Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

I have sent a debt validation letter to Experian back in XXXX asking them to provide me with the proper documentation for the listed accounts because they are not my accounts and are the result of identity theft and fraud.

Experian has falsely updated the listed accounts with late payments that are hurting my credit when in fact the accounts are not my accounts. Experian has failed to conduct the proper investigation on my dispute request therefore please remove the following accounts from my credit immediately : XXXX XXXX # XXXX {$5.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX {$380.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX {$150.00} All three of these accounts are not my accounts but are reporting late payments on my credit. I am a victim of identity theft, and these accounts were opened fraudulently therefore they should be removed immediately.
