I'm curious what kind of confirmation process have you done. Equifax and XXXX credit bureaus no longer reporting this fraudulent account since the submission of the required documents.
