XX/XX/scrub>XXXX  Re : Letter to remove Inaccurate Information. 

To whom it may concern, This is to inform you that I have recently received a copy of my credit report and found several items on the report that are inaccurate. The accounts in question are listed below. 

I am disputing the validity of the alleged debts listed below in entirely. Again, I request verification of all alleged debt, specifically, copies of the original purchase agreements with my wet signature. The agreements must be with the original creditors and signed by all parties involved. I am requesting this because I have had different companies reach out to me about the same alleged debts. 

I have already contacted all listed debtors to request the original purchase agreements with signatures. However, it has been over 60 days and I have yet to receive my requested documents. I presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact therefore exists. 


Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am entitled to request validation of the debt that I allegedly owe. This is not a request just to verify the debt, but rather a request for you to provide complete and competent evidence of my contractual obligations or any legal obligations to pay said debts. If proof can not be provided, please delete these from my credit report. 

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 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 PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOC 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 PORTFOLIO SERV Dispute reason : Inaccurate.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my card number was fraudulently used online on the website XXXX for the amount of {$260.00}. The website is an automotive parts supplier. The transaction went through to process the order on XX/XX/XXXX. The same night my card was trying to be used online at another retailer. I was able to deny the smaller transaction and file a dispute for the {$260.00} payment to XXXX through my bank, Chase. The amount is over my alert for Chase as well, and the transaction was still processed. After 28 days of investigation from my bank, my claim was denied and I was charged {$260.00} because it was approved by my financial institution stating that they had enough evidence to prove the transaction was valid. Chase was able to send me copies of the evidence they used to investigate this claim which the information for the delivery and email address does not match mine. The items ordered were delivered to an entire other state, in addition, the email address does not match mine. The fraudulent consumer was somehow able to obtain my billing address, unsure how that is possible.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

For the past several months, I've been sending certified mail to XXXX and Equifax disputing inaccurate information on my consumer report. They haven't provided me with a proper investigation nor have they provided with the proper documentation. They aren't properly investigating these issues. When i spoke with a representative on the phone, they informed that they are using a software and no LIVE human is reviewing my disputes which is why I'm not getting results. It is their job to review this information, not a computer to do it. I recently mailed them letters, which i will attach below, disputing these inaccuracies along with proof of ID and proof of address.
