Complaint narrative:
FCRA law was cited because my permission was not given for information that was reported on my report and was exposed in a data breach by the credit bureaus. Also, according to the fair credit reporting act federal law 15, USC 1681. I was promised accuracy in my report. There are errors that can not be validated or verified. Thats another reason. Im requesting any in all such information be removed.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I discovered an unauthorized collection account from Midland Credit Management on my credit report. This account was reported without my knowledge or prior notification. Midland Credit Management failed to provide any written notice of this alleged debt before reporting it to the credit bureaus, which is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

I have not received any communication from Midland Credit Management regarding this alleged debt. They have not sent me a validation notice as required by law, which should include details about the debt, the creditor, and my rights as a consumer. 

The amount of the alleged debt is unknown to me, as I have not received any information about it. I am disputing the accuracy and validity of this debt, as Midland Credit Management has failed to provide proper verification. 

This unauthorized reporting has negatively impacted my credit score and financial standing. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and require Midland Credit Management to provide proper validation of the debt or remove it from my credit report if they can not do so.

Complaint narrative:
RE : Formal Dispute and Demand for Full Compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) This is a formal demand for the immediate reinvestigation of the following fraudulent accounts listed on my credit report : Account Number : XXXX : XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These accounts are fraudulent and have no basis in fact or law as they were neither opened nor authorized by me. In your prior investigation, you claimed the accounts were verified. However, your actions indicate a failure to comply with your obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable and thorough investigation. 

Violations of the FCRA : XXXX. 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : You are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when an item is disputed. The verification process you conducted was clearly inadequate, as no valid proof of my connection to these accounts has been provided. 
XXXX. 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) : Upon completing your investigation, you are required to provide a detailed explanation of the procedures you used, including the name, address, and phone number of the furnisher of information. This was not provided in your response. 
XXXX. 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : You are required to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information on my credit report. Continuing to report inaccurate and fraudulent accounts violates this provision. 

My Demands : XXXX. Detailed Method of Verification : I demand a detailed explanation of how you verified these accounts, including : A step-by-step description of the reinvestigation process you conducted. 
The specific documentation you relied upon to verify these accounts. 
The name, address, and contact information of the data furnisher ( s ) for each account. 
XXXX. Immediate Deletion of Fraudulent Accounts : If you can not provide irrefutable evidence that I authorized or opened these accounts, they must be permanently deleted from my credit report under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( a ). 

This is your opportunity to correct these errors and resolve this matter amicably. I trust you will treat this matter with the seriousness it warrants. 

I expect your written response, including all requested documentation, within 30 days of your receipt of this letter.

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.
