Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration with the persistent presence of fraudulent items on my credit report, despite numerous attempts on my part to rectify this situation. I have engaged in a series of disputes, provided extensive supporting documentation, and followed the established dispute resolution process, yet the fraudulent items continue to adversely impact my credit history. I initially reported the fraudulent activities and have since submitted multiple disputes, accompanied by comprehensive documentation and evidence substantiating my claims. Despite these efforts, the fraudulent items persist on my credit report, causing significant financial distress and impeding my ability to access credit on fair terms. Enclosed with this letter, you will find copies of all my previous dispute letters, supporting documentation, and relevant correspondence submitted during my repeated attempts to address this matter. The ongoing presence of these fraudulent items is not only detrimental to my financial well-being but also constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I understand the importance of a thorough investigation, but the prolonged resolution of this matter is causing undue hardship. I urge you to expedite the review process, conduct a comprehensive investigation, and take immediate action to remove the fraudulent items from my credit report. I kindly request that you provide regular updates on the progress of the investigation and a clear timeline for the resolution of this issue. 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
