I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unauthorized accounts appearing on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to have these accounts removed, they persist, causing significant damage to my financial reputation and well-being. The accounts in question are in clear violation of 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes. It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

Complaint narrative:
I am in disagreement with the account listed below which still appears on my credit report, even after your investigation. I would like this immediately deleted. The inaccuracies are highly injurious to my credit score. 
Experian : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611.

Please provide the names and business addresses of each individual with whom you verified above so that I may follow up. Please send me an updated copy of my credit report after your investigation. These were both ignored this needs to be removed from my credit report!
These accounts are Repeatedly reporting charge-offs every month!

Every time the account updates my statute of limitations is extended ; every update makes the account look newer than it is. REAGING THE ACCOUNT IS ILLEGAL! 

These accounts are not indicating when or if the account has been sold so that is a misrepresentation of the account status as well as not reflecting a XXXX XXXX balance after transferred, sold and paid. 

As well as once the charge-off goes past 180 days, the account is DONE!

You can not have on time payments! You can not add anything else to it. There should be nothing left on that account.

These accounts were charged off on the following date XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, XXXX, XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Since then, the account has repeatedly been updated as charge-off every month. This is an update on the payment history. A charged off account should NOT include an active payment history. This inaccurate information falsely manipulates the statute of limitations. You failed to investigate this account properly and your neglect has violated my rights. I am demanding a deletion of these accounts.

Complaint narrative:
I had/have a Cashapp account and they asked me to verify the account with my social security number. When I entered my social security number, the account immediately shut down. That leads me to believe someone is committing fraud using my social security number. I filed a complaint on XX/XX/year> and was given a case number # XXXX but received no follow up. I complained again today XX/XX/year> that NO ONE has addressed my original complaining concerns so I was given another complaint case number of # XXXX. Then told me that they were closing my complaint and only their email support team can answer my questions. But I believe the email support dept is ficticious since I never received a response. So I filed another complaint today XX/XX/year> that they are improperly closing complaints without addressing the concern and was given complaint case number # XXXX. I believe they are purposely giving me case numbers then closing them out to hide the possible fraud going on. I need to know why my social security number initiated closing my account immediately for my only logical reasoning is due to fraud. And their lack of investigating this makes me feel like they are complicit
