Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint regarding multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), involving reporting discrepancies and lack of proper dispute handling across Experian, Equifax, TransUnion, and various furnishers. 

I have already submitted debt validation letters to all the collection agencies involved and have USPS delivery confirmation. I have also submitted a XXXX consumer file request to trace potential upstream file pollution. 

Below is a breakdown of the issues by account and agency XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) Reporting on TransUnion and Equifax, but not Experian Disputed on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX  still shows as active collection No written notice of reinsertion was provided ( required under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ) Balance : {$3200.00} XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Reporting on all 3 bureaus for {$1600.00} Only Experian acknowledges my XX/XX/XXXX dispute TransUnion and Equifax do not mark the account as disputed ( violates FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) ) Equifax report is missing the Date of First Delinquency, which is required under FCRA Debt validation letter sent and received no verification provided XXXX.

Experian Inaccurate Personal Information Experian is listing 26 separate addresses on my report, including one from Texas where I have never lived This is likely the result of file contamination or mixed file identity theft TransUnion and Equifax both correctly show only my 3 most recent addresses Experian has ignored prior disputes to remove these This violates FCRA 607 ( b ) : failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date consumer file information Requested Resolution : Immediate deletion of any unverifiable, inaccurate, or misrepresented accounts Mandatory dispute markings across all bureaus Documentation proving ownership and origin of any debt accounts Deletion of the fraudulent Macys tradeline Removal of the Texas address and other inaccurate personal info from Experian Review of XXXX XXXX account for possible illegal re-aging or reinsertion Bureau-level enforcement of compliance
