On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a formal dispute to Experian under Section 605B of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), providing my official FTC Identity Theft Report and requesting the immediate blocking of fraudulent accounts. By law, the agency was required to block the disputed information within four ( 4 ) business days.

I

nstead of complying, the bureau simply verified the account using internal data from the furnisher, without providing any written certification, signed contract, or details of the investigation, as required under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) and 609 ( a ). More than 30 days have passed, and the fraudulent account still remains on my credit file. This constitutes a violation of FCRA 605B, 611, and 607 ( b ), as the agency failed to : Block the information within the required 4-day period. Provide the results of the reinvestigation and the verification procedures.

Remove unverifiable information from my report.

As a result, my credit score remains artificially low, I have been denied credit, I am forced to pay higher interest rates, and I continue to suffer financial and reputational harm.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
