Consumer Narrative
On XXXX XXXX I sent a letter to all 3 credit bureaus in regards to collections that are reporting fraudulently. The collections were removed from XXXX but still are showing up on Equifax and XXXX. I am a victim of identity fraud and I have sent My FTC and all other proper documentation that verifies that as well. You will see all documents attached that supports my complaint. I also sent a letter in regards to late payments that are reporting on a XXXX XXXX open account and a XXXX XXXX account that is currently closed both were reported late due to hardships during the XXXX COVID-19 PANDEMIC. I AM REQUESTING BOTH LATE PAYMENTS REMOVED AS A ONE TIME COURTESY BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT MY ACCOUNTS I AM NEVER LATE. 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 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 ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed below. I demand the following accounts be verified or removed immediately.
