Complaint narrative:
Ive noticed that my credit report contains personal information that isnt correct, and because of this, accounts that dont belong to me are showing up. I am a victim of identity theft, and my information was used without my permission. As a result, there are accounts and items listed on my report that I have never been associated with in any way. 

I followed the proper steps by filing an identity theft report with the FTC, as Experian instructed, and I also submitted that report to you. Despite doing this, these fraudulent accounts are still showing on my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
This formal complaint concerns unauthorized inquiries appearing on my credit report, made without my consent and lacking a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). These inquiries are negatively impacting my credit profile and do not meet the FCRAs requirements for accessing a consumers credit report without express authorization. 
Details of Disputed Inquiries : The following inquiries are disputed, as verified by the creditors, who confirmed they were conducted without my knowledge or authorization : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian Legal Basis for Removal : Under the FCRA, specifically Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), access to a credit report is only permissible when explicit consumer consent or a clearly permissible purpose exists. The listed inquiries do not meet these legal requirements. Additionally, under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ), any unverifiable information must be promptly removed from the credit report.

I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau by submitting a formal dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX. However, I have not received an adequate response or the removal of the unauthorized inquiries, which I believe constitutes noncompliance with FCRA provisions. 
Supporting Case Law for Removal : Legal precedents reinforce the need for removal of unauthorized inquiries in the absence of a permissible purpose. In XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ), the XXXX XXXX ruled that accessing a credit report without explicit consumer consent or a legitimate purpose constitutes a violation of the FCRA. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) reaffirms that credit bureaus are obligated to remove all inaccurate or unverifiable information.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute & Deletion Request XXXX Account Reporting Violations ( Metro 2 / FCRA ) Account No. XXXX XXXX Dear Equifax Consumer Relations Department, I am formally disputing the accuracy and compliance of the above-referenced XXXX Account No. XXXX XXXX as reported on my consumer credit report. The current reporting is inconsistent with Metro 2 reporting guidelines and FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which require data furnishers to provide complete and accurate information.

Specifically : The Account Status ( Metro 2 Base Field 17A ) and Payment Rating ( 17B ) fields are inconsistent with the current facts of my payment history. The status of " NOT_MORE_THAN_FOUR_PAYMENT_PAST_DUE '' does not accurately reflect the circumstances surrounding the delinquency, which includes technical payment issues and reliance on an active Credit Protection feature ( which I have paid for ).

The Date of First Delinquency ( XX/XX/year> ) is being disputed as incomplete and potentially inaccurate due to a technical error in payment processing and the fact that I am actively paying for Credit Protection.

Under FCRA 611 ( a ), I request that you conduct a proper reinvestigation of this tradeline and either bring the reporting fully into Metro 2 compliance or delete the account entirety from my credit file.

Failure to report accurate information after notice of dispute constitutes willful noncompliance under FCRA 616 & 617.

Please provide written confirmation of deletion or correction within 30 days of receipt of this letter, as required by law. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX Account No : XXXX XXXX
