Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am filing this formal complaint because my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) have been repeatedly violated by the nationwide consumer reporting agencies. I have submitted multiple disputes regarding inaccurate personal information, unverifiable late payments, and an excessive number of unauthorized hard inquiries. Despite this, the items remain uninvestigated and uncorrected, placing me at risk of credit denials, higher interest rates, and reputational harm. 

My Story : In recent months, I began reviewing my credit reports more closely after being denied for a loan I truly needed. What I discovered was not only shockingit was devastating. My reports were filled with inaccurate personal data, late payment notations on accounts that are fully paid off, and numerous hard inquiries I never authorized. 

Despite being proactive and submitting timely written disputes with proof, the credit bureaus have failed to act. These errors have negatively impacted my financial well-being, cost me opportunities, and caused emotional distress. 

XXXX. Inaccurate Address Reporting Wrong Personal Information The following address is not connected to me and should not be listed on my credit report. It does not belong to me, and I have never lived there : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, SC XXXX Violation : FCRA 607 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) Failure to maintain accurate information FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) Failure to reinvestigate disputed information 2. Late Payments on Paid Accounts Inaccurate Account Status I am reporting XXXX accounts that are listed with late payments, even though the balances are {$0.00} and have been closed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00} Status : Reporting Late Payment XXXX  # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00} Status : Reporting Late Payment These accounts were either paid in full or closed with a {$0.00} balance. Reporting them as late after they are closed and paid off is factually inaccurate and misleading. 

Violations : FCRA 607 ( b ) Failure to maintain accuracy FCRA 611 ( a ) Failure to investigate and correct errors FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Furnishers reporting information with knowledge of inaccuracy 3. Unauthorized or Excessive Hard Inquiries No Permissible Purpose There are over 18 hard inquiries on my credit reportmost within a very short time spanwithout my knowledge or authorization. These include auto dealerships, financial institutions, and retail credit that I never applied for. 

Hard Inquiries I Am Disputing as Unauthorized : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX These inquiries were not authorized by me, and I was not given any notice or consent.
