Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep frustration and concern about the multiple unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my credit file. This is the fourth time I am raising this issue, and it is disheartening that the problem persists, negatively impacting my financial well-being. I am seeking your immediate assistance in addressing and rectifying this matter. 

I discovered that my credit report issued by XXXX, Equifax and XXXX Credit Bureaus contained several fraudulent entries that are not connected to my financial activities. I have diligently followed the dispute process as instructed on previous occasions ( first, second, and third attempts ), providing evidence to support the fraudulent nature of these entries. Despite my best efforts, these fraudulent items continue to harm my creditworthiness. 

I kindly request that you take the following actions to address this issue : Conduct a thorough and comprehensive review of the fraudulent items, considering all the evidence provided in my previous dispute attempts. 

Remove the fraudulent items from my credit file immediately upon confirming their fraudulent nature. 

Investigate the origin of these fraudulent items and take necessary steps to prevent their reoccurrence on my credit report. 

Provide me with written confirmation once these fraudulent items have been removed from my credit file. 

Ensure that no further negative impacts occur on my credit report due to these fraudulent entries. 

I understand the importance of maintaining accurate credit reporting, and I trust that Credit Bureaus takes these matters seriously and will work diligently to rectify this situation promptly. 

Please consider this letter as a formal notice of my complaint. I expect a response within the exact timeframe from the date of this letter. It is essential that these fraudulent items are promptly removed from my credit file and that the issues are fully resolved during this time frame. Failure to do so may necessitate further action, such as seeking legal remedies or contacting the appropriate regulatory authorities. I am asking for your immediate assistance to remove the following fraud items in my credit file : 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 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 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: ZIONS BANCORPORATION
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Since XXXX of XXXX  attempted to fix negative items reported on my credit reports that Zion First National Bank had made. It was reported that i was 30 days late in XX/XX/XXXX, and 60 days late in XXXX of XXXX  on a credit card from this bank. These negative items were reported late after Bankruptcy was filed by the court in XX/XX/XXXX. Under Fair Credit Reporting Act, by law, negative items may not be reported after bankruptcy is filed in bankruptcy court. Once dispute was filed, Zion Bank then reported more negative information. XX/XX/XXXX, after filing a former complaint to this bureau, Zion Bank then finally adjusted my report info. I have now found that this bank then reported me 30 days late in XX/XX/XXXX, before the bankruptcy was filed. Their own records showed that my first late was XX/XX/XXXX, after bankruptcy was filed. I again did a dispute, and as of XX/XX/XXXX, Zion Bank then adjusted my report to show new negative information as a current charge off, and eliminated info that my account was included in my bankruptcy. Also confirmed to the reporting agencies false info of XX/XX/XXXXXXXX late payment which according to their records was from XXXX XXXXFor months whenever disputing with this company, explaining the law, more new negative info has been added time and time again, hurting my credit scores for a period of over a year. This seems to be in retaliation to any dispute. I am also now working with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX to file a formal complaint to the courts, and possible law suit for damages. 

This information was included in previous complaint made on Zion Bank to this agency.
