Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX EXPERIAN, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Reporting by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX EXPERIAN, XXXX XXXX XXXX  I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of a closed account referenced as a charge-off from XXXX XXXX on my credit report. This account is erroneously reported as both a closed account and a past due account, which is misleading and inaccurate. Additionally, I have observed that since this reporting, XXXX XXXX has continuously added an extra dollar to the reported balance, which I believe is both improper and malicious. 

The reporting of this account violates specific provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including but not limited to : 1. **Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) ** : The right to obtain a copy of my credit report and dispute inaccurate information contained within. The continuous addition to the balance clearly indicates that the reported information is misleading.

2. **Section 602 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) ** : The FCRA mandates that consumer reporting agencies must ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information in consumer reports. A charged-off account should not continue accruing a balance.

3. **Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) ** : This section requires furnishers of information to provide accurate information, and the failure to report the account as charged off only, instead of as continuing to accumulate a balance, is a clear violation. 

Moreover, my payment history across all bureaus shows inconsistencies, where the account appears to be in collections one month and then reported as an on-time payment the next. Such discrepancies cause further confusion regarding my creditworthiness, leading to potential harm in my ability to secure loans or credit.

Given the inaccurate and misleading nature of these reports, I request that the following actions be taken : 1. **Immediate deletion of the XXXX XXXX account from my credit report. ** 2. **A thorough investigation into this matter to ensure compliance with FCRA regulations. ** 3. **Compensation for the damages I have incurred due to these inaccurate and malicious violations of my rights under the FCRA XXXX ** I have attached supporting documentation to substantiate my claims, including copies of my credit report and any correspondence from XXXX XXXX. Please investigate this matter within the required 30 days and provide me with the results. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
