Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute an account appearing on my credit report that is under FTC review due to potential violations of federal law. The creditor has failed to provide a validation of debt in response to my lawful request. Furthermore, there are inaccuracies being reported across multiple credit bureaus, which must be corrected or removed in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   I have requested written validation of this debt from the creditor, yet I have received no response within the time required by law. Additionally, there are inconsistencies in the way this account is reported among different bureaussome show contradictory balances, open/close dates, and payment histories. Under the FCRA, any inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information must be promptly removed from a consumers credit report. Since the creditor has not provided the required validation, this entry can not be verified and therefore must be deleted. LEGAL REFERENCES & VIOLATIONS FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ] Requires that credit reporting agencies investigate disputed information. If it can not be verified, it must be removed. FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ] Stipulates that when an item is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverified, the agency must delete or correct that information. FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) & 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ] Obligates furnishers to accurately report and update information. Continuing to report an account without validating the debt violates this requirement. FCRA 607 ( b ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ] Mandates that credit reporting agencies maintain maximum possible accuracy. Reporting conflicting or unverified data undermines this obligation. FDCPA 807 & 809 [ 15 U.S.C. 1692e & 1692g ] ( if the furnisher is acting as a debt collector ) Debt collectors must provide a validation notice within five days of contact and must cease collection if the debts validity is challenged and not verified. ACTIONS REQUESTED Delete/Remove the disputed account from my credit report immediately, as it remains unverified. Provide written confirmation of the removal or correction of the disputed information. CONCLUSION Please note that continued reporting of an unverified and inaccurate account is a violation of federal law. If Equifax fails to address this matter promptly, I may proceed with formal complaints to the FTC, and other relevant authorities. Thank you for your immediate attention to this dispute. If you require any additional documentation, you may contact me at the address or phone number below.

Complaint narrative:
My card expired XX/XX/25. I assumed I would be sent a new one before expiration as they always came before. I made sure to update my address using the online services. It's now XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I don't have access to my funds. 

Today, XX/XX/XXXX, at around XXXX, I attempted to call customer support via the number on the back of the card, as that worked long ago, but I couldn't reach anyone as the bot wanted account numbers. I called the main line at XXXX. And was able to talk to someone. 

The problem is I couldn't understand this person, nor his name, so I can't tell you who I spoke to. It was an XXXX XXXX XXXX male, but his accent combined with the strange sentence structure didn't make sense. We were going through the verification process, but he just sat there and said nothing after I provided information. I asked 'hello? ' and he said he was waiting on his computer. So we just sat there. I ended the call in the verification process because I'm not confident this person would be able to help me. 

I've used Chase customer service before and it was a complete 180 from this experience. When people were clear, helpful, chatty, they'd resolve banking issues within 5 minutes. This is ridiculous, I've been with Chase for about 15 years and it's like I'm dealing with XXXX XXXX 

Thank you for providing a place to report things like this and thank you for your time. 
Very Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I'd like to emphasize that I am the one submitting this complaint and there is no third party involved. Despite having sent multiple letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid. 

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Demand for Immediate Deletion FCRA Violation & Reinvestigation Request File Number : XXXX Dear TransUnion Dispute Department , This letter is in response to your investigation results dated XX/XX/year>, concerning several accounts you updated or verified as accurate. I am placing you on notice that your actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681b and 1681i.

You have failed to provide any contract, application, or instrument bearing my signature or permission for the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) also requires you to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information and provide me with the method of verification, including the name and address of the data furnisher and documentation used to verify the account. Updating and continuing to report these accounts without documented proof of ownership is a direct violation of this law. 

I did not authorize you to report this information. By law, you can not assume or presume ownership of any alleged debt without verifiable documentation showing my signature and agreement. 

You are hereby demanded to : 1.Immediately delete the disputed accounts listed above from my credit report ; 2.Provide me with documented proof ( not just data furnisher responses ) showing that I gave explicit permission for these accounts to be reported ; 3.Initiate a full reinvestigation in accordance with FCRA law and provide me with written results. 

Failure to comply will result in me filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my state Attorney Generals office, and I will seek remedies for damages under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o for negligent and willful non-compliance. 

This is your final notice to correct this violation. You have 15 days from the date of this letter to respond and remove the unverifiable information or provide legal proof.
