Complaint narrative:
This complaint serves as a formal follow-up to the complaint I submitted last month regarding the unauthorized and fraudulent use of my Social Security number and personal identifying information. This correspondence reiterates and reinforces my demand for the immediate removal of all accounts that were fraudulently opened in my name. These accounts were not authorized, opened, or consented to by me and are not reflective of any legitimate financial activity. Their continued presence on my credit report is both inaccurate and damaging. Legal Grounds for Immediate Deletion : Pursuant to the following federal laws and regulations, I demand the permanent deletion of all fraudulent data : 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 : I am exercising my right to request the removal of all information resulting from identity theft. You are obligated to comply with this request. 12 CFR Part 1022, Subpart H : You are legally required to delete fraudulent information from my credit file within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days of receiving notice. 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ) : Any credit transaction involving the unauthorized use of a Social Security number must be excluded from any consumer report. 15 U.S. Code 1692j : Misrepresenting a debt or furnishing deceptive forms is a direct violation of federal law. Demand for Immediate Action : Let me be absolutely clear : These accounts are fraudulent. Your continued reporting of them is reckless and potentially unlawful. I demand that all fraudulent accounts and inquiries be deleted from my credit file immediately. Any collection efforts tied to these accounts must cease and desist without delay.

Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Eastern Account Systems of Connecticut, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I do not acknowledge this debt, and Eastern Account has failed to provide any legal proof or verification that substantiates my obligation to pay this debt. 
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S. Code 1692g ( b ), I have the right to request validation of the debt. I exercised this right by requesting documentation that includes a SIGNED CONTRACT or AGREEMENT BEARING MY WET SIGNATURE as required to establish the legitimacy and enforceability of this debt. To date, Eastern has not provided such documentation. Simply reporting data to a credit bureau or producing an internal billing statement does not meet the standard of verification as set forth under federal law. 
The FDCPA requires that debt collectors provide sufficient evidence that the debt is valid and that I am indeed the person who owes it. I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to investigate this matter and require Eastern Account to either provide valid documentation-including a contract or agreement bearing my original wet signature or remove the account from all credit reporting agencies.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting a reinvestigation into multiple items appearing on my credit report, as they are either fraudulent or inaccurately reported. Several accounts listed are not mine. I did not authorize, open, or benefit from them. These items appear to be fraudulent, and I have not received any disclosures, billing statements, or signed agreements as required under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ). Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611, I request a detailed reinvestigation and disclosure of the verification process, including the identity of the furnisher.

Additionally, an active account is being reported with a late payment status, which is factually incorrect. I have made timely payments, and this inaccurate reporting violates FCRA 623 and the DoddFrank Acts prohibition against deceptive practices. This negative reporting misrepresents my creditworthiness and causes substantial harm. 

I request a manual, factual-based reinvestigation, not an automated E-OSCAR response. Under FCRA and CFPB guidelines, furnishers and credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and correct or delete inaccurate information. I expect updated reporting and full compliance with the legal timeframes outlined in FCRA.
