XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Phone : XXXX Email : XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ( Last 4 ) : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Bankruptcy Record and Identity Theft Involving Financial Harm Re : Fair Credit Reporting Act 1681i & 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Dear Experian Dispute Department, I am writing to dispute the inaccurate bankruptcy record currently listed on my Experian credit report. I have never filed for bankruptcy, and I believe this entry is the result of identity theft or a misidentification error.

This inaccurate information is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1681i which requires you to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when a consumer disputes an item, and 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( 605B ) which grants consumers the right to block fraudulent, identity theftrelated information from their file.

Additionally, I have confirmed with XXXX that they do not perform the matching of bankruptcy court records to consumer credit files for Experian, meaning the responsibility for this error lies solely with your organization.

This inaccurate bankruptcy record has caused me significant and ongoing financial harm. I have been : Denied multiple credit cards due to this incorrect record appearing on my report.

Subjected to multiple hard inquiries that I did not authorize or initiate, resulting in further damage to my credit profile.

The presence of this false information is not only inaccurate but preventing me from building and accessing good credit opportunities, which is unacceptable.

I am formally requesting the following : 1. Immediate removal and blocking of the bankruptcy record under FCRA 605B, 2. A complete reinvestigation of this account under FCRA 1681i, 3. A written explanation detailing how this record was matched to my identity, 4. Deletion of any unauthorized or fraud-related inquiries that stemmed from this error,

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " US BKPT CT XXXX XXXX XXXX -VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX | United States Bankruptcy Court ) that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

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.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency failed to meet its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires the agency to provide, upon request, a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures used to verify disputed information. I specifically requested the name and contact information of the furnisher, the identity of the person the agency communicated with, and the documentation used to confirm the accuracy of the disputed account. The agency did not provide this information within the 15-day timeframe required by law. This lack of response is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA.
