I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy an d privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this
issue.

To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the company in question to view my credit report. The listed inquiry was without authorization, and for no legitimate business purposes.

I am requesting your credit bureau to initiate an investigation and to determine responsible parties in this unauthorized credit inquiry. As part of your investigation, please send the names, business addresses, and phone numbers of those who made unauthorized credit inquiries so I may contact them directly. In addition, I respectfully request a copy of any documents authorizing credit inquiry, and signed on my behalf, so that I may verify its validity. If you find that I was not the one who authorized this inquiry, I ask that it be removed immediately from my credit file. Please be so kind as to forward me documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiry removed. If you find that I am in error, then please send me proof of this. Finally, I am requesting an updated copy of my credit report, which should be sent to the address listed above.

I am submitting this complaint against XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ( accounts opened XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX ) for their improper reporting of a balance on a charged-off account, which is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Under FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ), furnishers of credit information, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX, are required to provide accurate information when reporting to credit bureaus. A charged-off account, by definition, should not report an outstanding balance as the debt is considered uncollectible and written off by the creditor. However, despite the account being charged off, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX continues to report a balance on my credit report, which is inaccurate and misleading. 

This inaccurate reporting is negatively impacting my credit profile and violates FCRA provisions that ensure consumers are not subjected to false or misleading credit information. 

I request that XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX immediately cease reporting an outstanding balance on this charged-off account and correct the information across all credit bureaus. If the information can not be verified or corrected, I demand that the account be deleted from my credit report in compliance with FCRA guidelines. 

I am asking the CFPB to intervene and hold XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  accountable for this violation and ensure they correct the issue promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
