Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am writing to dispute the inaccurate and incomplete information that has been reported by the following creditors on my credit report : [ insert names of creditors and account numbers ]. I believe that these creditors have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by reporting incorrect information, specifically in regards to my name and address. 

My correct name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, but the credit bureaus have reported it as XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. This inaccurate information has caused me significant distress and inconvenience, as it has resulted in me being denied credit and facing higher interest rates than I should have qualified for. This has also caused confusion in my personal and professional life, as it has led to errors in important documents and correspondence. 

In addition, my current address XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, but the credit bureaus have reported several other addresses that are not associated with me, including XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This has also caused confusion and inconvenience, as it has resulted in important mail and documents being sent to the wrong address and causing delays in receiving them. 

These violations of the FCRA have had a significant impact on my life, causing me emotional distress, financial hardship, and even affecting my personal and professional relationships. Therefore, I am requesting that you take appropriate action to enforce the legal requirements under the FCRA, specifically sections XXXX and XXXX, and require these creditors to remove the inaccurate and unverified accounts from my credit report. 

According to my report, there are several accounts that have been inaccurately reported by TransUnion, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

Specifically, XXXX XXXX XXXX TransUnion has reported XXXX Last Verified XXXX XXXX XXXX but XXXX and XXXX have not XXXX anything. Additionally, TransUnion has reported a Date of Last Activity of XX/XX/XXXX, but XXXX has reported XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX has reported XX/XX/XXXX. Furthermore, TransUnion has reported a Date Reported date of XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX has reported XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX has reported XX/XX/XXXX. 

It is important to note that XXXX and XXXX reported a Date Opened date of XX/XX/XXXX, while TransUnion reported XX/XX/XXXX. Additionally, XXXX XXXX bureaus have reported that I was XXXX days late on XX/XX/XXXX, despite the fact that I did not miss any payment on this account. 

These inaccuracies have had a severe impact on my life. Due to these incorrect reports, I have been denied credit, housing, and even employment opportunities. I have had to endure high interest rates and have been forced to pay unnecessary fees, all because of these inaccurate reports. 

I believe that these reports are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX have violated FCRA XXXX XXXX, which requires them to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of the information in my credit report. They have also violated FCRA XXXX XXXX, which outlines the procedures for disputing inaccurate information on my credit report. 

Furthermore, TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX have violated FCRA Section 1681s-2, which outlines the duties of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. Specifically, they have violated Subsection ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which requires them to provide accurate information to the credit reporting agencies. 

The following creditors and account numbers have reported inaccurate information : XXXX XXXX XXXX According to TransUnion, the XXXX verified date is XX/XX/XXXX, but XXXX and XXXX XXXX not report anything. Additionally, TransUnion is reporting the date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX, but XXXX reported it as XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX as XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  bureaus are reporting that I was XXXX  days late on XX/XX/XXXX, but I did not miss any payments on this account. According to TransUnion, the last payment date is XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX reported it as XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX reported it as XX/XX/XXXX.

I have been denied credit, employment, and housing opportunities due to this erroneous information. I have experienced emotional distress and financial hardship as a result of the negative impact on my credit score. 

Regarding my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ), both TransUnion and XXXX have reported the payment status as " charge off. '' However, I have never received any notification or paperwork from them regarding this charge-off account. Furthermore, the reported dates of last activity and date opened by TransUnion and XXXX do not match up. These inaccuracies are in violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 1681e - Compliance Procedures : Subsection ( b ) - Accuracy of report and FCRA Section 1681s-2 - Duties of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies : Subsection ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - Duty to provide accurate information. 

These errors have caused significant harm to me, as they have negatively impacted my credit score and limited my access to credit. I have been denied loans, credit cards, and even rental applications due to these inaccuracies. It has been an emotional burden, as it has affected my ability to provide for myself and my family. 

Therefore, I am requesting that the creditors and their corresponding consumer reporting agencies remove these unverified accounts from my credit report. I also ask that the CFPB enforce the legal violations outlined above and hold these creditors and consumer reporting agencies accountable for their actions. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
