Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Information on Consumer Report Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the information contained in my consumer report, as obtained from your agency. Upon reviewing my consumer report, I identified instances where non-public information has been disclosed to a non-affiliated third party without my written consent, which constitutes a clear violation of the obligations outlined in 15 USC 6802. 

Upon reviewing the relevant statutes, it has come to my attention that I was never provided with the option to opt out of the disclosure of my personal information, as required by law. I hereby request that you provide evidence demonstrating that I was given the opportunity to exercise my right to opt out, as mandated by law. 

Furthermore, I would like to draw your attention to 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes. I never provided written consent for the reporting of my personal information, and the lack of such consent raises concerns about potential identity theft, constituting a violation under 18 USC 1028a. A report has already been filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my reference number for the case is XXXX. 

In light of the above, I demand that you promptly remove the following account from my consumer report : Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I request that you adhere to the requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681c-2 and remove the mentioned account within four business days from the date of this letter. It is crucial to emphasize that my dispute is not with the creditor but with your reporting agency. Reporting items on my consumer report without obtaining my written consent and failing to provide an option to opt out is a direct violation of my rights. 

I expect immediate action to rectify these issues, and I request that you provide written confirmation of the removal of the disputed information. Additionally, I demand that you cease all methods of verification related to this account. 

Failure to address this matter within a reasonable timeframe will leave me with no option but to pursue legal action to protect my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I informed Wayfair that a fraudulent charge was on my card. I told them I did not make the purchase from XXXX XXXX They sent me a letter telling me it was going to be removed from my account and credit report. THEN ANOTHER charge was fraudlent on my account on XXXX XXXX. THEY DID NOT CANCEL CARD! This allowed ongoing identity theft. I disputed it on XXXX XXXX XXXX  and they both came back verified. Citi bank reported the payment as 90 days late on XXXX  They have been informed for over 3 months that this is fraud. This information is the result of identity theft and it has dropped my credit score almost 100 points. I called today and they said they would take care of it. This is the only negative thing on my credit report and it is causing my financial harm. They need to cancel the card and change the account number and fix my credit report to Pays as agreed, NEVER late. I'm sending my third dispute to the bureaus today along with this complaint.
