I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my frustration and disappointment with the numerous attempts made to remove fraudulent items from my account. 

Despite multiple attempts and assurances from your representatives, the fraudulent items have not been adequately addressed. Each attempt to rectify this issue has been met with delays, conflicting information, and ultimately, no resolution. This prolonged and ineffective process has not only caused significant inconvenience but has also eroded my trust in your company 's ability to safeguard its customers against fraudulent activity. 

As a loyal customer, I expected a more efficient and proactive response from your company in addressing this matter. The repeated failure to promptly remove the fraudulent items from my account has not only compromised my financial security but has also caused unnecessary stress and frustration. 

I urge you to take immediate action to rectify this situation. I request that you expedite the process of removing the fraudulent items from my account without further delay. Additionally, I expect transparent communication regarding the steps being taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future. 

Furthermore, I believe it is reasonable to request compensation for the inconvenience and distress caused by this oversight. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves and provide me with a satisfactory resolution promptly. With this, I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraud items in my credit file : MO CHLD SPRT XXXX Balance Owed : {$2900.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MO XXXX MO CHLD SPRT XXXX Balance Owed : {$2100.00} XXXX XXXXXX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX MO CHLD SPRT XXXX Balance Owed : {$2900.00} JXXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$600.00} XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XX/XX/2XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/2023.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> RE : Request for Removal of Inaccurate Derogatory Information from Consumer Credit Report To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding the accuracy of information contained within my consumer credit report. It has come to my attention that certain derogatory information, specifically pertaining to XXXX XXXX XXXX account XXXX, continues to be reported inaccurately on my credit file. 
I must emphasize the gravity of this situation, as it is not only a breach of federal laws and statutes but also a violation of my rights as a consumer. Upon disputing the aforementioned account with Experian and XXXX, it was promptly removed from my credit files due to an inability to verify or validate its accuracy. 
In accordance with the procedures outlined in 15 U.S.C. 1681i and its subsections, I have diligently pursued the removal of this disputed account from all relevant consumer reporting agencies. Despite my repeated efforts and requests, Experian has thus far failed to acknowledge or act upon my legitimate concerns. 
Furthermore, it has come to my attention that the reporting of this account may also be in violation of IRS debt cancellation regulations. According to IRS guidelines, cancelled debt income, such as that resulting from a charge-off or collection, should not be reported on a consumer 's credit report. Given that XXXX and XXXX have already acknowledged and corrected this error, I expect XXXX to do the same without further delay. 
I urge you to take immediate action to rectify this situation by removing the inaccurate and misleading information from my credit file. Failure to do so may result in further escalation of this matter, including potential consumer or legal complaints.

Enclosed with this letter, you will find a copy of my credit report highlighting the violations, as well as documentation confirming the removal of this account by other consumer reporting agencies. As well as the General Debt Cancellation from the IRS. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will address this issue with the seriousness and urgency it deserves. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX [ Enclosures : Copy of credit report, documentation of removal by other consumer reporting agencies ] Please note that a copy of this letter has been sent via certified mail to ensure its receipt and has also been forwarded to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of California for their records.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

U.S. Bank National Association is the indenture trustee for XXXX XXXX XXXX. Therefore under the indenture trustee act of XXXX & XXXX, they have failed to comply with lawful directives and have committed securities fraud.
