Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek your guidance and intervention pertaining to a matter concerning my credit report. On XXXX XXXX I submitted a Method of Verification request to Experianunder the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ). 

The aforementioned request was prompted by certain items on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate. Under the FCRA, I have the right to dispute such items and, in turn, the bureaus are obligated to investigate the disputed information within a period of 30 days. Furthermore, if I question the outcome of this investigation, I am entitled to know how the bureaus verified the accuracy of the data. 

As of today 's date, it has been 15 days since I made the Method of Verification request, yet I have received no response from any of the bureaus. This inaction is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA. The FCRA states that if a bureau can not verify an item within the stipulated time frame, it must remove that item from the consumer 's credit report. 

The absence of a response to my request implies that the bureaus have failed to verify the accuracy of the disputed items, and as such, they ought to be removed from my credit report immediately. I am kindly asking for your assistance to ensure my rights under the FCRA are upheld and that the credit bureaus adhere to their statutory responsibilities. 

Enclosed, please find copies of the Method of Verification requests, First dispute and Email I received from Experian this morning these were all sent to the bureaus as well as the return receipts for your perusal. 

I look forward to your prompt response and appropriate action. I sincerely appreciate your attention to this matter. 

Best Regards, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
There are hard inquiries showing on my credit report that I did not give the company approval to pull my credit report for, and its greatly effecting my crefit rating. I had or have no knowledge of these hard inquiries, this is not of my doings and I want these hard inquiries removed from my credit report. I tried to do an online dispute for these hard inquiries with experian, but it directed me to call them instead and I did on Monday, XX/XX/2023. Experian started the dispute process and I received an email advising that the next step is to file a fraud identity report with an agency such as yours. I did not request, or give permission for these companies to pull my credit report, and I have no idea who did this, I feel that someone else is trying or have tried to get credit in my name.
