Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Fl XXXX XXXX Dear CFBP & EQUIFAX, It has been over 90 days since I made my initial dispute against the fraudulent Late Payment notations on a few accounts on my XXXX credit report that are incomplete and inaccurate which are a violation 15 USC 1681e ( b ). You also violated 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) & ( b ). 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ) & ( ii ) Any person who fails to fix this matter will be held liable under 15 USC 1681n which is civil liability for willful noncompliance. Accounts list XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX ( Fraudulent inaccurate unverified late payments ), delete late payments or entire account expeditiously because it directly violates 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) & ( b ), 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ) & ( ii ), and 15 USC 1681e ( b ) XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXX Account # XXXX ( Fraudulent inaccurate unverified late payments ), delete these fraudulent late payments from account or delete account expeditiously because it directly violates 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) & ( b ), 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ) & ( ii ), and 15 USC 1681e ( b ) Furthermore, I want to formally report that my identity was compromised because of the well-documented Equifax data breach. Attached are my credit report and the necessary documentation from Equifax confirming the theft of my personal information and their subsequent action to remove all fraudulent and inaccurate accounts from my credit report. I respectfully request that similar measures be taken by XXXX and XXXX to ensure the accuracy and integrity of my credit information. This request is in alignment with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly Section 609 ( e ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies must take swift action to rectify inaccurate or fraudulent information resulting from identity theft. Furthermore, the precedent set in the case of [ relevant case law ], supports the immediate rectification of such errors to uphold consumer rights under federal law. '' Once you have deleted the accounts from my credit report, please send me a copy of my updated report. Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. Per XXXX XXXX XXXX Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. According to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. XXXX - XXXX reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to XXXX, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the XXXX XXXX compliance standards. Also as stated in the XXXX Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required XXXX XXXX XXXX compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the multiple unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my account with Cewdit Bureaus. Despite my consistent efforts to report and rectify these unauthorized transactions, the issue persists, causing significant distress and inconvenience. I discovered unauthorized transactions on my account, indicating fraudulent activity. Immediately, I contacted your customer service department to report the issue and initiated the necessary procedures to resolve the matter. Since then, I have made numerous calls, submitted written requests, and provided all the required documentation to support the investigation and removal of the fraudulent items. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, the unauthorized transactions continue to impact my account. I have attached a detailed timeline of my interactions with your institution, including reference numbers and specifics of each attempt made to address this matter. I request that you thoroughly review this information and take immediate action to rectify the situation. The lack of resolution in this matter is causing financial strain and emotional distress. As a victim of fraud, I expected a more expedited and efficient response from your institution to safeguard my account and address the unauthorized transactions promptly. I urge you to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter, remove the fraudulent items from my account, and take necessary measures to prevent any further unauthorized activity. Additionally, I request clear communication on the progress of the investigation and the steps being taken to resolve this issue. If my concerns are not addressed within the exact timeframe from the date of this letter, I will be compelled to escalate this matter to regulatory authorities and consider legal action to protect my rights as a customer. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2200.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance {$1300.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX Balance {$240.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Balance : {$680.00} 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
