XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, New York XXXX SS # : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.

1. This inquiry was made without my knowledge or consent. 
XXXX Date of inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX Please delete from my credit file immediately 2. This inquiry was made without my knowledge or consent. 
XXXX Date of inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX Please delete from my credit file immediately However, they stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : 1. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate.

2. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services.

3. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and procedures outlined in the FCRA.

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : 1. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report.

2. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes.

Enclosures : Copies of my credit reports Copies of my dispute letters Copies of any supporting documentation I provided to the credit bureaus Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

This is in reference to : XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Account ending in XXXX Balance due : {$4700.00} XXXX trust this message finds you well. I've been reviewing my credit report and came across some information that raised a few questions. In my exploration, I delved into the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 USC 1681, section 602, which highlights the need for consumer reporting agencies to exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumers ' right to privacy.

As a consumer, I've been thinking about my rights and responsibilities in this context. According to 15 USC 6801, it is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and protect the security and confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information.

Digging deeper, I found 15 USC 1681, section 604, which outlines the circumstances under which a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report. It explicitly mentions that they can do so only in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I want to emphasize that I haven't given any written consent for the sharing of my information, and this concerns me. 

Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) notes that a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a non-affiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how they can exercise the nondisclosure option. To my knowledge, I have not been informed of such an option.

I also stumbled upon 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), which states that no consumer reporting agency may make a consumer report containing adverse information without authorization. It appears that an adverse item is being reported without my permission, which, according to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A, is against the law. 

The Act further mandates that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of the statute. Unfortunately, it seems that Equifax and XXXX XXXXy not be following these guidelines, as indicated in 15 U.S. Code 1681e.

Lastly, I discovered in 12 CFR 1016.7 that a consumer has the right to opt out of reporting services at any time. I'm choosing to exercise that right.

I wanted to bring these specific sections of the Act to your attention and discuss how we can address these concerns. Your insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

ACCOUNT NAME/NUMBER : XXXX XXXX AMOUNT XXXX {$31000.00} Dear TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I am writing to dispute the presence of certain charge offs on my credit report. I believe that these charge offs have been reported in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the XXXX XXXX compliancy requirements. 
Specifically, I believe that the information reported by your agency regarding these charge offs is inaccurate, incomplete, and misleading. As a result, my credit score has been unfairly impacted and I have suffered damages as a result. 
Under the FCRA, it is your responsibility to ensure that all information reported to credit bureaus is accurate and up-to-date. Additionally, the XXXX XXXX compliance guidelines outline specific reporting requirements for charged off accounts, including the requirement to report the date of first delinquency and the date of charge off. 
Based on my own records, I believe that the information reported by your agency is incorrect and in violation of these guidelines. I have attached copies of my records to this letter for your review. 
I am requesting that you investigate this matter and correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in my credit report. 
Additionally, I am requesting that you provide me with a copy of the investigation results and any updates made to my credit report as a result of your investigation. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

In approximately XXXX I moved to XXXX XXXX  from XXXX. I started bank accounts with Chase Bank in XXXX, NY. A safe deposit box was given to us. I stated at the time that I did not want it, nor did I need it. The Chase employee said not to worry that it was free and I didn't have to use it. In XXXX we moved from XXXX XXXX to XXXX. We made arrangements to move accounts and met with the bank to close the safe deposit box. In XXXX we moved back to Michigan and then in XXXX, Chase sends us a notice that we still have the safe deposit box and that they will no longer be free and we will be charged {$90.00} a year rental. My wife called to dispute this and was told the box was never closed and that they never received the keys. Chase also stated that we have to be there in person to close the box, there is no other way. We have been trying to close this in every way possible an simply think that it is unfair to start charging for a safe deposit box and give me no other way to close it than to travel XXXX plus miles each way to close this in person.

Dear Equifax I am disputing the account ( s ) stated in this document. Previously, I disputed this account information as being inaccurate, incomplete, and invalidated and you responded by stating you were able to verify or validate this debt. Tell me how is that possible when you have employees and an automated system judging my disputes within seconds? Its no way a real investigation was made. Under the laws of the FDCPA, I have contacted the collection agency myself, and they have failed to validate that this is indeed my debt. I have copies of my requests to the collection agency, asking them to validate the debt, as well as the receipts showing I sent them a letter by certified signature request. I was given no evidence of my obligation to pay this debt to these collection agencies. This debt is not mine. The Fair Credit Reporting act. requires you to verify the validity of this within 30 days. If the validity can not be verified, you are obligated by law to remove it from my credit file. I urge you to remove this account before I am forced to take legal action. If you can not verify the item pursuant to FCRA. And you continue to report it on my credit. I will find it necessary to ( Sue you for actual damages and defamation of my character. According to FCRA regulations, I may sue you in any qualified state or federal court. 



including a small claims court in my area. This is my warning. I demand you to delete these items at once. 




XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account number : XXXX, Please correct/update this inaccurate information on my credit report. You can not report this account as updated when nothing has been changed! The same incorrect information is still being reported and nothing has been updated. You must remove these incorrect late payments from this account ASAP.
