XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Equifax Transunion XXXX XXXX FORMAL DEMAND FOR CORRECTION OF INACCURATE REPORTING VIOLATIONS OF FCRA & XXXX ( Account No. XXXX Auto Loan Closed XX/XX/XXXX ) To Whom It May Concern : This letter serves as a formal demand under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), 15 U.S.C. 1666b, concerning Experians continued misreporting of a fully paid and closed auto loan in my consumer credit file. 

SUMMARY OF ISSUES : Despite final payment on XX/XX/XXXX, and account closure in XX/XX/XXXX, Experian continues to misreport this account with inaccurate and misleading remarks, including : Completed investigation of FCRA dispute consumer disagrees Such language falsely implies an unresolved or disputed debt and directly violates both the spirit and letter of FCRA 1681e ( b ) and 1681i ( a ), which require : Maximum possible accuracy in reporting ; Proper reinvestigation of disputed items ( 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) ; Removal or correction of unverifiable/inaccurate data ( 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ) ; Elimination of misleading dispute language when the dispute is complete or lacks proper verification.

Yet over two years later, Experian still displays incomplete or false information.
