Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681C-2 ) that you, Equifax, the credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within four ( 4 ) business days of you receiving this complaint.

I am filling this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report five fraudulent accounts appearing on my consumer FICO Equifax credit report which I do not recognize as reported and which are the result of identity theft and fraud. These fraudulent accounts consist of a revolving account opened at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX XXXX, a revolving account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  under the account number XXXX XXXX, a revolving account opened at XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX XXXX, an installment account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX XXXX, and an installment account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX XXXX. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer XXXX 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 right within the FCRA and FDCPA laws. 

These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent charge-offs, fraudulent late payments, and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer XXXX credit report. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments or in charge-offs as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and charge-offs, appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments and charge-offs are a result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached the copy of the FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ) as proof from the XXXX Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from my consumer credit report and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Full Forensic Audit and Investigation of Mortgage Servicing by XXXX XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this complaint to formally request immediate intervention regarding the servicing of my mortgage by XXXX XXXX. I am invoking my rights under 12 U.S. Code 2605 ( e ) of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ( RESPA ) and submitting this as a Qualified Written Request ( QWR ). I demand a complete forensic audit of my mortgage account, dating back to the time XXXX XXXX assumed servicing responsibilities. 

The central issue is that substantial amounts of money have been placed in unapplied funds status and then removed or reversed without explanation. There are countless payment reversals every month, which makes it impossible to follow the trail of funds or understand how any of my payments have been applied. The lack of transparency and the high frequency of these reversals raise serious concerns about the integrity and legality of XXXX servicing practices. 

In their recent response, XXXX XXXX failed to directly address my concerns. Instead, they referenced unrelated matters such as prior forbearance plans and assistance programs that are not relevant to the issues raised. This is unacceptable and constitutes a non-compliant, boilerplate response that evades the substance of my inquiry. 

I would also like to note that I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have extensive experience in the banking and mortgage industry, and I fully understand how mortgage servicing is supposed to operate. If I can not follow XXXXXXXX XXXX transaction history despite my background, that should be viewed as a major red flag indicating a lack of proper transparency, accountability, and internal controls. I am invoking my rights under 12 U.S. Code 2605 ( e ) of RESPA and submitting this Qualified Written Request for a complete audit of the transaction history. 

I believe the true amount of mishandled funds may be significantly higher than I have been able to calculate based on the records made available to me. That uncertainty, caused by XXXX lack of transparency and erratic transaction history, is precisely why a full audit is necessary. 

I respectfully urge the CFPB to prioritize this complaint and ensure that XXXX Mortgage is held accountable for providing full clarity and restitution where appropriate. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, Experian received a certified letter containing a formal dispute under FCRA 605B, which included a valid FTC Identity Theft Report, signed affidavit, government-issued ID, Social Security card , and proof of address. The purpose of this submission was to block fraudulent accounts from my credit report.

Despite receiving all legally required documentation, Experian failed to open a dispute, failed to block the accounts within the 4-business-day window, and has not issued any formal response or acknowledgment. This is a direct violation of FCRA 605B ( b ) and 611, which requires immediate blocking and timely reinvestigation. 

I followed up with a second certified letter that was received XX/XX/year> including a formal legal notice, citations of federal law, and a {$7500.00} invoice for damages based on their noncompliance. As of XX/XX/year>, no action has been taken, and my online portal shows no dispute activity. 

Experians ongoing refusal to process my identity theft dispute properly reflects willful noncompliance, abusive stall tactics, and a denial of consumer rights already addressed in recent CFPB lawsuits
