Complaint:
Date : XX/XX/XXXX Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX SSN : XXXX Contact Number : ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , IL XXXX ( or ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , PA XXXX Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , GA XXXX Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX Company/ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX , MA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MA XXXX File Number : XXXX Pin Number : XXXX Dear XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , I am writing to dispute the inaccuracy of the information contained in my credit report regarding the original creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX/ XXXX XXXX XXXX, with file number XXXX and an alleged amount owed balance of {$260.00}. I want to inform you that I have never conducted any business with XXXX XXXX XXXX, and receiving this information in the mail is extremely concerning. 

According to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to an accurate credit report. The FCRA promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. It is important to note that this account is only reported on Equifax and not on XXXX or XXXX, which raises a significant discrepancy between the credit bureaus. This inaccurate reporting is adversely impacting my reputation, character, and ability to qualify for new credit. As a consumer, I am entitled to accurate and fair reporting of my credit history, and this discrepancy is creating an unfair and inaccurate representation of my creditworthiness. 

The Notice to Furnishers issued by the Federal Trade Commission specifies your responsibilities when you receive notice from a CRA, under section 605B of the FCRA, that the information provided to the CRA may be the result of identity theft. It is your responsibility to cease providing inaccurate information to any CRAs and to ensure that you do not attempt to sell or transfer the fraudulent debts to another party for collection. 

I have attached documentation below that clearly shows my insurance provider during the period of XX/XX/XXXX. It is perplexing why there would be two car insurance policies associated with my name. Furthermore, I believe that the furnisher of this information, XXXX XXXX XXXX/ XXXX XXXX XXXX , as well as XXXX XXXX the credit bureau XXXX are unreliable sources. Their inconsistent reporting raises serious questions about their accuracy and reliability. Therefore, I formally request a thorough reinvestigation of this matter. I kindly request the removal of this collection account from my credit report due to the inaccurate and unreliable reporting. Please provide me with a written confirmation of the deletion and an updated copy of my credit report. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
