Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and frustration with the multiple unsuccessful attempts to address and remove fraudulent items from my account with Credit Bureaus. My intention is to bring to your attention the gravity of the situation and request immediate action to rectify this matter. I first identified unauthorized and fraudulent transactions on my account. Since then, I have diligently reported these incidents through your designated channels and followed the prescribed procedures for resolution. Unfortunately, despite my repeated efforts, the fraudulent items have not been adequately addressed, and they continue to persist. I have made multiple attempts to resolve this matter through your customer support hotline and online support portal. Each time, I have patiently provided the necessary information, documentation, and details regarding the fraudulent transactions. Regrettably, I have yet to witness any significant progress in resolving this issue, and the fraudulent items remain on my account. This situation has not only caused me significant financial distress but has also eroded my confidence in the security measures and customer support services provided by I kindly request an immediate and thorough investigation into this matter. I urge you to expedite the removal of the fraudulent items from my account, reimburse any unauthorized charges, and implement additional measures to prevent such incidents in the future. Furthermore, I would appreciate regular updates on the progress of the investigation and resolution. If this matter is not addressed promptly and satisfactorily, I may have no choice but to explore alternative courses of action, including filing a complaint with relevant consumer protection agencies and seeking legal advice. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : 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 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 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 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal to comply with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, provide proof, and documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they fail to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the items which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely.
