Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint is being submitted under the authority of FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) to demand that youTransUnionimmediately and without delay block all fraudulent information currently polluting my consumer credit report. You have 4 business days from the moment you receive this complaint to comply. This information is the direct result of identity theft and fraud and must be removed from my fileno exceptions. 

The false data in question includes a fraudulent personal credit card account, multiple unauthorized hard inquiries, and illegitimate collections. I have attached both a list of these fraudulent hard inquiries and a copy of the FICO credit report you maintain, clearly identifying the bogus entries.

Let me be absolutely clear : I do not recognize, nor did I authorize, any of the accounts, collections, or inquiries referenced in this complaint. I did not open them. I did not request them. I did not initiate them. They are fraudulentperiod. And continuing to report this information after receiving notice of its illegitimacy constitutes a violation of federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of a fraudulent credit inquiry from my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified an inquiry that was not authorized by me and appears to be the result of fraudulent activity. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 604 ( a ), a credit inquiry can only be made with my explicit consent or as part of a transaction or application that I initiated. Since this inquiry does not meet these criteria, it is clear that it was made without my authorization and is therefore fraudulent.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Im writing to formally dispute multiple late payments reported on my credit file, which are inaccurate due to a situation involving unauthorized access to my personal accounts. For the past year or 2, I experienced a pattern of unexpected missed payments across several of my credit accounts. At the time, I was in a relationship where the person I was dating had access to my personal laptop and logins. Following the end of that relationship, I discovered that several of my accounts had been tampered with including the disabling of autopay settings, the removal of saved payment methods, and changes to my email and notification settings. This individual later admitted over the phone that they accessed my accounts out of spite and interfered with my financial information, which I did not notice immediately. These actions directly led to multiple missed or late payments on accounts that were previously in good standing. 
Since uncovering this, I have : Secured all of my financial accounts.

Taken steps to ensure this situation will not happen again Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am exercising my right to dispute these inaccurate negative marks. Specifically : 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 requires furnishers to report accurate information and correct any errors upon notice 15 U.S. Code 1681i requires credit reporting agencies to investigate disputed items and remove any unverifiable or inaccurate information within 30 days Because these late payments were the result of unauthorized interference not willful nonpayment or neglect I am requesting that they be removed from my credit report. If the furnishers can not verify with documentation that I personally made the changes that led to these missed payments, I ask that the items be deleted in accordance with federal law. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Please notify me of the outcome of your investigation.
