This ongoing failure to correct the false information is severely impacting my credit score and financial well-being. I am requesting your immediate intervention to ensure my rights are upheld under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

1. Incorrect Personal Information My credit report contains multiple incorrect entries of my name and former addresses, which I have never resided at : Incorrect name variations such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Incorrect addresses including XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I have provided evidence that these addresses and name variations do not pertain to me, and they must be removed immediately. 

2. Unauthorized Inquiries There are several unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report, including : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I did not authorize these inquiries, and they are in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which states that a consumer report can not be obtained without written consent. These inquiries must be removed from my report as they were conducted without my permission, and they continue to harm my credit score.
