Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to demand immediate action regarding the extensive and ongoing inaccuracies on my XXXX XXXX account ( # XXXX ) as reported by XXXX , XXXX, and Equifax . Despite my repeated efforts to dispute and resolve these errors directly with each bureau, they continue to report inaccurate and conflicting information in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Account Details and Reporting Inaccuracies : Account Number : XXXX Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$410.00} Creditor Type : Utilities/Wireless Telephone Service Date Opened XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  Payment Status : Closed / Collection account / Seriously past due date Dispute Status : " Not disputed '' on XXXX and Equifax , despite multiple formal disputes. 
Key Inaccuracies Across Bureaus : Inconsistent Date of Last Activity : XXXX and Equifax list the last activity date as XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX records it as XX/XX/XXXX, resulting in an inconsistency that must be resolved. 
Conflicting Closed Dates : XXXX and Equifax show the closing date as XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX lists it as XX/XX/XXXX. This discrepancy in such a key detail makes the reporting unreliable. 
Contradictory Payment History : XXXX shows this account as Charge-Off ( CO ) from XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, while Equifax reflects on-time ( " OK '' ) payments in the same periods. This misalignment conflicts with the FCRAs requirement for accuracy. 
Incorrect Dispute Status : Despite my documented disputes, XXXX and Equifax still list this account as " not disputed, '' violating my rights under FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) for disputed information to be investigated and corrected. 
Incomplete Payment History Reporting by XXXX : XXXX does not provide any payment history for this account, creating an incomplete and misleading profile that fails FCRAs standards for accurate and complete reporting. 
FCRA Violations and Legal Consequences : The FCRA mandates clear, accurate, and verifiable information. These credit bureaus actions are in clear violation of : FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : Failure to correct or delete inaccurate or unverifiable information after a dispute.

FCRA Section 607 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : Failure to use reasonable procedures to ensure maximum accuracy.

FCRA Sections 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) : Allowing consumers to seek damages for willful or negligent non-compliance.

Intent to Pursue Legal Action : If these inaccuracies are not removed within 15 days, I will file a lawsuit under the FCRA for damages resulting from willful and negligent non-compliance by the credit bureaus. 

Attached are copies of my recent credit reports from XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, as well as records of my previous disputes. I trust that the CFPB will take swift action to ensure compliance with FCRA standards and protect my rights as a consumer.

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
