Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to solve this problem for some time with the credit reporting agencies and the corporations and debt collectors they allowed to put inaccurate items on my credit report without permissible purpose. They have continued to report items as well without my permission and not being 100 % accurate under 15 US Code 1681e ( b ).

I am a litigious consumer meaning I am unreasonably prone to go to court to settle disputes and am in the process of taking legal action in this matter to enforce my rights under FCRA and FDCPA. This is my official notice.

Complaint narrative:
I went to open a new bank account in my neighborhood. I gave them my IDs. They told me they could not open an acct because I had a charge off from XXXX XXXX  for {$1000.00} from XX/XX/year>. 

I HAVE NEVER BANKED WITH XXXX XXXX. I HAVE NEVER APPLIED FOR ANYTHING FROM XXXX XXXX XXXX CHECK ACCT SAVINGS ACCT CREDIT ACCTS OR LOANS. 
I dont even know where a branch is located. 
I can only conclude that my identity was stolen. I am on XXXX ( SSA ). I dont even own a mobile phone as my brother is filing this for me. 
He set up this email acct for me to use. I dont own a desktop or laptop computer and I pay my bills by money order for my home phone and utilities. 

I would think the acct would have to be opened on line. But how would that be possible unless XXXX XXXX  is XXXX and their security is XXXX. 
My credit rating is probably ruined now. I cant open a new bank account and I can not get a cell phone which was the reason I went to open a checking acct. I only have a savings acct currently. 
This has caused me undue harm and I want that charge off removed immediately from my credit profile and I want a letter of apology from XXXX XXXX  and compensation for the embarrassment I just went through at the local bank I was going to start a relationship with.

Complaint narrative:
Requested a debt validation letter from all 3 credit bureaus, Equifax, TransUnion and Experian in regards to XXXX. The 3 credit bureaus never sent me a debt validation letter. Their " automated system '' just validated the debt within less than 24 hours of contact.

I was able to get in touch with 2 of the credit bureaus by phone. Transunion and Experian. 

Transunion put the debt into disputes even though I have been disputing the debt for months at this point. ( XXXX ) Transunion also removed all of the phone numbers there were invalid. Transunion also removed the employer. 

However, Experian did not help and argued with me about removing illegal and invalid names. 

XXXX did send me a debt validation letter but did NOT send a contract bearing my signature. The debt is invalid/fraudulent. BUT the credit bureaus and Aidvantage are still reporting this debt as valid. 

The credit bureaus and XXXX want me to keep disputing things even after the 30 day stipulation, in regards to disputes. I have provided them ALL with the lack of proof they either didn't or did provide me. There is no legal and valid contract with XXXX. My legal and valid name XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. ONLY Experian will NOT correct it. I have submitted them proof of that via my drivers license and social security card. I have sent all 3 credit bureaus the invalid debt validation letter from XXXX. 

Twice over I have sent proof of everything to the credit bureaus and XXXX and nothing is getting resolved and removed from my credit reports.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to request the deletion of a specific account from my credit report with Equifax Information Service LLC due to inaccurate and inconsistent information, based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ).

Details of the Account in Dispute : Account Number : XXXX, XXXX Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Incorrect information identified in reports from all three credit bureaus.

Legal Grounds for Information Deletion : Right to Accurate Information ( FCRA, Section 609 - 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) : I request that the authenticity of this account be manually verified with the original creditor, rather than relying on the automated e-OSCAR system, and that I receive a detailed explanation of the verification process. 
Reinvestigation of Disputed Information ( FCRA, Section 611 - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : Under this section, I demand a full reinvestigation of the account and immediate correction of any inaccurate information.

Deletion of Inaccurate or Unverified Information ( FCRA, Section 611 ( 5 ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ) : In accordance with the FCRA, if the information can not be verified, it must be removed from the report.

Responsibility of Information Furnishers ( FCRA, Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) : The creditors inability to validate this information warrants its removal. 
Compliance with Accuracy Procedures ( FCRA, Section 607 - 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : The inaccuracy in my report suggests a failure to adhere to required accuracy procedures.

Permissible Purposes for Access ( FCRA, Section 604 - 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) : I request confirmation that access to my report was legitimate. If it was not, I request the removal of any unauthorized data.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, Section 1601 - 15 U.S.C. 1601 ) : TILA reinforces my right to accurate information, and the presence of this inaccurate account contradicts that right.

Supporting Case Law : In Cortez v. Trans Union, LLC ( 617 F.3d 688 ), the responsibility of credit bureaus to adequately investigate consumer disputes is emphasized. Dennis v. BEH-1, LLC further reinforces the obligation to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy.
