Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX GA XXXX Dear Equifax, This letter is a formal demand to dispute and remove the following inaccurate and unverifiable accounts from my credit report. I am fully aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I am holding you accountable for your failure to meet the required standards for accuracy and proper investigation. 

The accounts I am disputing are as follows : 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 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  The reasons for this dispute are as follows : Violation of FCRA Sections 1681e ( b ) and 1681i ( a ) : Under the FCRA, specifically Sections 1681e ( b ) and 1681i ( a ), you are legally obligated to ensure that all information in my credit report is accurate, complete, and verifiable. Recent lawsuits against both XXXX and Equifax have proven that your company has failed to meet these obligations. I am holding you responsible for failing to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy in the reporting of my information. 

Failure to Verify and Investigate Properly : The accounts listed above are either inaccurate or unverifiable. Section 1681i of the FCRA requires you to investigate any disputed item within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If you can not verify these accounts or if they do not meet the legal standards for reporting, they must be removed immediately from my credit report. 

Recent Legal Action and Non-Compliance : In light of the recent lawsuits where XXXX and Equifax were found to be in violation of the FCRA by failing to ensure the accuracy of credit reports, I am demanding immediate action. Your failure to properly verify and investigate these accounts is unacceptable, and I will not tolerate the continued presence of inaccurate information on my credit file. 

As required by law, you have 30 days to complete your investigation and provide me with the results. If these accounts can not be verified or if the investigation is not conducted properly, you must immediately delete these items from my credit report and notify me of such action. 

If this matter is not resolved within the statutory time frame, I will not hesitate to take further action, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), as well as pursuing all available legal remedies. 

I expect a prompt and thorough investigation and resolution. If you require any additional information, I am prepared to provide it, but I expect nothing less than full compliance with the law. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
