Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate and incomplete information reported in my credit file. Upon reviewing my credit reports from XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, I have identified multiple discrepancies that are inconsistent and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under 15 USC 1681i.

Congressional findings of the FCRA clearly state : " 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. '' It is evident that the inaccurate and incomplete reporting of the following accounts undermines public confidence and violates the statutory obligations of fair and accurate reporting. 

Account XXXX : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) Reported By : XXXX, XXXXType : Revolving Account Discrepancies : Amount Owed : XXXX reports {$3500.00}, while XXXX reports {$3600.00}. This is a discrepancy of {$80.00}. 

Date of First Delinquency : XXXX reports XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX reports XX/XX/XXXX. This is a discrepancy of 3 days. 

Date of Last Payment : XXXX reports XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX reports XX/XX/XXXX. This is a discrepancy of 1 day. 

Payment History : XXXX shows 30 days past due in XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX reports 60 days past due for the same period. 

These inconsistencies are clear violations of 15 USC 1681i, which mandates a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information. I request immediate action to investigate and correct this reporting.

Payment History : XXXX shows 30 days past due in XX/XX/XXXX, while Equifax and XXXX mark the account as " Current '' for the same period. 

These reporting issues are unfair and require immediate correction as per 15 USC 1681i.
