Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX XXXX I terminated the lease of my XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I paid all the dues by XXXX of XXXX except for their " estimates '' for property tax. The problem is I reside in Texas and there are no such taxes for vehicles for private use. XXXX failed to produce an official bill from the state of Texas, or from my county. They persisted in keeping the charges and then labelled my account as a charge off. I am attaching evidence of having paid all dues besides the estimated tax, and the bogus document that XXXX cited as proof of taxation by state, that does not have a single reference to me or the vehicle I leased. 

I shared this evidence with XXXX, XXXX and Experian. XXXX and XXXX immediately deleted the account. Experian failed to do so despite trying twice. I have no confidence in Experian 's ability to objectively review evidence and reach the right conclusion.

Complaint narrative:
I have lost count of the number of letters I have sent to your bureau regarding my status as a victim of identity theft, as my concerns have yet to be fully resolved. Once again, I am disputing the fraudulent information that is adversely affecting my credit file. Despite my submission of the required FTC complaint, your bureau continues to report these fraudulent accounts on my credit report. I want to emphasize that I have already contacted the banks associated with these accounts, submitted the necessary documents, and had the accounts promptly deleted from their records. Moreover, other credit bureaus have already removed these accounts from their records following the submission of the FTC complaint. Therefore, I am curious about the verification process your bureau employed to continue reporting these fraudulent accounts.
