Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I entered into a disaster forbearance, due to a storm in XXXX. Prior to the forbearance ended, I called on XX/XX/XXXX to apply for resolution to the forbearance. I was told the process was an application, which I completed over the phone. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called back and was told I was put into another forbearance. I asked that I be reevaluated for other programs. I again did an application over the phone. I was assured that I was in loss mitigation and that my credit report would not be affected during this process. I called again on XX/XX/XXXX for a status update, I was told the application that was supposed to be done on XX/XX/XXXX was not done and I had to do another one, which I did. On XX/XX/XXXX, this same thing happened again ; again on XX/XX/XXXX I went through the same process again after I received approval for the Stand Alone Partial Claim twice, and it was not honored either time. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called after returning the acceptance of the Partial Claim and was told I was put back in a forbearance. Each time I spoke with my mortgage company I asked about my credit and was assured that I would not be affected because I was in this process. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called after finding out that it has been reported that I was delinquent on my credit report and was on hold for one hour and 15 minutes for a supervisor, the supervisor answered and put me back on hold. I was then told that she would get back to me within 48hrs. I have not received a call back to date. My credit is still affected and my issue with the forbearance remains.

" After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. Your agency is conspiring with these creditors against me in committing aggravated identity theft and I have sustained defamation of my character, just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion is reporting an erroneous NON EXISTING item ( Bankruptcy ) to my consumer report that they are claiming is verified when the furnisher ( XXXX ) has conducted an investigation after i disputed the item and they deleted and removed the item ( SEE ATTACHMENTS ). Furthermore, i never gave permissible purpose to furnish any negative item to my consumer report, much less an item that can not be actively verified! I have disputed several times with TransUnion yet they continue to reflect this outdated/ erroneous item which is directed violation of my rights as a consumer. This suggests willful non compliance after my request for maximum accuracy. This inaccurate reporting of this item has caused a severe damage to my credit worthiness. I am requesting this item ( Bankruptcy ) be DELETED and REMOVED from my consumer report.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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. ''
