This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B.

Date : XX/XX/year> To : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Subject : Response to XXXX XXXX 's Claims Regarding Complaint Dear CFPB, I am writing in response to XXXX XXXX 's recent communication concerning my complaint about their unfair and illegal credit reporting practices. 

XXXX XXXX claims that I submitted my initial dispute on or about the same day I filed my complaint with the CFPB and that prior to this, there was no record of me requesting validation of the debt. They also mention that this complaint represents their first record that my address differs from the address used at the time of placement. 

I would like to clarify and dispute these claims with the following facts : Multiple False Reports : On XX/XX/year>, and then again on XX/XX/year>, XXXX XXXX reported false information on my TransUnion credit report. Initially, they reported that I owed {$110.00}. Subsequently, they changed the amount to {$110.00}. The statement they recently provided indicates a different amount of {$110.00}. This inconsistency clearly demonstrates a lack of accuracy and reliability in their reporting. 

Lack of Validation and Signature : I have repeatedly requested validation of the debt from XXXX XXXX, including a request for my signature to verify any obligation. They have failed to provide this validation. The absence of my signature further supports my position that I do not owe this debt. 

Given these points, it is evident that XXXX XXXX has been inconsistent in their reporting and has failed to adhere to the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Their inability to provide proper validation and their contradictory reporting amounts have caused undue harm to my credit score and personal stress. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take appropriate action to address these violations and ensure that XXXX XXXX corrects their records. I also request the immediate removal of all erroneous entries related to this debt from my credit report. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will be compelled to pursue legal action to protect my rights. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system.

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.
