Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Representative, I am filing this complaint because XXXX  is reporting multiple inaccurate, unverified, and fraudulent items on my credit report. I have disputed these items directly with XXXX, but they continue to appear, causing damage to my credit, stress, and financial harm.

I am requesting CFPB assistance to require XXXX  and the data furnishers to provide proof of verification or remove these items from my report.

DISPUTED PERSONAL INFORMATION WRONG / FRAUDULENT ADDRESSES These addresses are not mine, never associated with me, and appear due to identity theft, file contamination, or improper matching, violating FCRA 607 ( b ) and 609 ( a ) ( 1 ).

I demand immediate deletion under FCRA accuracy requirements.
