After recently reviewing my credit report from your company, I noticed several inaccuracies that need to be addressed. The accounts in question are listed below:Company Name: OPORTUNPROG Account #: *******Balance: $0.00 Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681g), I am formally requesting copies of all documents in your records that were used to verify the accuracy of these accounts. Please provide these documents in your response to this letter.I respectfully ask that you do not reply with a generic statement claiming the accounts have been verified. Instead, I expect to receive the actual records supporting this verification. If no such documentation exists, these disputed accounts should be removed from my credit report immediately, as required under Section 611(a)(5)(A)(i) of the FCRA.Including unverified or inaccurate information on my credit reportand continuing to share it with third partiesunfairly damages both my credit standing and my reputation. I ask that you take this matter seriously and resolve it as soon as possible.Business Response

I am filing this complaint because my credit report includes accounts that I do not recognize, and I have strong reason to believe they may be linked to a data breach. This has been extremely concerning for me, as these unverified accounts could be negatively affecting my credit standing and overall financial well-being.Despite my efforts to get clarity, I have not been provided with sufficient proof that these accounts are legitimate. I have the right to proper documentation verifying their validity, yet all I have received are vague responses. This is unacceptable.The accounts in question are:OPORTUNPROG - ***** (Account Number: *******) - Balance: ******************************* ***** ***** (Account Number: *******) - Balance: *********************************** ***** ***** (Account Number: *******) - Balance: $1,333.00 Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681g), I am entitled to receive copies of any documents used to verify these accountssuch as signed agreements or account applications. A simple claim that they have been verified is not enough. If no such documentation exists, these accounts must be removed immediately under Section 611(a)(5)(A)(i) of the ****, which requires the deletion of unverifiable information from consumer credit reports.This situation has caused me unnecessary stress and could have long-term financial consequences. I expect a thorough review of my complaint and a prompt resolution. I need clear, documented proof of verification or the immediate removal of these accounts.Business Response

The presence of these unverified accounts has caused me significant concern, as they could be negatively impacting my credit standing and overall financial well-being.Despite my efforts to obtain clarity and verification, I have not received sufficient proof that these accounts are legitimate. This lack of transparency is alarming, and I believe it is my right as a consumer to demand proper documentation that justifies their inclusion on my credit report.The accounts in question are as follows:Name of Unverified Item: OPORTUN/PROGRESO ***** Account Number: ******* Reporting Balance: $0.00 ?As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681g), I am formally requesting copies of any documents used to verify these accounts.
