Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

I am formally disputing the accuracy of the XXXX XXXX XXXX  account being reported on my credit reports with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. 

In XX/XX/year>, I submitted a certified dispute letter directly to XXXX XXXX XXXX  concerning the wrongful reporting of late payments on this account. Specifically, I advised that this account should have been covered under my request for assistance pursuant to the CARES Act, which I initiated before any missed payments. Despite my proactive outreach, XXXX XXXX reported late payments that should not have been recorded under federal guidelines related to XXXX hardship protections. 

As of today, I have not received a response from XXXX XXXX XXXX  within the required XXXX window outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 1681i. According to this provision, if a data furnisher fails to verify disputed information within 30 days, the credit bureaus must consider the information unverifiable and correct or delete it.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 


I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified. 


15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report. 


15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt. 

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

I recently became aware of an account opened in my name without my knowledge or authorization. 

I contacted the company to request verification of the original documents and information used to open this account. However, they were unable to provide these details. This lack of documentation raises serious concerns and further supports my claim of identity theft. 

I request that this matter be investigated thoroughly and that any accounts or activity linked to this identity theft be suspended or removed from my records.
