Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX-VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account.

This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out because theres an account showing up on my credit report that does not belong to me. This account appears to be the result of mixed or merged credit information, and it is very clear that this account is tied to someone elses identitynot mine. 

I want to make this absolutely clear : I have no association whatsoever with the account in question. I did not open it, I have no connection to the person who did, and I should not be held responsible for their financial activity. Somehow, my credit file has been inaccurately combined with another persons information, and this is now negatively impacting my credit profilethrough no fault of my own. 

This is not just a mistake ; its a serious error that violates the accuracy standards required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under the law, you are obligated to ensure that every item reported under my name is 100 % accurate and verifiably connected to me. In this case, that standard is not being met.
