'' -- - Final Enhanced Version : ** '' I am filing this complaint due to inaccurate information being reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report, violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and potentially the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

The account, originally opened with XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, was closed in XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$14000.00} written off. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX is inaccurately reporting an open balance of {$8200.00}. I disputed this with the credit bureaus, and the account is marked 'Account information disputed by consumer ', but the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 

I requested validation of the reported balance and proof of the account status as required under : FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ), which mandates furnishers to investigate and correct inaccurate information upon notice of a dispute.

FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ), requiring credit bureaus to conduct a reasonable investigation.

FDCPA ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ), which prohibits false or misleading representations by debt collectors.

Despite my efforts and the lapse of over 30 days since the dispute was filed, no corrections or valid documentation have been provided, violating FCRA timelines. This inaccurate reporting has negatively impacted my credit score, limiting my access to credit and resulting in higher interest rates. 

I am requesting the immediate correction or removal of the inaccurate information, written confirmation from all involved parties, and assurance of compliance with FCRA and FDCPA regulations. Supporting documents, including copies of my credit report and dispute correspondence, are attached for review. " **
