This is a FCRA violation and I will seek a consumer attorney to file action against them if it is not deleted right away.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: I took a look at my credit reports and I noticed that there were some unauthorized inquiries. I have sent a FTC report and I haven't gotten a response nor a deletion of these inquiries. I then submitted another FTC report to remove these inquiries as it is identity theft. Pursuant to 18 U.S. Code this is Aggravated Identity Theft because these agencies have been made aware of the situation and they did not take action in correcting this issue.

Consumer Complaint: To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised this is my SECOND WRITTEN REQUEST. The unverifiable and incomplete items listed below remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. Please be advised that your company continues to report these unverifiable and incomplete items. These accounts can be considered falsified revenue and illegal by the IRS due to the fact these said accounts have been written off as a tax deduction. How can a payment be collected on an unverifiable and incomplete account, that has already been recorded as a tax deduction. These actions could have severe penalties for falsifying revenue reported to the IRS in accordance with the General Accounting Principles ( GAP Standards ). Please remove these unverified and incomplete items listed below : XXXX there is some inaccurate information reporting. XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please remove it from my credit report. 2. 15 U.S. CODE 1692G - VALIDATION OF DEBTS XXXXXXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Delete this account.

Consumer Complaint: It has been drawn out into the open that you are not hindering records when I sent a copy of the FTC report. Since it is a necessity by regulation 605b of the FCRA I'm sending this Complaint to assist with laying out a lawful response. In the event that you decide to not obstruct the accompanying things recorded beneath which are answering erroneously because of fraud, I will hand my archives over to my lawyer to begin a legitimate activity.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: This is my numerous attempt to inform you that I am an identity theft victim and that certain data in my file appear to be the result of improper activity. The documents I'm looking at have nothing to do with transactions that result in the acquisition of any property, money, or products that I have either made or approved. Block the entry of any information in my credit record that resulted from a claimed scam or extortion, assuming no one will care in any case.
