Complaint narrative:
This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent EXPERIAN multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In Experians responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. 

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.

Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. 

I need your help! As a consumer, I need to correct my credit file for my credit worthiness, credit standing, or credit capacity to obtain my rights and XXXX XXXX XXXX that has been XXXX. List of items that are UNKNOWN to me : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Open Date : XXXX XXXX, 2018 Balance : {$0.00}.

Complaint narrative:
I received a notice of a delinquent secured property tax bill XXXX. This was the very first time receiving a delinquent notice after many years of paying property taxes on time. When the initial property tax bill was mailed to me in XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed in : Installment # 1 in the amount of {$35000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ( check # XXXX ) Installment # 2 in the amount of {$35000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ( check # XXXX ) When I received the delinquent notice, I looked online at ttc.lacounty and noticed that I was delinquent on installment # XXXX because the amount due was now {$39000.00} ( including the late fee because it was never received ). It also showed that installment # 2 was never received and recorded by the tax collector.

Below I have attached the two copies of the cancelled checks, printed from my checking account, and both have been cleared on my bank statements. The 1st installment check, sent in on XX/XX/XXXX, was forged via a fraudulent endorsement, and deposited into a bank account. The bank teller that handled the deposit failed to review the name on the check that I had written and compare it to the fraudulent person 's bank account that he/she was depositing it into and also failed to review the endorsement signature on the back of the check, which was merely scribbles. The name on the check was " XXXX XXXX XXXX Collector, '' which can not be easily mistaken for an individual or company 's name. 

When the tax collector received the 2nd installment check, it was applied to the first installment, and late fees were added for both installments.

Further, Bank of Hope has not agreed to take responsibility on this case and has been stringing us along for over six months.

Attached below you will find all of the necessary documentation.
