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 XXXX 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 XXXX 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 XXXX, 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 XXXX XXXX : 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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing once again to follow up on my previous disputes regarding the inaccuracies in my personal information appearing on my credit report. My initial dispute letter was sent on XX/XX/XXXX, and I have yet to receive confirmation that my concerns have been addressed or that any corrective action has been taken. Additionally, I sent a follow-up letter on XX/XX/XXXX, but I still have not received a response. 

To reiterate, my correct and up-to-date personal information is : Full Name : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Social Security Number : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX In my initial dispute, I provided supporting documentation, including a copy of my government-issued ID, a utility bill, and my Social Security card, to validate my identity and substantiate my claim. However, the inaccurate addresses remain on my credit report, which is unacceptable. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are legally required to investigate disputes and correct any inaccurate information within the mandated timeframe. Your continued failure to address this matter not only violates my rights but also raises concerns regarding compliance with federal law. 

I am formally requesting the following actions : Immediate removal of the erroneous addresses from my credit report.

An updated credit report reflecting the corrected information.

Written confirmation of the actions taken to resolve this dispute. 

If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 10 days of receipt of this letter, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider further legal action.
