Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request your assistance regarding serious discrepancies found in my credit report. After obtaining a copy of my credit report, I discovered numerous unauthorized inquiries, as well as variations of my name and outdated addresses associated with my report. 

Despite my efforts to resolve these issues by sending multiple letters to the credit reporting agencies, I have yet to receive a satisfactory response or resolution. These inaccuracies not only affect my creditworthiness but also represent a significant source of stress and concern.

Specifically, I would like to outline the issues I am experiencing : 1. Numerous unauthorized inquiries that I did not authorize.

2. Variations of my name that do not accurately reflect my legal name.

3. Outdated addresses that should no longer be associated with my credit report.

I believe that these errors may be contributing to a negative impact on my credit score and overall financial history. I kindly request your support in facilitating the correction of these inaccuracies and in assisting me with the removal of the unauthorized inquiries.

Enclosed are copies of the relevant documentation I have previously sent to the credit reporting agencies, as well as copies of my credit report highlighting the discrepancies.

I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the inaccuracies and violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ) and the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 15 USC 6801 ) in my credit report issued by your agency.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, consumer reports are supposed to exclude information solely related to transactions or experiences, as specified in 15 USC 1681 ( i ) and 15 USC 1681 ( A ) Sec 2 ( i ). However, upon reviewing my credit report, I have discovered numerous inaccuracies that do not align with this requirement, violating my rights as a consumer.

Moreover, the inclusion of such inaccurate information also contravenes the Privacy Act of 1974, particularly 15 USC 6801, which emphasizes the obligation of financial institutions to protect the security and confidentiality of customers ' nonpublic personal information. I have disputed these inaccuracies in my report multiple times, and yet they have irresponsibly been verified without any transparent procedure outlined to prove their validity.

These violations raise serious concerns about the integrity of the information in my credit report and undermine my ability to access credit and financial services based on accurate and reliable data. Should these issues persist, I may pursue legal action under the provisions of 15 USC 1681n for willful noncompliance with the law.

I demand that your agency promptly correct the inaccuracies in my credit report, provide a transparent explanation of the verification process used, and ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 6802, 15 U.S. Code 6803, 15 U.S. Code 1681b, 15 U.S. Code 1681e, 15 U.S. Code 1681f, 15 U.S. Code 1681g, and 15 U.S. Code 1681i.

Under 15 USC 1666b, consumers like myself are afforded certain protection with regards to billing errors, including late payment reporting. Specifically, this statute requires that : 1. Creditors should promptly post payments made by consumers to their respective accounts as of the day they are received or on the following business day if received on a non-business day.

2. Creditors must also credit payments to the consumer 's account in a manner that allows the consumer to avoid additional interest, fees, or penalties. 

Based on the aforementioned provision, it is evident that XXXX XXXX has failed to comply with the requirements set forth in 15 USC 1666b. The late payments reported on my credit history are discrepant with the payment dates as per my records. Given this circumstance, I kindly request that these late payment entries be rectified effectively and promptly.

Enclosed with this letter, please find supporting documentation that substantiates the timely payments I made on my account. These documents include [ list supporting documentation such as bank statements, payment receipts, or transaction records ], which clearly demonstrate that the reported late payments are inaccurate.

I kindly ask that you review this matter promptly and conduct an investigation into the mentioned discrepancies. As per 15 USC 1666b, I request that you provide me with a written explanation of the findings of your investigation, along with any corrections to my credit history that may be necessary, within thirty ( 30 ) days from the date of this letter. 

In addition, I would like to remind XXXX XXXX of its obligation, as a creditor, to accurately report information to the credit reporting agencies. This includes ensuring that inaccurate or disputed information is not included in any reports generated or shared with these agencies. 

Failure to correct the inaccuracies within the prescribed timeframe and without due diligence may result in my initiation of legal action to protect my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Billing Act and 15 USC 1666b.
