I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX. I received notification from Experian credit reporting between XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> about my personal information that has been breached by other unknown service sources I am not aware of and that my personal information that may have been breached was my name, birth day, home address, social security information. I am not happy with this news knowing that my personal information was breached and Experian failed to fully monitor, protect and safeguard my personal information. I even attempted several times to log into my Experian account via app to view the problem and check what personal information of mine have been breached but the Experian app does not allow me to and instead states in order for me to know what information was breached and viewed, I would have to upgrade my membership plan from the free basic to a monthly payment membership. This is absurd and I feel that it is the companies ploy to profit on their company limiting consumers better options to fully have their personal information safeguarded. I am asking CFPB to fully investigate Experian and this issue. And I hope to have results from this issue real soon.

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 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 ( 2 ) 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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I obtained a copy of my consumer report and notified these agencies multiple times, specifically on XX/XX/2024 the most recent i've sent, about the items I disputed. Despite these notifications, the matter remains unresolved in a manner that is fair and equitable to me, the consumer, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I sent my notice to these agencies, which included a FTC Identity Theft Report, A FTC Affidavit and I also filed a complaint with the CFPB. Along with this letter, I have also included an Affidavit of Truth to further substantiate my claim. 

I explained the violations your agency committed under the FCRA, while informing your agency of the fact that these items were reported without my expressed, written consent. This leads to way of identity theft, which leads to a violation of the civil liability section of the FCRA, as I informed you in the previous notices, which I have attached once more again for your record! 

This is a FINAL NOTICE to give your agency an opportunity to correct this situation or I will be forced to protect my credit rating and file a lawsuit against your agency. I have proven to your agency on many occasions that these items are a violation of the FCRA and should in fact be DELETED but your agency continues to violate me so I dont know what else to do besides suing your agency at this point. 

I have suffered emotional distress as a result of this matter and I demand this matter be resolved in a fair and equitable manner, which still hasnt been done

XX/XX/XXXX : Called ( XXXX ) XXXX and spoke with customer service who said check had not been received, double checked check amount in system. XXXX, the cs rep, finally found my check claiming it had been put toward my " third vehicle. '' I told her I did not have a third vehicle and she said I did. I said no, I do not. She looked into it further and found that the {$32000.00} check with my name, my XXXX, etc on it had been applied to a DIFFERENT XXXX XXXX XXXX 's account in a DIFFERENT state than Texas on XX/XX/XXXX. Was put on hold a number of times while she further looked into it. Told me a supervisor would fix it in XXXX business days. I told her XXXX XXXX is needing the title and how long will it take.
