The account in question is " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' with the account number XXXX. My report incorrectly lists this account as closed, whereas it should be reported as open. 

To support my claim, I have attached a screenshot from my XXXX report dated XX/XX/XXXX, which accurately reflects the account status as open. Here are the correct details : - **Account Type** : Open Account - **Balance** : {$0.00} - **Date Opened** : XX/XX/XXXX - **Status** : Open - **Age of Account** : 8 years and 3 months I have also confirmed with the data furnisher that the account is open, and XXXX is reporting it correctly. Therefore, I request that Credit Karma updates my credit report to accurately reflect the status of this account as open. 

This discrepancy may adversely affect my credit score and overall financial standing. Prompt correction of this error is essential. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Please confirm the receipt of this letter and notify me once the correction has been made.

Despite my efforts to resolve this issue with Credit Karma, they have indicated that the information they report is sourced from XXXX. 

The specific account in question is " XXXX XXXX XXXX  '' with the account number XXXX. Credit Karma inaccurately lists this account as closed, whereas XXXX correctly reports it as open. This discrepancy has resulted in a significant decrease in my credit score by at least XXXX points, impacting my overall financial standing. 

To support my claim, I have included screenshots from Credit Karmas application and XXXX 's credit report dated XX/XX/XXXX : - **Credit Karma** : Reports my credit age as 7 months. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Reports my credit age as 4 years and 4 months, which is correct. 
XXXX XXXX  XXXX Reports the " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' account as open with a credit line age of 8 years and 4 months. 
- **Credit Karma** : Reports the same account as closed, which is inaccurate and damaging. 

This situation raises serious concerns about the accuracy of information being reported to Credit Karma and subsequently to the public. It also calls into question the adherence to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) policies and guidelines designed to protect consumers from such inaccuracies. 

I kindly request that XXXX : XXXX. **Investigate and Correct the Reporting Error : ** Immediately correct the status of the " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' account on my credit report to accurately reflect it as open. 

2. **Provide an Explanation : ** Explain the process by which Credit Karma obtains information from XXXX and how such discrepancies can occur despite the FCRA guidelines in place.
