These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I've attached a list of the hard inquiries in question as well as a copy of the consumer FICO credit report maintained by you which shows the aforementioned fraudulent items. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, or hard inquiries as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ) as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. 



Ive made several attempts to this company to stop reporting inaccurate information on my credit report, they refuse to do so and its causing me a world of trouble and stress. They did not complete a Social Security Form 3288 ( SSA-3288 ), which is required for permissible purpose under FCRA. This raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the information reported, as well as the adherence to privacy regulations. I obtained my credit report it is reporting numerous inaccurate negative accounts. This has not only damaged my right to extend credit but it has made loose hope and trust within the banking system. I have been denied credit cards home loans because of this and my character has not only been defamed but my mental and physical health have suffered greatly. There is no law that says a consumer reporting agency MUST furnish information about a consumer which is why congress made it very clear that experian, transunion, equifax ASSUMED this VITAL role pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ). Also, Experian, transition, equifax failed to be fair and respect my privacy according to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). I am requesting valid proof and documentation that these negative items were investigated fairly and properly. Experian, Transunion, and Equifax is in violation of several federal laws including responsibility they have to protect my privacy. Im giving experian the opportunity to make this matter right by way of the following ; REMOVE ACCOUNTS, REMOVE LATE PAYMENTS, REMOVE INQUIRIES, REMOVE INACCURATE PERSONAL INFORMATION, I kindly urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate and facilitate the removal of these unauthorized inquiries, inaccurate personal information, late payments, and bankruptcy from my credit report. This action is crucial to restore the accuracy of my credit information and safeguard my financial standing. Equifax date breach settlement pending.
