XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Information Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate and outdated information being reported on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681, 1681c, and 1681s-2. Please find below the details of the accounts in question : 1. Account Name/Number : Issue : The balance reported is inaccurate as it is not mine. This account does not belong to me, and I did not authorize this transaction, nor did I consent to it being reported under my name.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) : This section explicitly prohibits reporting inaccurate information knowingly or without reasonable verification.
