Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out to formally dispute fraudulent information appearing on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. I am requesting that this information be blocked or removed immediately. Attached to this letter is my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim.

According to the referenced law, when a consumer submits a valid identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified as resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following account listed on my credit report is the direct result of identity theft and must be blocked immediately : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be blocked from my credit file without delay. The block should remain in place for a period of one year, with the option to extend if needed. During this period, no information related to this account may be reported.

I have made multiple attempts to contact EXPERIAN to report this issue, but I have not received a clear or satisfactory resolution.

I am currently going through a difficult financial time, and these accounts are seriously affecting my ability to achieve financial stability for myself and my family.

Its important to note that other credit bureaus have already removed these accounts due to lack of verification, so I do not understand why this agency continues to report them as valid. Furthermore, I requested copies of any contracts or documents supposedly linking me to these accounts, and more than 60 days have passed without a response.

I kindly ask for your support and understanding, and I urge you to take immediate action to block or remove these accounts. This situation is causing significant personal and financial harm.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
