Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered multiple inaccurate collection accounts on my credit report. These entries were made without my knowledge or consent, and they violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2. Despite having already filed a dispute and providing all the necessary documentation, the credit reporting agencies and the companies responsible have failed to remove these inaccurate collection accounts.

This is the second formal complaint I am filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) because the previous complaint was ignored, and the inaccurate collection accounts continue to appear on my credit report. These accounts are causing significant damage to my credit score, and the continued reporting of this erroneous information is both misleading and a violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Specifically : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ), the companies reporting these collections must have a permissible purpose for accessing or reporting this information, which they have failed to demonstrate.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), the furnishers of information have a legal obligation to correct and update inaccurate or incomplete information once a dispute has been filed. Despite receiving my dispute, these furnishers have neglected to update or remove the inaccurate information.

Furthermore, the 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) provision requires credit reporting agencies to adopt reasonable procedures to assure the maximum possible accuracy of the information in consumer reports. By continuing to report these erroneous collection accounts, the credit reporting agencies are in direct violation of this provision, and I am seeking corrective action under the law.

The Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) has issued clear guidelines about the obligations of credit reporting agencies and furnishers under the FCRA. My complaint is further supported by FTC Report XXXX. XXXX, which underscores the need for compliance with these legal obligations.
