Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) .I 'd like to emphasize that I am the one submitting this complaint and there is no third party involved. Despite having sent multiple letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ).

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate and Outdated Account on My Credit Report Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am submitting a formal complaint regarding an inaccurate and outdated account that remains on my Experian credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The details of the disputed account are as follows : Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Date of First Delinquency : 2015 This account is both outdated and does not belong to me. According to FCRA 15 U.S. Code 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ), negative accounts must be removed from credit reports after seven years from the original delinquency date. Since this account dates back to 2015, it should no longer be reported and must be removed immediately. 

Additionally, I have requested verification of this account, including a full copy of the original contract with my signature, from Experian. To date, they have failed to provide this documentation. If Experian and the creditor can not produce legal proof that I am responsible for this debt, they are in violation of federal law by continuing to report it. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and ensure Experian complies with the FCRA by removing this inaccurate and outdated account from my credit file immediately.
