Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a formal demand for compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding the handling of my credit report. I have requested the following accounts listed below to removed from my credit report due to identity theft. This is my several attempt to resolve this matter. The previous letters have come with zero compliance. Your failure to provide verifiable proof and your reliance on generic, non-substantive responses violate federal law and my consumer rights. I will not tolerate these deliberate evasions. 

Despite my repeated disputes, your agency has failed to provide legally required documentation proving the validity of the reported information. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), upon receiving a dispute, you are legally required to conduct a meaningful investigation and provide substantive evidence verifying the accuracy of the disputed account. Your boilerplate responses do not meet this legal standard, and your continued negligence constitutes a blatant violation of federal law.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), you are required to maintain maximum possible accuracy in consumer credit reports. Your continued reporting of unverified and inaccurate information, despite my multiple disputes, demonstrates reckless disregard for the law and my rights.

You have 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : 1.Actual verification of the disputed accounts, including original documentation from the data furnisher proving the validity of the debtnot generic statements from the creditor or data furnisher.

2.A detailed explanation of the investigation conducted, including the specific steps taken to verify the accuracy of the information.

3.The names, contact information, and job titles of the individuals who handled my dispute.

4.A statement confirming removal of any information that can not be fully verified as per 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

Failure to comply will result in immediate legal action. I am fully prepared to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney General. Additionally, I will explore all legal avenues, including but not limited to, filing a lawsuit for willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which entitles me to statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and costs.

The following accounts do not belong to me, as they are fraudulent. The banks have agreed to remove these accounts from my records. Im confused why you still feel theyre reporting accurately. Please see these accounts are fully investigated and VERIFIABLE PROOF IS FORWARED TO ME. 

XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers.

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a phone call from Citibank asking if I had applied for a Home Depot credit card. I told them no, and they confirmed it was likely fraudulent and said the account would be closed immediately and marked as fraud. 

A few weeks later, I received a Welcome letter for the credit card and later found out {$1800.00} had been charged on the account. I contacted Home Depot customer service, and after multiple attempts to reach someone, I was told a fraud review would be opened and take 6090 days. 

I never received a response. Four months later, I got a letter stating my account was past due. I contacted Home Depot again, and they told me no review had ever been done because my reason did not qualify and I supposedly did not submit documentation which was never requested from me in the first place. 

I then contacted Citibank again. After several days of calls, they told me the account was already closed due to fraud and that no such account was active in my name. 

However, I later received a letter from a collections agency, demanding payment on this same fraudulent account. I told them the situation, and they said they would follow up with Home Depot they never did. 

I disputed the account with all three credit bureaus, clearly marking it as fraudulent. The bureaus came back saying the account was valid and declined to remove it. I again contacted Home Depot, who said they would re-open a fraud review ( again 6090 days ). I heard nothing. 

Now in XX/XX/XXXX, Ive just received another letter from a different collection agency, demanding payment for this same fraudulent account. 

I have never applied for this card, never authorized it, never received or used it, and have done everything I can over the last year to resolve this. No one will take responsibility, and this is still damaging my credit. I need this account fully removed from my credit report, collections stopped, and a final resolution confirming I am not responsible.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am a veteran who went through financial hardship while transitioning from XXXX XXXX to civilian life. During that period, I fell behind on an Affirm account. However, I eventually paid the account in full, and it has been closed since XXXX 

Affirm continues to report this account as derogatory with late payments and collection history. Despite it being fully paid and closed, it is still showing as Potentially Negative and hurting my credit score. I have disputed this with XXXX, but Affirm verified the information as accurate without providing supporting validation. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), furnishers are required to report information that is not only accurate but also complete and not misleading. In this case, the continued reporting of this account as derogatory despite full payment, age of the account, and my veteran hardship is misleading and harmful. 

Relief Requested : I respectfully request that Affirm either remove the account entirely or delete the negative payment history from all credit bureaus as a goodwill adjustment. I am now in good standing with my credit, have paid off the debt, and am actively rebuilding. This account does not reflect my current financial behavior or risk.
