My account has been in restricted mode since Saturday XX/XX/XXXX ( I can't do transactions in my checking and savings account ). 
However today is Thursday XX/XX/XXXX and my account is still restricted. 
I have spoken with representatives from XXXX and they have been unable to remove the restriction in my account. I am frustrated because I have changed my password several times under the instructions of the bank agents ( over the phone ) and nothing is happening. During those instances, I verified my identity with them, and still the restriction remains. These accounts are my main operational accounts, and now I will need to use other bank to receive my direct deposit.

Complaint narrative:
As of XX/XX/XXXX, PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOC continues to report and update a collection account my credit report. I have never had or ever opened an account with this company. I am disputing their claim. As per the FDCPA, I have the right to request a validation of this debt. I request you to prove that I am indeed the party who is by wet signed contract obligated to pay off this debt. I hope you are aware of the fact that reporting any invalidated information to major credit bureaus may constitute defamation of character, as negative listing on credit report does not allow me to enjoy the benefits of good credit. In addition, you must also be aware that until you validate this debt, you can neither continue collection activities nor report this information on my credit report. I'm sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request is likely to put your company in serious legal trouble with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and other state/federal agencies. Please attach copies of the following documents : 1. Agreement with your client that authorizes you to collect on this alleged 2. Agreement that bears signature of the alleged debtor wherein he promises to pay the creditor. 
3. Complete payment history on this account so as to prove that the debt amount you wish to collect is correct

Summary of the Issue : On XX/XX/year>, I was notified that my personal information was compromised due to a data breach. As a result, fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries appeared on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX I exercised my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) by disputing these inaccurate entries with the credit bureau ( s ) on XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention, for the third time, an ongoing issue regarding several settled accounts that continue to be inaccurately reported on my credit report. Despite my previous two disputes and submissions of all necessary documentation, these accounts have yet to be properly updated or removed. The continued presence of these accounts is in clear violation of Section 611 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under Section 611, credit bureaus are legally required to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of information on their credit report. This includes contacting the creditor, reviewing relevant documents, and ensuring the disputed information can be properly verified. If the bureau can not verify the accuracy of the disputed information, it must be promptly removed from the credit report. 

I am now questioning the thoroughness of the investigation and verification process conducted by your bureau. Given that this is the third time I am disputing the same settled accounts, it is clear that the verification process has either not been conducted properly, or the necessary corrective actions have not been taken. The Fair Credit Reporting Act mandates that credit reporting agencies adhere to strict verification standards to protect consumers from inaccurate or outdated information being reflected on their credit reports. 

I am therefore requesting the following : -A thorough reinvestigation of these settled accounts. 
-An explanation of the specific verification steps that have been taken during your previous investigations, including details of communications with the creditors. 
-The removal or accurate updating of these accounts in accordance with the information provided.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute several unauthorized inquiries that appear on my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is the credit bureaus responsibility to ensure that all information included on my credit report is accurate and that any credit inquiries listed have a permissible purpose. If an inquiry can not be verified as authorized, it must be removed from my credit report immediately. 

The following inquiries were not authorized by me : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Under the FCRA, they are required to provide me with documentation proving that these inquiries were made with my authorization and for a permissible purpose. If they are unable to verify this information, they are legally obligated to remove these inquiries from my credit report per Section 604 of the FCRA.

I request that you conduct an immediate investigation into these inquiries and notify me of your findings. If you can not provide verifiable evidence within the 30-day investigation period, please delete these inquiries from my credit report without delay.

After requesting an investigation and prompt action if they can not confirm these inquires, they simply told me to talk to the company these inquiries came from which is against my rights as a consumer since they are the company reporting this false information. 

I am hereby demanding prompt action and deletion as these inquiries do negatively affect my report.
