Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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 ( XXXX ) 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 "

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding the inaccurate and unlawful reporting of a XXXX  on my credit report by Experian, XXXX XXXX XXXX. This entry violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( c ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( e ).

Details of the Violation : 1. 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( c ) prohibits the reporting of obsolete information and establishes the timeframe in which certain negative items can appear on a consumers report. This bankruptcy has been reported outside the permissible time limits.

2. 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( e ) mandates the accuracy and verification of information included in consumer reports. I obtained a letter from the court where the bankruptcy was filed, explicitly stating that they do not report public records to credit bureaus. Therefore, the inclusion of this bankruptcy is both inaccurate and unverifiable.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Report Entries from Affirm , Inc .

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal dispute regarding inaccurate credit report entries from Affirm, Inc. that have been reported to my credit file. Specifically, I have discovered five accounts from Affirm , Inc. reporting late payments dating from XX/XX/XXXX to the present. I am concerned that these entries are fraudulent, as I have never opened any accounts with Affirm , Inc . 
Upon reviewing my credit report, I was alarmed to find that these accounts were linked to my personal information, and late payments have been reported that I did not incur. I believe that my personal identification ( ID ) has been compromised, and that someone may have opened these accounts fraudulently in my name without my knowledge or consent.

I have already attempted to resolve this issue directly with Affirm , Inc., but unfortunately, my efforts have not resulted in any resolution or assistance from the company. Additionally, I have contacted XXXX, one of the major credit bureaus, to dispute these entries and provided them with all necessary documentation to verify my claims. However, despite these efforts, the accounts remain on my credit report. 
I would like to formally request that these accounts be deleted from my credit report, as they were opened without my consent and I did not authorize any third party, including Affirm , Inc., to share my personal information. As a consumer, I am entitled to have accurate and fair information reported about my credit history, and I am requesting that you assist me in rectifying this matter.

Please investigate this situation promptly and ensure that these fraudulent accounts are removed from my credit file. I have attached relevant documentation, including my dispute correspondence with Affirm , Inc., and my communication with XXXX, to support my case. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to protect my rights as a consumer and to assist in the removal of these fraudulent accounts from my credit report. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX FTC Report XXXX XXXX
