Complaint narrative:
RE : Inaccurate and Inconsistent Credit Reporting CFPB Complaint I am filing a complaint regarding inaccurate and inconsistent credit reporting across the three major credit bureaus : XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion. 

The account ( s ) in question are being reported differently by each bureau including mismatched balances, payment statuses, or account dates. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires all information furnished to consumer reporting agencies to be complete and accurate. 

I previously disputed these inaccuracies directly with the credit bureaus and/or data furnishers , and the errors have not been corrected. This demonstrates a failure to conduct a reasonable investigation as required under 611 of the FCRA. 

I have attached screenshots from XXXX showing the account ( s ) side-by-side across all three bureaus, highlighting the discrepancies. These errors are negatively affecting my credit profile and need to be corrected immediately.

I am requesting the following : A formal investigation into the account ( s ) listed in my dispute.

Deletion or correction of any inaccurate or unverifiable information.

A copy of the results and documentation relied upon in the reinvestigation.

Please see the attached screenshots for proof of the inconsistent reporting. I reserve the right to take further action under the FCRA and FDCPA if this matter is not resolved. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of accounts that appear on my credit report under my name without my knowledge, authorization, or consent. I have never opened, authorized, or managed these accounts, and their presence is both inaccurate and misleading.

Complaint narrative:
Under the FDCPA and FCRA, verification is not just a name matchit is a sworn affidavit or certified statement of truth. Per 15 U.S.C. 1681n, your continued reporting without proper verification is willful noncompliance.

I demand proof of delivery of the initial dunning letter within 14 days of placing this account on my credit report, including a certified mail tracking number. If you can not provide this, you must delete this tradeline immediately and cease all collection activity, including reporting. 

I never had an account with XXXX XXXX, and you are neither the original creditor nor a valid assignee. Debt buyers are not creditors under the law. 

This account is still within the federal debt validation window, per 1006.34. Failure to comply will result in further action to seek justice for the harm caused.
