Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction regarding the persistent presence of fraudulent account on my credit report. Upon reporting the case of identity theft, I promptly contacted the companies associated with these fraudulent account. While they acknowledged the validity of the report, they expressed their inability to provide records. Nevertheless, they assured me that the fraudulent account would be promptly removed upon submission of the required FTC report. It is noteworthy that both XXXX and XXXX have already purged this account from their records after identifying and correcting an error. I am puzzled by the continuation of verification for this account by your bureau when other agencies have already eliminated them. I urge you to expunge this account from my file, as this is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. I insist on immediate action to remove this fraudulent account from my credit report, as the companies have acknowledged their fraudulent nature and agreed to their removal. Please delete this fraudulent account promptly, as they are the result of identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I sent letters to Experian informing them of fraudulent information on my credit report ( please see the attachments ). The letters included my driver 's license, Social Security card, utility bill, FTC Report, Identity Theft Affidavit, and more. 

Following the submission of these letters, Experian took more than 30 days to provide me with an update on my dispute, thus violating the FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which requires credit reporting agencies to respond within 30 days. Therefore, I submitted a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 

Following my complaint, Experian responded and sent me letters in the mail stating that the fraudulent information was being removed from my credit report. However, as I was checking my credit report on XX/XX/year>, I saw that Experian had reinserted one of the fraudulent accounts into my credit report ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 

I am filing this complaint because Experian is reporting fraudulent information and because Experian has again violated the FCRA by failing to comply with Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), which mandates notification to the consumer and certification of accuracy before reinserting previously deleted information.
