Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to dispute the inaccurate information on my credit report that has negatively impacted my life. Specifically, I am disputing the information reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( account number XXXX ) that states I was 60 days late on XX/XX/XXXX when I did not miss any payments on the account. 

These inaccurate reports have caused me significant emotional distress and have made it difficult for me to obtain credit and loans at reasonable rates. Despite disputing the inaccurate information with the credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ), no action has been taken to correct the errors. 

I believe that these actions by XXXX XXXX XXXX and the CRAs violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ). Specifically, I believe that the following sections have been violated : Section 607 ( a ) of the FCRA, which requires that CRAs maintain reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of the information in consumer reports. The inaccurate reporting by XXXX XXXX XXXX could be seen as a violation of this section. 

Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA, which requires that CRAs promptly investigate disputes filed by consumers about the accuracy of their credit reports. Despite disputing the inaccurate information, no action has been taken to investigate and correct the errors, which could be seen as a violation of this section.

Section 623 ( b ) of the FCRA, which requires that CRAs provide consumers with a free copy of their credit report once every 12 months upon request. Despite requesting a free copy of my credit report, the CRAs failed to provide me with one, which could be seen as a violation of this section.

Section 312 of FACTA, which requires that creditors and financial institutions implement procedures to detect and prevent identity theft. If the creditor failed to implement adequate procedures to prevent the inaccurate reporting of your credit information or to prevent identity theft, this could be seen as a violation of this section. 

In addition to these violations, I would like to share how these inaccuracies have affected my life. I have been denied loans and credit cards due to the inaccurate information, and have been forced to pay higher interest rates and fees. This has caused significant financial strain and stress, and has made it difficult for me to achieve my financial goals. 

Therefore, I am requesting that XXXX XXXX XXXX remove the unverified account from my credit report, and that the CRAs promptly investigate and correct the inaccurate information. I believe that enforcement of the legal requirements is necessary to ensure that creditors and CRAs accurately report credit information and protect the rights of consumers. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
