Under the FCRA, it is the duty of credit reporting agencies to ensure that the information they report is accurate and complete. The inconsistencies listed above render the information inaccurate and incomplete, and as such, it must be promptly deleted from my credit report. 

These discrepancies are violations of the FCRA. Each instance of inaccurate, incomplete, or inconsistent reporting is a violation of my rights under 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ). As such, I am requesting compensation for each violation, as outlined by the FCRA, in the amount of {$1000.00} per violation. 

I request that your bureau reinvestigate these discrepancies, delete any inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information from my credit report, and compensate me accordingly. Please notify me in writing once the corrections have been made and compensation has been issued. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
