Despite this, the account remains on my credit report, which is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
The discrepancies and inconsistencies among the credit reporting agencies, as outlined above, demonstrate the account information is not accurate, complete, or verifiable. Specifically : The high balance reported varies among the bureaus. 
The dates of last activity and dates reported do not match. 
The account status, payment status, and creditor remarks are inconsistent. 
The payment history and days late history do not align across the bureaus. 
Given these significant inaccuracies and the unverifiable nature of the account information, I demand the immediate removal of this account from my credit report by EQUIFAX Please confirm in writing that this account has been removed from my credit report within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Failure to do so will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seek legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
