To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against the three major credit reporting agencies : XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. These agencies have failed to correct inaccurate information on my credit reports, despite being notified multiple times of these discrepancies. This complaint is specifically related to information provided by XXXX, which includes significant inaccuracies and incorrect personal information.
