Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally complain about inaccurate and illegal reporting of transactions on my credit report, which I believe violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681a.

I have carefully reviewed my credit report, and I have identified several inaccuracies in the reporting of late payments and utilization of credit. As per 15 U.S. Code 1681a, The term consumer reporting agency means any person which, for monetary fees, dues, or on a cooperative nonprofit basis, regularly engages in whole or in part in the practice of assembling or evaluating consumer credit information or other information on consumers for the purpose of furnishing consumer reports to third parties, and which uses any means or facility of interstate commerce for the purpose of preparing or furnishing consumer reports. \n The term consumer means an individual. \n The term consumer report means any written, oral, or other communication of \nany information by a consumer reporting agency bearing on a consumers credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living. 

* ( 2 ) Exclusions \n ( A ) ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; \n It is illegal to report inaccurate information that adversely affects a consumer 's creditworthiness.

* XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Account number : XXXX. Account type : Credit Card. Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX. 100 % Utilization.\n I am formally requesting that you conduct a thorough investigation into these matters, as required by the FCRA. I kindly request that you promptly correct the inaccurate information on my credit report by removing the incorrect late payments and adjusting the reported credit utilization. 

I understand that under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, you are required to conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days of receiving a dispute. I urge you to adhere to this statutory requirement and provide me with written notification of the results of your investigation. 

If the investigation confirms the inaccuracies, I request that you update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a revised copy. Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with information on the steps taken to prevent such errors in the future. 

If my concerns are not addressed within the stipulated time frame, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Please treat this matter with the urgency it deserves.
