Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint against Experian for repeated and willful violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in connection with identity theft disputes I have filed. Despite providing Experian with a complete FTC Identity Theft Report and supporting documentation, they have failed to block or delete fraudulent accounts from my credit report, as required by law. Specifically, the accounts in question include XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which the banks confirmed would be removed but remains on my report ; all of which are identity theft-related and should have been blocked under 1681c-2 of the FCRA. Experians refusal to act constitutes a violation of 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), for failing to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation, and 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), for reinserting accounts without proper notice. These negligent actions have caused me emotional distress, wasted time, and financial harm. 
For reference and further substantiation, I am attaching a copy of the letter dated XX/XX/year>, which outlines my dispute and legal demand for deletion. This letter serves as formal notice and supports the claims made in this complaint.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding TransUnions Sham Investigations To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for conducting inadequate and misleading investigations into disputes regarding my credit profile. As a consumer, I have a right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to have my disputes investigated thoroughly, but TransUnion has failed to fulfill this obligation. Over the course of my recent interactions with TransUnion, I have noticed a pattern of what I believe to be sham investigations. My disputes regarding inaccurate information on my credit report were met with superficial responses that did not address the concerns I raised. Specifically : TransUnion has responded to disputes with generic statements or resolutions that did not appear to involve any meaningful investigation.

My evidence supporting the inaccuracies in my credit report was not acknowledged or addressed in the responses. The results of the disputes were issued in unreasonably short timeframes, suggesting that no thorough investigation could have been conducted.

These actions not only undermine the integrity of the credit reporting system but also violate the provisions of the FCRA, which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct reasonable investigations of disputed information. I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate
TransUnions dispute-handling practices to ensure compliance with federal law and to protect the rights of consumers like myself. I also urge the CFPB to take necessary enforcement actions to hold TransUnion accountable for any violations uncovered during the investigation.

Please let me know if additional information or documentation is required to support this complaint. I trust that the CFPB will address this matter with the seriousness it warrants.

Thank you for your attention to this issue. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number in question XXXX XXXX I filed a cfpb report. Number XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> and have been ignored and unanswered
