Despite multiple requests for correction dated XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, no updates have been made to address the errors. This negligence is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ).

Creditor Remarks : Inconsistent remarks regarding account closure. TransUnion indicates " Canceled by credit grantor, '' while Experian states " Account has been closed due to inactivity.
