Consumer Complaint: To Whom It May Concern : This letter is a formal statement of concern based on your recent actions. I have in my possession an inaccurate copy of my consumer credit report from the Corporation and your financial agency. This report was lawfully obtained by me, through the declaration of the rights granted to consumers under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The Fair Credit Reporting Act has specific requirement for the accurate reporting of an item when it appears on a consumers credit report. 1. 15 U.S. Code 1681c Requirements relating to information contained in consumer reports. XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy Case Number : XXXX I DEMAND XXXX dollars for each violation as you have caused severe damage to my character. 2. 15 U.S. Code 1635 ( b ) Return of money or property following rescission - Right of rescission as to certain transactions XXXX Account Number : XXXX This is not mine. I am a victim of ID Theft and I have included a police report. Please investigate and remove from my credit report. 3. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) this account in violation not reporting 100 accurate XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please remove it from my credit report. 4. The following personal information is incorrect Account Number : Previous Address ( es ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MD XXXX XX/XX/2018 The Fair Credit Reporting Act specifically details that all items within a consumers credit report must be reported with 100 % accurate information ( not 99.9 % or less ), must be 100 % verifiable ( not 99.9 % or less ), must be 100 % complete information ( not 99.9 % or less ), and must only be reported during the allowable reporting periods as detailed in the Act for the specific item as it appears. Given your previous irrelevant responses and the fact that the above account keeps coming back to me as Verified, you must have proof that it is, in fact, reporting lawfully. So therefore, please provide such proof, as defined by law, in which you must have on file that would assert to the lawful reporting of the above account and that this item does not violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act as detailed above. Please provide proof that the information as contained on the reported trade- line is in fact 100 % Accurate, Complete, Verifiable, AND Timely. Please do not provide some generic print-out or some generic statement as this would insult my intelligence as an educated individual and would further perpetrate the continual acts of wrongdoings by your company as detailed in numerous consumer studies and reports. There is clearly already a problem with the system as it is. In fact, one recent consumer study proved that over 79 % of consumer credit reports contain errors. Another report shows that more than 90 % contain errors. Why does your company continue to operate with such low standards of success? My request as indicated above is lawful and justified. As advised by my counsel, an itemized report detailing that the reporting of this item is not violating my constitutional rights is hereby requested. The continued reporting of this item in its negative state is causing me severe financial and emotional distress. If I must pursue litigation to protect my rights as granted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, Fair Credit Billing Act, RICO, SSCRA, as well as any other statutes and/or laws that would apply to me and my circumstances, then I am fully prepared and willing to take any and all necessary measures to do so. I formally request the immediate deletions of these items, as it is not complying with the above-mentioned laws and/or acts. Your companys continued reporting of this derogatory item will be considered willful noncompliance due to the previous notifications and your continued disregard of the law. A precedent has certainly been set by the flagrant disregard to accuracy as displayed in the consumer study results. So if litigation is necessary a pro-se representation will be prepared, and a formal jury trial will be requested. Please respond in a timely fashion, within 30 days or less, to avoid any unnecessary legal expenses. I have filed an attorney general complaint reporting your ignorance in processing this request and greeting your mistakes CORRECTED. **ATTACHED HEREWITH A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE LETTER SENT TO ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX Assistant Director of Enforcement Consumer Financial Protection Bureau1700 G.

Consumer Complaint: To Experian This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. I demand to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with my signature on it ) that you have on file for the account listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the account listed below. I demand that the following account be validated or removed immediately : 1. You are in VIOLATION of the 15 U.S. Code 1692f- Unfair practices XXXX Account Number : XXXX This is not mine. I am a victim of ID Theft and I have included a police report. Please investigate and remove from my credit report. 2. You are in VIOLATION of the 15 USC 1666B. This is a billing error always paid as agreed on time this is an error this account in violation. XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please UPDATE this late payment in the Credit Report or I will seek LEGAL OPTIONS against your AGENCY in favor of my FCRA. I respectfully request to be provided proof of this alleged item, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature. Failing that, the item must be deleted from the report as soon as possible. This information is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and as such represents a very serious error in your reporting. Please delete this misleading information and supply a corrected credit profile to all creditors who have received a copy within the last XXXX months, or the last XXXX years for employment purposes. Additionally, please provide the name, address, and telephone number of each credit grantor or other subscriber. Under federal law, you have XXXX ( XXXX ) days to complete your investigation. Be advised that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is hereby requested as well, to be provided within fifteen ( XXXX ) days of the completion of your investigation. In addition, please remove all non-account holding inquiries over 30 days old. Also, please add a promotional suppression to my credit file. Under federal law, you have XXXX ( XXXX ) days to complete your re-investigation. Be advised that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is hereby requested as well, to be provided within fifteen ( XXXX ) days of the completion of your re-investigation. Thank you for your time and help in this matter. Sincerely yours, XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: The account in question has been inaccurately marked with late payment dates, and it is essential that this misinformation is promptly removed from my credit report. Other reputable credit reporting agencies have been able to promptly update their reports based on the accurate information provided, leaving me bewildered as to why your bureau remains obstinate in perpetuating this error. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX PLEASE UPDATE!!! I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. I insist that you take immediate action to remove the inaccurate reporting of late payments and update the account information to reflect the accurate details. This is not only my right as a consumer but also a fundamental obligation on the part of your bureau to ensure fair and accurate credit reporting.
