Complaint narrative:
This is a formal, final dispute notice regarding multiple unauthorized, inaccurate, and harmful accounts and inquiries reporting across all three of my credit reports. I am formally invoking my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and FACTA, and demanding immediate deletion of all items listed below. 

Despite previous disputes, these accounts remain or have been reinserted without proper reinvestigation and without consumer notification, both of which are direct violations of federal law.
