Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are wi
llful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof.

Complaint narrative:
This account was charged off on the following date [ XX/XX/year> OF FIRST CHARGE-OFF STATUS ]. Since then, the account has repeatedly been updated as charge-off every month. This is an update on the payment history. A charged off account should NOT include an active payment history. This inaccurate information falsely manipulates the statute of limitations. You failed to investigate this account properly and your neglect has violated my rights. I am demanding a deletion of the following account : Equifax : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ] [ XXXX ] Subject : Dispute Regarding Response on My Account and Immediate Deletion Request To whom it may concern : I am writing to express my disagreement with your response regarding my account, which continues to contain inaccuracies. Additionally, you have now altered the date the account was closed and have been marking the charge off status month by month, which is illegal according to the law. I am therefore requesting the immediate deletion of this account, as you are legally required to provide an accurate and error-free verification, and this account contains numerous inaccuracies. 

I ask that you resolve this matter appropriately and in accordance with the law. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Complaint. 
Subject : Complaint Regarding Failure to Remove Fraudulent Accounts from Credit Report To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this complaint against TransUnion for their failure to remove fraudulent information from my credit report in a timely manner, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. On [ insert date of dispute submission ], I submitted a formal dispute to TransUnion, including all necessary documentation such as my Police Report and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ), which clearly supports my claim of identity theft. 

In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, TransUnion is required to block the fraudulent information within four business days of receiving my identity theft report. Despite complying with all submission requirements, the following fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report : 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 

I have sent this dispute via certified mail and faxed all relevant documents. However, TransUnion has not taken the appropriate action within the legally mandated time frame, and the fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report, causing significant harm to my credit standing. 

I am requesting the CFPB to take immediate action to ensure that TransUnion complies with the law and removes the fraudulent accounts from my credit report as required. I also ask for an investigation into their failure to follow the provisions set forth by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding identity theft disputes. 

I trust that your office will ensure a prompt resolution to this matter and hold TransUnion accountable for any continued non-compliance. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have held the Chase Marriott BonVoy Boundless Visa CC since XX/XX/XXXX. Since then, I have used this card for transactions at XXXX properties in XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) but haven't received the 6x reward points that were advertised and based on which I decided to avail the card at the annua fee of {$95.00}. Upon noticing this discrepancy with reward points, I called the Chase credit card helpline who, in turn, directed me to contact XXXX. Given my Ambassador status with XXXX, I escalated this issue to my designated XXXX Ambassador ( XXXX XXXX ). While XXXX has been able to credit the deficit of points from the XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX stays, there is no clarity on the other 2 properties XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Worse, neither XXXX nor Chase is offering me an assurance that this problem has been fixed at the core, and that all future transactions will earn the 6 x rewards bonus, as advertised - furthermore, I have collectively devoted over 3.5 hours of my time in articulating these details to XXXX over email and to Chase over the phone- I have come to point where I am questioning as to whether any of these organizations care or are accountable? Thet are merely reacting to the symptom without showing any interest in addressing the root cause ; worse, they don't seem bothered at having the customer spend time gathering these copious details
