Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my EXTREME FRUSTRATION, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND ANGER regarding the continued reporting of fraudulent accounts on my credit report. Despite repeated requests for removal and clear evidence of identity theft, your bureau has inexplicably ignored these removal requests, allowing these fraudulent entries to persist and tarnish my XXXX The fraudulent accounts on my credit report not only jeopardize my financial standing but also cast doubt on the integrity of your credit reporting processes. XXXX XXXX XXXX FRAUD, PLEASE DELETE!!! XXXX XXXX XXXX FRAUD, PLEASE DELETE!!! XXXX XXXX FRAUD, PLEASE DELETE!!! I have submitted numerous requests to remove these fraudulent accounts, providing documentation and evidence of the identity theft. Yet, these requests seem to have fallen on deaf ears, as the inaccurate and damaging information remains on my credit report. This negligence and disregard for my rights as a consumer are both unacceptable and infuriating.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: Ive contact the law enforcement agency and filed a report and affidavit. They claim the identity theft report is valid. And lastly, I contacted the credit reporting agencies. XXXX have removed the accounts per legal requirement. But for some weird reason Equifax feels Im not following all the steps. XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX PLEASE DELETE!!! XXXX have already removed this account from their records. I know the consumer laws and the courts are very lenient with the banks and credit reporting agencies so filing a lawsuit is a waste of energy. Seeing Ive submitted my claim with XXXX for over 6 months, Im at wits end. This is the 6th complaint Ive filed against them and every time I get the same ridiculous response. They make some absurd claim that the documents Ive submitted are not valid.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: 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. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.
