Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to have verified these. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Experian ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my profound disappointment, anger, and disbelief regarding your handling of the fraudulent accounts that has appeared on my credit report. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this issue and my diligent submission of all required documentation, including the FTC Identity Theft Report, these fraudulent accounts remains unresolved, and my credit report continues to reflect inaccuracies that are severely impacting my financial standing and peace of mind. 

I brought these fraudulent accounts to your attention because I was assured that an investigation would be conducted, and the accounts would be removed if found to be fraudulent. Since then, I have written multiple letters and provided all necessary documents, including : A detailed explanation of the fraudulent accounts. 
The completed FTC Identity Theft Report. 
Copies of my identification documents. 
Any additional information requested by your office. 

Despite my compliance and the clear evidence presented, I am deeply frustrated to find that my efforts have been in vain. The accounts in question remain on my credit report, and I have not received any satisfactory resolution or clear communication regarding the status of your investigation. 

It is disheartening to experience such neglect and lack of responsiveness from an institution that plays a crucial role in safeguarding consumer financial information. The continued presence of these fraudulent accounts are not only unjust but also a severe breach of my rights as a consumer. I expect prompt and decisive action to rectify this situation.
