I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

I was looking over my credit report for each credit bureau and found some names addresses, employer information that are incorrect. To make the process of deletion easier I will provide the information in which each bureau has listed of incorrect addresses, names, and employer on my credit report. 

There should be only one name, one address listed on my credit report. I also noticed my name appears to be misspelled on my credit report. My name only has one correct spelling and there should be no variations listed because my name has no variations.

Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the handling of my credit report by XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX. Despite multiple attempts to resolve inaccuracies on my credit report, the reporting agency has failed to address my concerns adequately, which is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681i.

Violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i : My letters, which were written using accessible software available to everyone, have been disregarded. If the agency chooses not to process or address these letters, they are violating the law. The assumption that assistance from a third party may be available does not justify delaying the processing of consumer letters. No Power of Attorney is required to address my concerns.

Failure to Dispute Inaccurate Information : According to FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) and the accepted STANDARD of Metro 2 data field reporting, I have the right to dispute any incorrect information on my credit report. The allegations of delinquency and derogatory information against me are entirely false. These claims fail to comply with basic reporting standards and do not meet federal or state requirements for reporting.

Request for Permissible Purpose Evidence : I demand proof of a permissible purpose for the inquiry or account within my report. The lack of such proof indicates that the agency has not fulfilled its responsibilities adequately. 

Impact of XXXX XXXX XXXX : My information was impacted by the XXXX data breach, leading to multiple fraudulent items appearing on my credit report. I did not authorize the sharing of my non-public information, and the reporting of this information is not fair and equitable as per 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602A.

Specific Violations Include : 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602A : Right to privacy.

15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604A Section 2 : Consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without written instructions.

15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) : Prohibition of adverse items of information older than seven years.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) : Prohibition of furnishing inaccurate information knowingly or with reasonable cause to believe the information is inaccurate.

I am granting a 30-day period from the date of delivery of this letter to rectify the situation. I request tangible evidence of the actions taken and an updated copy of my credit report. If the allegations are indeed false, I expect them to be promptly removed from my credit report. 

Please see the attached letter for the details of my dispute. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
