Complaint narrative:
After receiving a email from Equifax notifying me that my personal information has been in a data breach. I discovered negative and unauthorized information on my credit report, I suspected identity theft and immediately contacted Experian, Equifax and TransUnion to dispute the items in question. I provided the necessary documentation to support my claim, explaining that these debts were not incurred by me and were a result of fraudulent activity linked to the Equifax breach. Despite my efforts, Experian, Transunion and Equifax denied my case, asserting that the information had been " verified '' and leaving the fraudulent entries on my credit report. This denial has caused significant distress, which have negatively affected my financial stability and mental well-being, as these negative marks are damaging my credit and financial standing. Specifically, I have faced multiple instances of being denied services, including credit applications and other essential opportunities. I believe that Experian, Transunion and Equifax has not fully investigated the potential identity theft tied to the Equitax breach and I am seeking further assistance to correct the errors on my report. I remain committed to resolving this matter and protecting my tinancial well-being.

Complaint narrative:
I had a credit card with XXXX XXXX and My bill was paid in full. The month after I brought my account to a XXXX balance, they charged me a late fee and my balance was XXXX. I tried to get this resolved and they would not fix it. Because I did not refuse to pay Now it has been about 10 months and they have forcefully closed my account and the late fee just kept multiplying and is now at {$360.00}. When I try to dispute this on my credit report, somehow it never has been taken off. This has significantly impacted my credit and my credit report. It is Not right, and I have exhausted every option that I can think of without hiring an attorney. As of right now, they have sold this account to a debt collector. That debt collector never contacted me prior to reporting to the Credit bureau and further damaging my credit. I need help! The impact this has had on my open lines of credit as well as any credit that I could potentially have applied for has been extensive. I really need help with this.

Through zelle, I was prompted to make a series of transfers, totaling nearly $ XXXXEach transfer was $ XXXX {$3000.00} approximately and there were 3-4 in total. I have been blamed by both XXXX and Zelle, instead of treated as a victim, as thousands of other individuals have also been affected by this nationwide and sophisticated form of scamming. There were no warnings or safeguards in place to prevent this as there should have been. I also do not recall signing any form of disclosure requiring me to be responsible for frauds and scams, as these are typically covered under organizations ' insurance. I am requesting my funds be reinstated and any additional information that was provided and signed by me supporting the claims from both XXXX and Zelle.

Complaint narrative:
First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to look over my complaint. 
Over the course of four years, I have disputed the same inaccurate and unverifiable accounts with Experian, and they continue to remain, despite being clearly wrong and contradictory across bureaus. 

I have disputed XXXX XXXX XXXX ( for The XXXX collection account ) and XXXX repeatedly, on the following dates : XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Thats over 10 times, and yet Experian continues to report these same accounts just slightly updated even though the reporting is wildly inconsistent and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I also mailed Method of Verification letters requesting proof of how these items were verified, including validation from the furnishers. I have never received any documentation or verification in response. They ignored my request. 

This has gone on long enough. These disputes are not minor errors theyre major inaccuracies that affect my financial life. Ive been more than patient, and Ive done everything by the book. I am demanding immediate deletion of these accounts, not further updates. Ive attached a full, detailed summary explaining the issues and citing the relevant legal statutes.
