Consumer Complaint: It is disheartening that the Credit Bureaus, namely XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX, have failed to remove the persisting fraudulent items from my credit reports over the past three months. The absence of any deletions during this period is particularly concerning as I anticipate another update to my credit report within the next 15 days. Regrettably, there is a sense of apprehension that I might encounter yet another instance of failure to delete these items from my file. I would like to reiterate that, in accordance with FCRA Section 605B ( a ), Credit Reporting Agencies are obligated to remove any items in the file of a consumer identified as information resulting from an alleged identity theft within four business days of receipt. Additionally, as per Section 605b, Credit Reporting Agencies are required to expeditiously remove any items listed on an identity theft report, specifically under reference # XXXX, pertaining to my case. The items outlined in my earlier complaint dated XX/XX/XXXX have been reiterated here per bureau, as this complaint serves as a follow-up : XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX ======EQUIFAX : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: To Whom It May Concern, Your recent business practices have been distasteful, reckless and irresponsible. The dereliction of your lawful duties to protect my consumer credit report from inaccurate information represents either the willingness to participate in fraudulent activity or malicious incompetence by your companys staffed employees. My disputes have not been taken seriously. This letter is a formal complaint addressing the reporting of inaccurate and incomplete credit information within my credit profile. I am deeply concerned that inaccurate information has been included in my credit report, and its distressing that theres been a failure to uphold reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports published. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), theres a federal obligation to verify the authenticity of any and all accounts posted on a credit report by physically verifying the original signed consumer contract. Failure to do so opens the possibility of fraudulent accounts being included through fax, mail, or email submissions. I demand verifiable proof, such as an original consumer contract bearing my signature, for the accounts listed below. Failure to provide this proof signifies a violation of the FCRA : The following accounts are not associated with me and indicate potential identity theft or fraudulent reporting : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Hard Inquiry from : XXXX XX/XX/2022 I demand immediate removal of these accounts from my credit report. I am also invoking FCRA Section 605B, which specifically addresses identity theft and the obligation of credit reporting agencies to block fraudulent information resulting from identity theft. Given the inclusion of current and previous accounts that do not belong to me, I urge an immediate investigation into potential identity theft concerns and request that these fraudulent entries be blocked from my report. Moreover, I respectfully request proof of these alleged items, specifically the contract, note, or any instrument bearing my personal signature. Failing that, these items must be promptly deleted from the report. The inclusion of such entirely inaccurate and incomplete information represents a serious error in your reporting. Under federal law, you have thirty ( 30 ) days to complete your investigation. I also request that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information be provided within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the investigations completion. Furthermore, I demand the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of each credit grantor or other subscriber to my credit report. Your immediate attention to this matter is imperative to rectify the potentially fraudulent entries affecting my credit report.
