Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Complaint narrative:
CFPB Complaint Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Complaint against XXXX for Inaccurate Bankruptcy Information on Credit Report Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing a formal complaint regarding an inaccurate bankruptcy entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to have it corrected. Below are the details of the dispute : 1. Company Information : Company Name : Experian Company Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Phone Number : ( XXXX ) XXXX ( Experian ) 2. Nature of the Complaint : I am disputing the inclusion of a bankruptcy on my credit report that was filed with the { US BANKRUPTCY XXXX } XXXX The bankruptcy was reported under reference # { XXXX } and listed the date of filing as { XX/XX/XXXX } Court # ( XXXX ). I have received a memorandum from the original creditor confirming that they have not sent any information regarding this bankruptcy to the credit bureaus.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Rule 623 ( a ) ( 5 ), the original creditor is required to submit accurate and verifiable information to the credit bureaus. The information regarding the bankruptcy is therefore incorrect and must be removed because the original creditor has stated they never reported it. This violates both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the provisions of 15 U.S.C. 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) and ( 2 ). 

XXXX. Actions Taken : On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a written dispute directly to XXXX requesting the removal of the bankruptcy from my credit report, citing the memorandum from the original creditor confirming they did not report this bankruptcy. I attached the memorandum as supporting documentation.

4. Impact on Me : The bankruptcy that appears on my credit report is erroneous, and it has negatively affected my credit score and my ability to obtain credit. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is causing harm to my financial well-being.

5. Desired Resolution : I request that XXXX immediately remove the inaccurate bankruptcy entry from my credit report. The information has been confirmed by the original creditor as not having been reported to Experian, which makes its inclusion on my credit report a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
I am attaching a copy of the memorandum from the original creditor as evidence of the inaccuracy. 


Thank you for your time and assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, DC XXXX Subject : Complaint Against Experian for Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally submit a complaint against Experian for what I believe to be violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I have recently discovered that a positive account, which has been in good standing for over a year, was removed from my credit report without my consent or any prior notification. This action has severely impacted my credit score and undermines the accuracy and fairness of credit reporting, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681. 

The FCRA mandates that consumer reporting agencies, such as Experian, must adopt reasonable procedures to ensure the confidentiality, accuracy, and proper utilization of consumer information. The removal of a positive account not only fails to meet these standards but also raises concerns about the integrity of the reporting process. The banking system relies on accurate credit reporting, and Experian 's actions directly impair this reliability, potentially damaging consumers ' financial standing. 

I request that the CFPB investigate this matter to ensure that Experian adheres to the regulations set forth in the FCRA and that my credit report is corrected to reflect accurate and fair information. I appreciate your attention to this serious issue and look forward to your prompt response. 

Thank you for your assistance. 

Sincerely,

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.
