After speaking to CFPB, I am asking for resolution on the following issues : 1. Why do you have the same information as XXXX, never late and balance on credit is very close to matching, yet your score for me is XXXX vs XXXX with XXXX. I want all three bureaus to be on the same page and I should not be penalized by one when info is the same. 
2. It says that not having a mortgage, or more than the revolving accounts I have, is hurting my credit. So, because I pay cash for my car, I rent my house and I do not want 20 credit cards, you are punishing me with a lower score. I have no late pays on any account ever, I have XXXX open credit cards that I pay down often but never max out and I have other credit cards that because balance was XXXX, they closed them. I should not be penalized for not wanting to get more or pay interest on a mortgage when I can afford not to. 
XXXX. Overall, you could not tell me why my credit score is XXXX given excellent payment history with XXXX lates, I manage my credit cards making large payments often and I do have revolving accounts both open and closed, only because they close them when paid off. You are penalizing me for no reason, you do not match XXXX in score with the same data, that is crazy and should be looked at. This is impacting my life negatively and that is not accurate or fair. 

My score should be very high based on actual credit history, all three bureaus should be nearly the same score when info is the same.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the presence of old addresses on my credit report. I have recently obtained a copy of my credit report and have noticed that several outdated addresses are listed.

I understand that the presence of outdated addresses on my credit report is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and could result in inaccurate reporting. I request that you investigate this matter and remove all outdated addresses from my credit report. 

Please provide me with written confirmation of the removal of these outdated addresses from my credit report. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to hearing from you soon.
