Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against the three major credit reporting agencies : XXXX, XXXX, and Experian, for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and for reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. 

XXXX Violation : Non-mailable Address : XXXX has listed a non-mailable address on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX. This is not my address and needs to be removed immediately. 
XXXX Violation : Incorrect Spelling of Employer : XXXX has incorrectly listed the spelling of my employer as " XXXX XXXX. '' The correct spelling is " XXXX XXXX. '' This incorrect information needs to be corrected immediately. 
According to 15 USC 1681 Congressional findings and statement of purpose ( a ) ( 1 ), it states : " The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. '' As these agencies are reporting inaccurate information, I have the right to have them removed and corrected. 

Unauthorized Inquiries : XXXX, XXXX, and Experian have also allowed items to be placed on my credit report without my permission. There are a large number of inquiries that have been furnished on my credit report that I do not recognize and have not given my written permission to add. This constitutes inaccurate reporting backed by 15 USC 1681b Permissible Purposes. I noticed these unauthorized inquiries on my report in XX/XX/year> and have since filed a report with the FTC regarding these unauthorized actions. 

Failure to Correct Information : According to 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information within 30 days. A month ago, I tried to have these items removed, but the failure of these agencies to correct the misinformation on my report in a timely manner violates this code.

Requirement to Follow Procedures : Under 15 USC 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. The presence of incorrect addresses and misspelled employer names indicates a breach of this obligation. 

I request that these inaccuracies be investigated and corrected promptly. Furthermore, I seek the removal of any unauthorized inquiries and a review of my credit report to ensure all information is accurate and fair as per the guidelines set forth by the FCRA. 

All inccorect addresses, spellings and inquiries I wish to be removed are attached and highlight.
