Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, This is a final formal dispute and legal warning regarding fraudulent accounts that continue to appear on my credit report. I have notified you of identity theft, and I have repeatedly disputed the following accounts without resolution : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These accounts were not opened or authorized by me. I have requested proof of ownership, including documentation bearing my wet signature, and you have failed to provide it. Despite this, these accounts remain on my report and continue to be reported as charge-offs monthly, further violating my rights. 

This ongoing reporting is in direct violation of the following laws : 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 Requires that fraudulent accounts be blocked from reports once identity theft is reported.

15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 Prohibits furnishers from reporting inaccurate or unverifiable information. 

You are knowingly reporting inaccurate and damaging information, which you do not have my consent to include on my credit profile. This has a direct negative impact on my livelihood and my familys financial stability. 

I have maintained all necessary documentation and dispute history and am now fully prepared to initiate a civil lawsuit for your ongoing negligence, damages, and willful non-compliance. 

I am demanding the immediate removal of the accounts listed above from all credit reporting bureaus. If this is not resolved within 15 days, I will proceed with legal action without further notice.

Enough is enough. Remove these fraudulent accounts now. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
am submitting this statement to formally document a series of events in which I was the victim of an employment-related check fraud scam. Despite acting in good faith and maintaining active communication with my bank ( Huntington ), I was penalized and ultimately dismissed as a customeronly receiving the remaining funds after the bank withdrew what they claimed was owed to them. 

Background In late XX/XX/year>, I applied for and accepted what I believed to be a legitimate remote job opportunity as a personal assistant to an individual named XXXX XXXX. As part of my responsibilities, I was sent several checks which I was told were to be processed and managed on behalf of my new employer. 

Believing these checks were legitimate and part of standard payroll or business transactions, I deposited them using Huntington Banks mobile deposit feature. 

Checks Deposited Below is a list of the checks I attempted to deposit in good faith : {$2900.00} Cleared on XX/XX/year> {$1900.00} Placed on hold {$900.00} Placed on hold {$4900.00} Placed on hold The first check for {$2900.00} was fully cleared and made available, which affirmed my belief that the job and employer were legitimate. 

Communication with Huntington During the weekend that I began depositing these checks, I encountered account issues and was in continuous communication with Huntington Bank representatives by phone. I asked repeatedly why my account was on hold, but no one provided a clear explanation or indicated there was any suspicion of fraud. 

It wasnt until I became visibly emotional and pleaded for answersafter days of uncertaintythat I was finally told the checks had been flagged as fraudulent. By that point, I had already self-reported the situation and began cooperating fully with the bank, despite being given no warning or opportunity to resolve the matter before my account was restricted. 

Aftermath and Account Closure Shortly after this, Huntington Bank unilaterally refunded itself the funds associated with the held checks. Then : My account was closed, and I was dismissed as a customer. 

I was not offered any opportunity to resolve the matter or continue banking with them. 

The remaining balance ( what was left after the bank withdrew their reimbursement ) was only returned to me after the account was closed. 

I was treated as if I was at fault, despite clearly acting in good faith and attempting to prevent further harm by cooperating. 

I have since filed a police report, retained screenshots, and saved all records of communication, check images, and transaction history with Huntington.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX SSN : XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Phone : XXXX Email : XXXX Date : XX/XX/XXXX To : Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX RE : Formal Dispute Demand for Deletion of Dismissed XXXX XXXX Bankruptcies To Whom It May Concern, This is a formal dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) concerning multiple XXXX XXXX XXXX entries currently listed on my Equifax credit report. These entries are : Dismissed by the courts Duplicated under multiple reference formats Inaccurate, misleading, and unverifiable The specific entries I dispute are : Ref # XXXX / XXXX / XXXX Filed XX/XX/XXXX, Dismissed XX/XX/XXXX Ref # XXXX / XXXX / XXXX Filed XX/XX/XXXX, Dismissed XX/XX/XXXX XXXX # XXXX / XXXX / XXXX Filed XX/XX/XXXX, Dismissed XX/XX/XXXX Ref # XXXX Filed XX/XX/XXXX, Dismissed XX/XX/XXXX Legal Basis for Immediate Deletion : The same bankruptcies are reported more than once, using inconsistent identifiers and formats a direct violation of FCRA 1681e ( b ) regarding maximum possible accuracy.

Bankruptcy courts have publicly stated they do not report to credit bureaus, making this data unverifiable under FCRA 1681i ( a ).

These filings were dismissed, meaning no debt relief, payment plans, or resolutions occurred yet they remain on my report, creating a false and defamatory impression of my creditworthiness.

The duplicate and redundant entries mislead lenders and unfairly damage my reputation.

DEMAND FOR ACTION : I am demanding the full deletion of the above-listed dismissed bankruptcy records from my Equifax credit file.

You have 15 calendar days from the date of receipt of this letter to : Permanently delete all dismissed XXXX  XXXX XXXX  entries Provide me with written confirmation of this deletion Failure to take action will result in : A formal CFPB complaint A report to the FTC and the Illinois Attorney Generals Office Legal proceedings under FCRA 1681n and 1681o for both willful and negligent noncompliance This letter serves as legal notice. I expect timely and complete resolution. 

Govern yourselves accordingly.

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.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ).

This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.
