Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX SSN : XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Dear, TransUion I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies in my credit report related to my XXXX account. I obtained a copy of my report and believe the following information is incorrect : Creditor Name : XXXX Account Number : [ Your Account Number ] Reported Balance : {$510.00} Highest Balance : {$440.00} Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Account Status : Closed Remarks : Charged off as bad debt Balance Discrepancy : The reported balance of {$510.00} exceeds the highest balance of {$440.00}. 
Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information in consumer reports. 
Payment History : The last payment is noted as XX/XX/XXXX, with no subsequent payments recorded. If I have made payments after this date, they should be reflected in the payment history. 
Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information and receive a reasonable investigation. 
Payment Status : The report states " No Info '' for payment status, which is misleading.

Und

er 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), agencies must report accurately and can not omit critical information that misrepresents the consumers credit behavior. Charge-Off Status : The remarks indicate " Charged off as bad debt. '' I would like clarification on this status and if it has been resolved. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ), furnishers of information must provide accurate information to credit reporting agencies, including details about charge-offs. Late Payment History : The report indicates 0 times 30/60/90 days late, which may not accurately reflect the history of this account.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( b ), furnishers must correct inaccurate information after receiving notice of a dispute from a consumer reporting agency.

In accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information identified as resulting from alleged identity theft within 4 business days of receipt.

I am requesting the original copy of the agreement and terms and conditions related to this account. Failure to comply will forfeit your claims and require you to delete the items listed above. You are required to block these transactions from being reported to my consumer report within 4 days from the date of receipt of this notice. 
Please delete this account unless you wish to be held accountable for {$1000.00} per account. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I sent your company a letter disputing account number XXXX & XXXX withXXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>. I received a response from you dated XX/XX/year> where you stated that the items had been deleted. Please see copy of both letters enclosed. 

After reviewing my credit report again, I have noticed that the items have been reinserted. It is my understanding that deleted items can not be reinserted unless the original providers of the information have verified that it was being reported correctly. Is that what has happened? If so, I am requesting all documentation proving the certification of accuracy. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act also states that if for any reason a deleted item is reinserted into the credit file, the credit bureau is to notify the consumer in writing within 5 days of reinsertion. I do not recall receiving such notification, therefore you violated the FCRA. 

I am willing to give you more time to furnish this information to me before I pursue filing a complaint against your company for the above mentioned FCRA violation. Please forward to me : The name, address, and telephone number ( if available ) of the furnishers of the information confirming its accuracy. 
Documentation stating that the items have been reinserted and the date of reinsertion. 
Documentation stating that, as a consumer, I continue to have the right to add a status of disputed by consumer to the item.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my serious concerns regarding the verification status of certain accounts on my credit report, specifically those associated with the merchant XXXX. 

Despite my repeated inquiries, I have not received satisfactory verification from XXXX regarding XXXX accounts listed under my name. When I reached out to Upgrade for clarification, they indicated that the accounts had been sold and advised me to direct my questions to the new account holder. However, the new account holder has not reported these accounts due to a lack of proof of verification, leaving me in a difficult position. 

I find it alarming that Experian continues to mark these accounts as verified without providing any clear documentation or evidence that they are indeed attached to my Social Security number. This situation raises serious concerns about the accuracy of my credit report and potential violations of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I kindly request that Experian provide me with all documentation that XXXX submitted to support the verification of these accounts. It is crucial for me to have this information to understand how these accounts were opened and to ensure that my credit report is accurate. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your response.

Complaint narrative:
I tried purchasing concert tickets and I found a seller on XXXX. They requested that I made payments using XXXX XXXX and I used my Capital One Debit Card to access my funds and to pay the seller. When I did send the money over to the seller they never did send the concert tickets I purchased. I did try and communicate with the merchant that I would like my money back but nothing productive came out of the conversation. I contacted Capital One on XX/XX/year>XXXX  to dispute the charge of {$340.00} and they made their decision on XX/XX/year> to deny my claim. After hearing about this decision I tried to do a rebuttal and I heard from them a second time on XX/XX/year> where they maintained their initial decision about the dispute. I do not believe that the {$340.00} shouldve been taken from my account since I did not receive the produce I have hoped to purchase.
