A few weeks ago, I submitted dispute letters directly to all three credit bureaus regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. These inaccuracies are clear violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and the bureaus are legally obligated to investigate and correct them. I have received responses suggesting I am using a third-party service, which is false. I am the sole author and sender of these disputes, and I have not enlisted the help of any credit repair company or outside entity.

On XX/XX/year>, I entered into a written agreement with the creditor to pay {$28.00} per month, and these payments have been drafted automatically from my bank account each month as agreed. Despite this, the creditor continues to report the account as past due to the credit bureaus.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to report unfair, deceitful, and abusive credit and collection practices by Wells Fargo. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid in full the settlement offer extended by Wells Fargo. Despite this, Wells Fargo continues to report the account as charge-off/paid less than full balance. and previously in dispute This practice is misleading, punitive, and deliberately harmful, even after I fulfilled my obligations under the settlement. 

Violations of Federal Law 1. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 Furnishers are prohibited from reporting information that is inaccurate or misleading. Continued use of a charge-off designation after full settlement misrepresents the true status of the account. Courts have repeatedly held that information may be technically accurate but still actionable if it creates a materially misleading impression ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) ). 
2. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692e Wells Fargos actions constitute a deceptive practice by misrepresenting the legal status of a debt in order to inflict reputational damage. Similar conduct has been found unlawful where creditors or collectors sought to coerce consumers after settlement ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX  ) ). 
3. Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5531 ( UDAAP ) Wells Fargos actions amount to unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts and practices. Consumers suffer ongoing harm from derogatory reporting that serves no legitimate business purpose once the debt is resolved. The CFPB has previously taken enforcement actions against major banks ( e.g., CFPB v. Wells Fargo, XXXX, resulting in {$180.00} XXXX in fines for systemic abusive practices ; XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX, {$130.00} XXXX for deceptive debt-collection and credit reporting ) where similar conduct was deemed unlawful. 

This practice reflects a systemic abuse of credit reporting, weaponizing technical accuracy to mislead consumers. Wells Fargo is knowingly creating the impression of an unpaid or unresolved debt to damage credit standing long after a settlement was reached. This is retaliatory, deceitful, and mirrors prior conduct for which large financial institutions have already been sanctioned.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 


I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
