Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the unauthorized inquiry listed on my credit I am writing to formally dispute the unauthorized inquiries listed on my credit report, which are fraudulent in nature. Despite my multiple correspondences with your bureau and the submission of the required FTC Identity Theft Report, these inquiries remain on my credit file. 

As a victim of identity theft, I have taken all necessary steps to address this issue, including contacting the institutions associated with these inquiries and providing comprehensive documentation to substantiate my claims. Despite these efforts, your bureau has yet to resolve this matter satisfactorily. 

It is essential to note that the fraudulent nature of these inquiries has been confirmed by the respective institutions, and they have assured me that these inquiries were erroneous and should be removed. Furthermore, other credit bureaus have already acted on the FTC report and removed these unauthorized inquiries from their records. 

Therefore, I am perplexed and concerned by your bureau 's continued reporting of these fraudulent inquiries. This ongoing issue not only undermines the accuracy of my credit report but also causes significant distress and potential financial harm to me.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat this item is being reported correctly? Who verified this item? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the item listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the companies directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THIS ITEM? I believe you have not verified this item based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.
