Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute of Incorrect Bankruptcy Reporting Public Record Not Validated To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit report. After conducting my own investigation, I contacted the Clerk of the Court regarding the bankruptcy record that you have listed under my name. According to the Clerk of the Court, they did not validate or provide any information regarding this bankruptcy to you or any credit reporting agency. 
This leads me to believe that either the information was fabricated, or a serious error was made in your reporting process. In either case, this bankruptcy is incorrectly listed and must be removed from my credit report immediately. Reporting false public records is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Details of the Disputed Bankruptcy : Filing Court : Bankruptcy : Dismissed XXXX Case Number : XXXX Date Filed :XX/XX/XXXX Under the FCRA, you are legally required to ensure that all information reported is accurate and verifiable. Since the Clerk of the Court has confirmed that they did not validate or supply the information regarding this bankruptcy, it is clear that this public record is false and must be removed without delay. 
I am requesting that you : 1. Immediately conduct a reinvestigation into this matter. 
2. Delete the bankruptcy record from my credit report as it has not been properly validated. 
3. Provide written confirmation that this inaccurate information has been permanently removed. 

If this matter is not resolved promptly within the required 30-day timeframe, I am fully prepared to pursue legal action against your company. Under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C 1681 ), I will seek statutory damages, punitive damages, and reasonable attorneys fees for willful non-compliance and the ongoing harm caused by your reporting of false information. I will also file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I expect swift action and look forward to your prompt written confirmation that this inaccurate public record has been removed from my credit file. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
