Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed and provided proof that this is false information reported on both our credit reports. One credit report has properly removed the information but the other two haven't. 
We moved into The XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX. It became evident that there was mold in the plumbing including the toilets and HVAC. At first the leasing manager agreed to let us move after we paid to have the property inspected and found dangerous mold particles in the air. Through several emails at the end of XXXX, the leasing manager advised we could move out whenever was convienient for us and they would refund our {$250.00} admin fee and the {$500.00} deposit once we moved. The leasing manager, after we had secured a new place to live, stated that before we leave we needed to sign a " XXXX XXXX '' that was not mentioned in the email stating we could move. This agreement released the company from any liability and restricted us from speaking about the property 's mold issues. We refused to sign that since there was never a mention of it and if it had been presented before would not have agreed and would have proceeded to have the health department inspect the home. We proceeded to move out XX/XX/XXXX since that had already been agreed to in emails. 
Around XX/XX/XXXX, we received a collection notice for {$3100.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I inquired what the collection was for and they advised it was for Early Termination. They reported to all 3 credit reports. We should not have been charged anything since we were told we could leave and that we would receive a refund. The charge minus the {$500.00} deposit we paid is equal to 2 months rent. However, the Early Termination Fee stated in the lease is only 1 month which would be {$1800.00} minus the {$500.00} deposit. We would only be charged {$1300.00} if the fee were even valid. I have disputed the charges showing proof of the emails and lease and only 1 credit reporting agency has removed the information.
