Complaint narrative:
I write to you with deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the unauthorized inclusion of information in my consumer report, a clear violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b. This letter serves as an official dispute, urging your agency to conduct an immediate and thorough investigation into this serious breach of my rights. 

Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX I am writing to dispute the accuracy of the information contained in my consumer credit report. Upon recent review, I have discovered entries that violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly Section 611, which mandates the maximum possible accuracy of information in a consumer 's file. 

Furthermore, the entries in question were reported without my written permission, contravening the requirements outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) of the FCRA. As such, I request an immediate, comprehensive, and impartial investigation into these entries. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of this investigation, including the original written instructions from me ( Consumer ) with my wet signature. 

Moreover, I am not aware of any legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments, and I affirm that I did not authorize the reporting of such information to your agency. Therefore, in accordance with Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA, I demand a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments, along with written confirmation of the investigation 's completion and details of any actions taken to rectify this matter. 

Additionally, I request documentation, including the periodic statement and tracking number, to prove that each periodic statement was delivered to me at least 21 days before the payment due date, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1666b. 

I request that you provide me with the name and address of the person ( s ) that you contacted to allegedly verify the information that I have rightfully disputed. 

Failure to comply with the legal requirements outlined in this letter will necessitate pursuing all available legal remedies to address this violation of my rights under the FCRA. I trust that your agency will approach this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. 

FCRA Section 607 ( a ) ( 4 ) - Consumer Right to Privacy : You are continuing to report fraudulent accounts on my credit report that do not belong to me, which is a clear infringement upon my privacy rights. As I mentioned before, I have the sole authority to determine what information should be considered private. I insist that my hard inquiries and account information not be shared on my credit report. 

FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) - Misleading False Reporting : The information you continue to report falsely suggests that I applied for multiple inquiries and accounts, when in reality, these were the result of a scammer\ 's actions. This misleading and unverified reporting is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and its fairness requirements. 

FCRA Section 616 - Civil Liability for Willful Noncompliance : Despite my previous dispute, you have failed to verify the accuracy of the credit information you have accepted, thereby demonstrating willful noncompliance. This non-compliance is subject to civil liability of up to {$1000.00} per violation. 

FCRA Section 603 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) - Obligations with Respect to Disclosures of Personal Information : You have yet to fulfill your obligation to disclose my right to opt out of sharing my personal information. This omission is deceptive and a direct violation of my consumer rights. 

FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) - Furnishing Deceptive Forms : Despite my previous dispute, you persist in furnishing inaccurate inquiries and accounts without proper validation, which potentially violates Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( GAAP ). Reporting such deceptive information is unacceptable In addition to the aforementioned violations, I remind you of the previous violations outlined in my initial dispute letter, including the violation of Debt Collection Practices Act, Identity Theft Laws, Acquiring Location Information Regulations, Timely Payments Regulations, Finance Charge Determination, and Credit Report Permissible Purposes. These violations require your immediate attention and resolution. 

In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D, please provide the names and business addresses of each individual with whom you verified the above, so that I may follow up.
