Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( XXXX ), particularly 15 U.S.C. XXXX, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. XXXXb, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

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 four ( 4 ) 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. 

BELOW ARE THE ITEMS THAT NEEDS TO BE REMOVE ASAP : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX * * * * Balance : {$13000.00} XXXX PM XXXX * * * * Balance : {$19000.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX - tied up XXXX XXXX * * * * Balance : {$630.00} XXXX XXXX  ( Original Creditor : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX * * * * Balance : {$1400.00} XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX

Complaint narrative:
To : TransUnion Subject : Formal Dispute Request for Deletion Unverifiable Account Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX Dear TransUnion, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy and completeness of the information being reported on my credit file regarding an account from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX related to the XXXX XXXX. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to request full verification of any tradeline listed on my report. XXXX XXXX contacted me directly and spoke with a representative, XXXX XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX. During the call, XXXX XXXX confirmed that XXXX XXXX is unable to provide any additional documentation to validate the debt beyond periodic account statements and a generic electronic customer agreement. 

Despite multiple requests, XXXX XXXX has failed to provide : A signed agreement or application explicitly linking me to this alleged debt A detailed breakdown of the {$12000.00} balance reported as charged off Any legally sufficient documentation establishing the accuracy and legitimacy of the account Without this documentation, the account remains unverifiable and must be removed from my credit file under FCRA XXXX and related consumer protection provisions. Continued reporting of an unvalidated account violates my rights and may expose XXXX XXXX and your bureau to liability for inaccurate or unfair credit reporting. 

I am requesting that you delete this unverifiable tradeline from my credit report immediately and provide me with written confirmation once it has been removed. If you require further details, I am happy to supply supporting documentation. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I reviewed my credit report and noticed several inaccuracies. I sent a letter to EXPERIAN in MAY to dispute these items. However, it has been more than 35 days, and I have not received a response from the credit bureau.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), if a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of any information in their file, the credit reporting agency must, at no cost, conduct a reasonable investigation, verify the disputed information, and update the file or remove inaccurate items within 30 days of receiving the notice of dispute.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I placed a call to Equifax about the address on my credit report being incorrect. I provided the agent with my correct address which should be XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was then told by the agent and the supervisor that I would need to mail in a copy of my personal information such as my social security card, my drivers and other important documents. I do not think that's safe and no person should have to send personal information like that just to update address on credit report. I also advise they have address I've never lived at which would be fraud address.

State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates XXXX USC XXXXb regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX U.S. CXXXX  XXXX ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of a fraudulent credit inquiry from my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified an inquiry that was not authorized by me and appears to be the result of fraudulent activity. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Specifically, Section 604 ( a ), a credit inquiry can only be made with my explicit consent or as part of a transaction or application that I initiated. Since this inquiry does not meet these criteria, it is clear that it was made without my authorization and is therefore fraudulent.
