Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of information contained in my credit report. After a thorough review, I have identified fraudulent accounts that I believe have been reported inaccurately. I request that you investigate and remove the following fraudulent accounts from my credit report immediately. I was the victim & I'm not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Your refusal to acknowledge my identity theft claim compels me to take this matter very seriously. Should you persist in declining my position, I will not hesitate to consult with my attorney to pursue all available legal remedies to rectify this situation. I trust that it is in both of our interests to avoid such an unnecessary legal course of action. I reject your offer & advise you to process my dispute per FCRA laws. Otherwise we will be seeking a legal remedy in this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am beyond frustrated with the way your bureau has handled my identity theft case. I have done everything by the book with disputing these accounts, yet your bureau continues to make absurd claims that the documents Ive submitted are not valid. I know the consumer laws and the courts are very lenient with the banks and credit reporting agencies, but I refuse to let Experian get away with their incompetence any longer. Ive contacted the bank in regards to this matter, and they claimed its been resolved. Ive contacted the law enforcement agency and filed a report and affidavit, and they have confirmed that my identity theft report is valid. And lastly, Ive contacted the credit reporting agencies. The two other credit bureaus have removed the accounts per legal requirement, but your bureau feels Im not following all the steps. This is unacceptable. I demand that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) look closely at this case and hold Experian accountable for their actions. I have filed my identity theft report with a law enforcement agency, and identitytheft.gov is a federal law enforcement agency. There is no excuse for your bureau 's incompetence. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. For the record, I am the person submitting this complaint. I have not hired a third party, nor is anyone helping me. I demand that this matter is handled with a sense of urgency. All this grief of identity theft and not having any access to my credit is creating a ton of emotional and physical distress. Its causing a great deal of strain in my work and personal lives. I am literally losing my mind because I have no other recourse.
