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 was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) requesting that Experian immediately block and permanently remove multiple fraudulent accounts, including Collections, Charge-Offs, Late Payments, and Hard Inquiries, that were added to my credit report without my knowledge or authorization. These accounts are the direct result of fraudulent activity, not any legitimate consumer transaction, and I have provided a valid FTC Fraud Report XXXX along with supporting documentation, including proof that my personal data was compromised in the Equifax data breach. Specifically, XXXX XXXX XXXX has reported two fraudulent collection accountsboth listed under account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXwith one reflecting a balance of {$2500.00} and the other showing a balance of {$4400.00}. These accounts were not authorized by me and were opened as a result of identity theft ; therefore, they must be blocked and permanently removed from my credit report in accordance with my rights under FCRA 605B. I am filing this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report two fraudulent accounts appearing on my consumer FICO Experian credit report which I do not recognize as reported and which are the result of identity theft and fraud. These fraudulent accounts were reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX, both opened on XX/XX/year> under account number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, with balances of {$2500.00} and {$4400.00}. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). It is the credit bureaus legal obligation under the FCRA to review and block fraudulent, inaccurate, or incomplete information from a consumers file within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving proper documentation. I am demanding the immediate removal of all fraudulent items, a stop to all related collection activity, and confirmation that this dispute has been escalated for manual investigation, not automated processing. Failure to act in accordance with federal law may result in further legal action to protect my consumer rights.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies on my credit report remain unresolved. This prolonged issue has led to ongoing financial strain and has severely impacted my well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been both frustrating and mentally exhausting. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history, including the timely correction or removal of any outdated or incorrect information. I am urging you to take immediate action to either update or delete the reported late payment entries. Continued failure to act would be a direct violation of my rights under federal law. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution.
