Complaint narrative:
DEMAND FOR IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTCY ENTRY VIOLATION OF THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT ( FCRA ) AND REGULATION V To Whom It May Concern : I, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, hereby submit a formal legal dispute regarding a falsely reported XXXX XXXX XXXX currently listed in my credit files maintained by XXXX XXXX, and TransUnion. This entry is materially inaccurate, unverifiable, and fraudulent in its nature and structure. It constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ), Regulation V ( 12 C.F.R. Part 1022 ), and other applicable federal consumer protection laws. This dispute is further supported by FTC Identity Theft Report No. XXXX, which confirms I am a documented victim of identity theft. 

SECTION I INVALIDITY OF THE RECORD DUE TO MATERIAL INACCURACY AND DOCUMENTARY FRAUD The bankruptcy record reported under the reference numbers XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX across the three credit bureaus is legally invalid and must be treated as fraudulent, as it presents factual inconsistencies and documentary defects that render it incompatible with the law. Specifically : There is no valid federal bankruptcy court case number provided, which prevents verification through PACER and fails to meet the requirements for reporting public records.

The court names reported ( U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Federal, and US BKPT CT FL XXXX ) are either vague, incomplete, or non-standard and do not correspond to any identifiable jurisdiction, violating the standard of verifiability under 12 C.F.R. 1022.42 ( c ). 

All versions of the record report XXXX dollars in assets, liabilities, and exemptions, which contradicts the basic structure of a lawful XXXX XXXX XXXX filing. 

Different reference numbers are assigned to the same supposed case across bureaus, indicating improper Metro 2 formatting and a failure of inter-agency consistency required under the FCRA.

The date the bankruptcy is reported to have been filed ( XX/XX/XXXX ) matches the date I reported identity theft to the FTC, which is a direct chronological conflict and a strong indication that the entry is not legitimate. 

SECTION II DISPUTED RECORD DETAILS TransUnion Reported Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reference Number : XXXX Court : U.S. Bankruptcy Court Discharge Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reported Amounts : {$0.00} assets, {$0.00} liabilities, {$0.00} exemptions XXXX  Reported Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reference Number : XXXX Court : US BKPT CT FL XXXX Discharge Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reported Amounts : {$0.00} assets, {$0.00} liabilities, {$0.00} exemptions XXXX Reported Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reference Number : XXXX Court : Federal ( unspecified ) Discharge Date : Not reported Reported Amounts : {$0.00} assets, {$0.00} liabilities, {$0.00} exemptions SECTION III LEGAL BASIS Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : Obligation to ensure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i : Right to dispute and obtain a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 : Right to block identity theft-related information 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) : Furnishers may not report inaccurate or unverifiable information Regulation V 12 C.F.R. 1022.42 Credit reporting agencies must verify all public record information with original, official sources and may only report data that is accurate, complete, and fully documented.
