Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am verifying that I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am mailing out this information. In doing so, this plus my SSN and I.D is enough proof of validation. I have noticed inaccuracies on my consumer report. It is extremely urgent that you remove any addresses that are not the one listed below. According to 15 USC 1681e Compliance and Procedures section ( b ) Accuracy of report : 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. I have already sent mail out and it has been over 30 DAYS before I received a response which now means the credit reporting agency is now in VIOLATION of my consumer financial rights! Second, the F.C.R.A states, Section 607. Compliance and Procedures [ 15 U.S.C 1681e ] ( b ) Accuracy of report, the CRA must provide me with a copy of my consumer report at 100 % accuracy at all times! These addresses and old personal information do not belong to me and are inaccurate therefore violating my consumer rights. Lastly, F.C.R.A says, Section 609. Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] Every consumer reporting agency shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. These errors must be fixed at once. Once done send me report of everything removed

I am writing to express my deep frustration and dissatisfaction with the numerous attempts I have made to remove fraudulent items from my credit report through Credit Bureaus. Despite my persistent efforts, the fraudulent entries persist, causing significant distress and adversely impacting my financial standing. The continued presence of fraudulent items on my credit report is not only inaccurate but also poses a severe threat to my financial well-being. I have attached supporting documentation for each attempt made to rectify this situation, emphasizing the urgency and gravity of the matter. I request your immediate attention to the following actions : Conduct a thorough and expedited review of my credit report to identify and remove all fraudulent entries. Provide written confirmation once the fraudulent items have been successfully removed. Investigate the source of these fraudulent entries to prevent similar incidents in the future. I understand the importance of maintaining accurate credit information, and these inaccuracies are adversely affecting my ability to access financial services and secure favorable credit terms. Therefore, I expect a swift and diligent investigation into this matter. Failure to address this issue promptly may compel me to escalate the matter to relevant regulatory authorities and consumer protection agencies.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ). According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion. Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors. In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. Based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.
