Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam I am submitting this complaint regarding multiple inaccurate, fraudulent, and unverifiable entries on my credit report. These items include charge-offs, late payments, and unauthorized inquiries. I dispute the validity and accuracy of all listed accounts under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, 1681s-2 ( b ), and 1681s-2 ( a ). I request a thorough investigation, correction, or deletion of these items immediately.

I never received any statements, notifications, or communications regarding this account.

I demand deletion of this account from my credit report.

I request that the status be corrected to reflect accurate, timely payments and that all late payment notations be removed.
