Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the bankruptcy being reported on my credit report. The credit report states that this bankruptcy is furnished by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of Alabama, but after contacting the court, they confirmed that they do not furnish or report any information to credit bureaus. Therefore, the bankruptcy information currently being reported by your agency is unverifiable, false, and misleading.

This bankruptcy has been incorrectly listed on my credit report for several years, despite my consistent disputes claiming that it is not mine. I am requesting immediate removal of this inaccurate information from my credit report, as it is causing unnecessary harm to my credit profile.

Please investigate this matter AND STOP USING OCR ( IF I AM TELLING YOU ITS WRONG PLEASE COMPLETE A HAND INVESTIGATION OR JUST REMOVE IT ) and provide me with confirmation that the false information has been removed. I appreciate your prompt attention to correcting this error.

Complaint narrative:
Formal Complaint Improper Debt Verification and Illegal Reporting Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to submit a formal complaint against Credit Collection Service for improperly reporting a debt on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This company has failed to contact me or provide any proper validation of the alleged debt, as required by federal law. 

I do not believe that this debt is valid, nor have I had any prior dealings with Credit Collection Services. Furthermore, I suspect that this company illegally obtained my personal information and improperly used it to report inaccurate information to the credit bureaus. 

Under the FCRA, companies reporting debts must take the following steps : Provide written notice of the debt within five days of first contact.

Offer me the opportunity to dispute the debt and request validation within 30 days.

Upon dispute, supply proper documentation that validates the debt, including any original agreements or contracts with my signature.

Credit Collection Services has failed to follow these legal requirements. They did not notify me, provide any form of communication, or supply proper documentation verifying this debt. Reporting unverified information is not only unethical but also illegal under the FCRA. 

I am demanding that XXXX XXXX XXXX remove this unverified and inaccurate debt from my credit report immediately. If this issue is not resolved within 14 days of receiving this letter, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action against the company for violations of my consumer rights. 

I request that the CFPB investigate this matter promptly to ensure compliance and protect my credit profile from further harm. I also ask that written confirmation be provided once this debt is removed. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
