Complaint narrative:
This complaint formally addresses severe violations by Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion concerning numerous inaccurate, unverifiable, and fraudulent entries on my credit reports. Each bureau reports distinctly varying, inaccurate details, including inconsistent account numbers, open dates, last active dates, unauthorized names, addresses, employers, and other key identifiers across all accounts. These discrepancies explicitly violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Identity Theft Assumption Deterrence Act, and the Metro 2 guidelines for accurate credit reporting.
