Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding discrepancies in my credit reports among the three major credit reporting agencies : Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ), each credit report is supposed to reflect the same accurate information. However, I have found significant inconsistencies among the reports provided by these agencies. 
Which now is affecting my credit score across the board.. 

**Discrepancies Identified : ** Equifax has removed the discrepancies of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX by doing so the other 2 credit reporting agencies MUST & I repeat MUST remove them too in order to comply with per.15.us.1681 if nothing is done this time I will have no choice but to take legal federal actions to hold these agencies accountable for not upholding the integrity that has been bestowed upon them BY THE CONSUMERS.. 
While on this topic on my XXXX credit report XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was charged off XX/XX/XXXX when something is charged off it becomes income for the credit leander therefore it can not be reported on a consumers credit report as a credit owed, likewise capital credit card it was charged off & sold... 

On XXXX the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX, & the same XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was charged off in XXXX of XXXX Also while the agencies are removing inaccurate information be sure to remove ALL NON-MAILABLE ADDRESSES the ONLY address that should be on my reports is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, NY XXXX, the ONLY phone number should be XXXX & the ONLY name should look like this XXXX XXXX any other should be REMOVED OFF of my report **Impact on My Credit : ** My Credit scores are different across the board My Equifax is in the mid XXXX 's while the others are in the low XXXX 's and even in the high XXXX 's which is not acceptable AT ALL this MUST be fixed a.s.a.p. 



**Efforts to Resolve : ** I have already filed XXXX CFPB complaints about these inaccuracies ONLY EQUIFAX have removed the inaccuracies off of my credit, However by doing so the other credit agencies by default MUST REMOVE the same to keep the accuracy of credit reporting between the 3 major credit reporting agencies.

**Legal Basis : ** - As per 15 U.S.C. 1681, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they provide. The discrepancies in my credit reports indicate a failure to comply with this legal requirement.

**Action Needed To Correct The Matter : ** I request that the CFPB investigate these discrepancies and take appropriate action to ensure that the credit reporting agencies comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act of Specifically, I request that : 1.All inaccurate information be corrected across all three credit reports.

2. The credit reporting agencies implement measures to prevent such discrepancies in the future.

15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information ( a ) Notice requirements Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, afinancial institutionmay not, directly or through anyaffiliate, disclose to anonaffiliated third partyanynonpublic personal information, unless suchfinancial institutionprovides or has provided to theconsumera notice that complies withsection 6803 of this title.
