I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying computer science, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. these are the accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern : I recently received new credit report. I am disputing the negative items in my credit profile. I dispute these claims and demand that any information be removed from reports immediately if it is inaccurate or misleading, as this will only harm me further! Upon review of my report, I noticed that several deviations from mandatory standards were present which will most likely affect the validity and accuracy of data in this document. These claims that the information in my report is negative, untrue or incorrect are unsubstantiated. To date I have not received any physical proof to back up these statements and eagerly await a reply from you. Document that you have complied with the reporting requirements, and report without any deviations. Please note that if you have not complied with the requirements, I will need to remove them from my report. 
Below is a summary of the data in which I am challenging : Personal Information for TransUnion NAME : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Hello , I'm requesting that you update your system with my correct name, which is XXXX XXXX XXXX If you have any records of my name that differ from what I have provided, please delete them immediately. Thank you.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Non-sufficient funds and associated fees
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX - Checking account balance was approximately {$140.00} ( positive/available ). 

XX/XX/XXXX - {$220.00} was authorized by Wells Fargo to draft from my account from XXXX. Transaction should have been declined due to not enough funds in my checking account. {$35.00} overdraft fee was issued. 

XX/XX/XXXX - Checking account balance was negative. {$9.00} was authorized by Wells Fargo to draft from my account from XXXX. Transaction should have been declined due to account now being negative. {$35.00} overdraft fee was issued. 

When I called Wells Fargo- they did reverse the over draft fees ( totaling {$70.00} ). But they would not refund/reverse the {$220.00} payment or the {$9.00} payment. I was told it is up the the banks discretion to pay these transactions on my behalf. I disputed this and talked to two supervisors who told me it is up to Wells Fargo to pay the transactions on my behalf or not to pay them. That it is up to the discretion of the owner and that it is Wells Fargo policy. When I asked to have this policy sent to me in writing, they said they did not have it in writing. I was then hung up on twice.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
I have been with XXXX XXXX via " XXXX XXXX '' which is a line of medically related credit. I always made my payments on time, online, using my same bank. When it came down to the last payment owed, XXXX XXXX  said that my payment was declined. I never wait until the due date to make payments, so I went and made sure the money was in fact there and that the account were accurate, and resubmitted the payment. Some days later I got another email saying the payment was declined. I looked online and XXXX XXXX showed no balance, so I assumed the email was an old communication. But then I got ANOTHER email saying that my account was now flagged as delinquent. So again I went online to see what I could see about WHY the payment wasn't being processed. I submitted the payment AGAIN, but this time I also opted to speak directly to an agent immediately following my online submission. He suggested that the previous payments didn't go through due to insufficient funds, which was never the case. He also implied my own human error in entering the account information, which also wasn't the case as I had saved the account information on throt system for fast easy payments. He said he could see the payment attempts. I asked if there could have been an error on their side of the automated process, and if we could please go ahead with a manual payment to insure it would not be rejected again. I also asked what could be done about the credit reporting, as I have never made a late payment to them or to ANY account. He said that I would have to take it up with a credit reporting agency. Then XXXX XXXX  closed my account, citing dishonored payments as the reason! This is unfair credit reporting, as it wasn't my fault their system stopped accepting payments randomly at the last payment due! Please note that the account has been settled in full.

( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate. 
( D ) Definition For purposes of subparagraph ( A ), the term reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate means having specific knowledge, other than solely allegations by the consumer, that would cause a reasonable person to have substantial doubts about the accuracy of the information.

Even if you didnt receive a Form 1099-C, you must report canceled debt as gross income on your tax return. 
The IRS clearly defines a charge off as gross income or ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes your reporting of this account inaccurate! 
The IRS clearly says a Canceled or Charge Off is Income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate. 
15 USC 1681S-2 says XXXX is furnishing information to a consumer reporting agency. 
You are PROHIBITED BY LAW to furnish inaccurate information. I DEMAND you to Cease and Desist the reporting of incorrect/inaccurate information immediately and delete the account.

I called them several times since, but nothing is happening. They will kick me around to different " representatives '', and/or keep me on hold for long time. Each time I have to spend around 40min to an hour trying to explain again and again on what's happened to another person on the line. It is like talking to a wall. I am getting nowhere with this.
