Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this complaint because my credit report contains inaccurate, misleading, and unverifiable information that violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and other applicable federal consumer protection laws. Despite attempts to resolve these issues directly with the credit reporting agencies, my disputes remain unresolved. Therefore, I am seeking the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to investigate and enforce my rights.

FCRA Violation 611 : Failure of bureaus to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation upon my dispute.

Impact : The continuous reporting of late payments is causing undue harm to my creditworthiness and future borrowing ability.
