Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my extreme frustration and outrage regarding the presence of a fraudulent account on my credit report, as reported by your bureau. This account, referenced as XXXX, is blatantly fraudulent and has been acknowledged as such by the associated company, which has already taken steps to remove it from their records. Despite my repeated efforts to have this fraudulent account removed from my credit report, your bureau has failed to take action. This is unacceptable and has had a detrimental impact on my credit score and financial standing. It is important to note that the other major credit bureaus, namely XXXX and XXXX, have promptly removed this fraudulent account from their records after verifying its fraudulent nature. The fact that your bureau has not followed suit is deeply concerning and reflects poorly on your commitment to fair and accurate reporting. I want you to remove this account from my report : XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

Complaint narrative:
Apparently and unfortunately I have an adult son with the same first and last name. He has confirmed that he in fact obtained services from a XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I knew absolutely nothing about his personal or professional business with this company as I live in the State of Connecticut. I had an impeccable credit score until one day my wife and I received a collection notification in XXXX stating that I owed over {$3000.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX for a debt owed to The XXXX XXXX XXXX. I never received a single bill or credit application alert. I tried to explain to all three entities ( Credit Bureaus plus the collector and the agency directly ) that that was impossible since I did not have any XXXX taken at any point with this company. The agency did confirm that the person they conducted business with was was younger than I. No assistance was provided and they still haven't guided me on what steps need to be taken to have them report the remove this charge that doesn't belong to me. XXXX did an " investigation '' which did not resolve the matter and refuse to provide any additional assistance. 

I had my credit profile locked during this time, so I'm not sure how this even happened. I am also completely baffled with trying to figure out how the debt was even originated. ( i.e credit, general bill, use of SSN etc. ) None of which was explained to me. I would like to report fraud on my report and I will take whatever legal actions necessary if this matter is not corrected.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : XXXX Privacy Rights Violation and Correction Request I am writing to bring to your attention several critical issues related to my credit report. Enclosed, please find copies of documents that demonstrate XXXX violation of my privacy rights under The Privacy Act of 1974. Specifically, I want to address the following concerns : 1. Written Instructions and Violation of My Consumer Rights : o According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumer reporting agencies can only provide a consumer report based on written instructions from the consumer. I have not explicitly provided written consent for XXXX to share my information with XXXX XXXX, Credit Collection Service, and the NY Child Support Enforcement Agency. This appears to be a violation of my rights. 
2. Revoke any consent o Any and All consent to XXXX ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) whether it be ( verbal, non-verbal, written, or implied ). or otherwise, is revoked.

o XXXX is prohibited from including certain items of information in a consumer report without proper authorization, especially adverse items. If any inaccurate or unauthorized information has been included, I request an investigation and correction. 
3. Maintaining Reasonable Procedures Designed to avoid violation of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to authorized purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. XXXX is not maintaining reasonable procedures. 
4. Opting Out of Reporting Services : o As per 12 CFR 1016.7, I formally opt out of XXXX reporting service and prohibit the sharing of my information with third parties.
