Complaint narrative:
I am filing this CFPB complaint due to multiple inaccurate, unverifiable, and potentially fraudulent entries on my credit report. Despite my previous dispute attempts, the following wrong addresses, false accounts, incorrect inquiries, and unlawful reporting practices remain unresolved. These are in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I am experiencing severe credit harm, including loan denials, interest rate hikes, and reputational damage. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Issue : Wrong address. I have never lived at this location or had any connection to this property.

Law : FCRA 1681e ( b ) requires consumer reporting agencies to assure maximum possible accuracy.

Story : I have never been to this address, never applied for credit or opened any account from there. This likely entered my report through file-mixing or identity confusion. This misinformation is misleading lenders and hurting my credit opportunities. Its continued presence after prior disputes is negligent and harmful. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Issue : Completely unfamiliar address. I never resided there.

Law : FCRA 1681i ( a ) requires reinvestigation and deletion of unverifiable information.

Story : I suspect this address is a result of someone with a similar name or an unauthorized use of my information. This is impacting my housing applications and personal identification history. Please provide original documentation or delete. 
XXXX XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$230.00} Issue : Late payment inaccurately reported. 
Law : FCRA 1681s-2 prohibits furnishing inaccurate or outdated information.

Story : This payment was not late as alleged. The delay was due to a bank processing error which was resolved within the grace period. This wrongful reporting has impacted my credit score and loan eligibility. I request immediate correction or deletion. 
XXXX  XXXX XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00} Issue : Incorrect charge-off. 
Law : FCRA 1681e ( b ) requires accuracy and verification.

Story : This account was closed in good standing with a {$0.00} balance. No charge-off ever happened. This is a serious reporting error and must be removed. I request detailed records if you claim otherwise. 
XXXX  XXXX XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00} Issue : Falsely reported as charged-off.

Law : FCRA 1681i ( a ) bureau must investigate disputes within 30 days.

Story : This is duplicate misreporting by XXXX. I never defaulted on this account. I believe this is either intentional over-reporting or systemic error, which continues to damage my financial profile. 
XXXX  XXXX XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$320.00} Issue : Fraudulent charge-off account. 
Law : FDCPA 809 requires proper validation of debt before collection/reporting.

Story : This account was the result of unauthorized use. I previously disputed this and received no response. This is clear identity fraud. Reporting a charged-off account based on fraudulent activity is a breach of my rights and must be removed. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$1600.00} Issue : Incorrectly charged-off despite dispute and fraud alert. 
Law : FCRA 1681g and 1681s-2 requires full disclosure and correction of errors.

Story : I had placed a fraud alert before this account was charged off. XXXX XXXX failed to validate or provide explanation. This false charge-off continues to affect my ability to obtain housing and credit. I demand full removal. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Issue : Unauthorized hard inquiry. 
Law : FCRA 604 prohibits inquiries without valid purpose or consent.

Story : This inquiry was not initiated by me. I never applied for any product with XXXX XXXX XXXX  on this date. The inquiry is illegal and is contributing to unnecessary score reduction. I demand its removal.

Requested Resolution : 1. Permanent removal of all the above inaccurate addresses.

2. Correction or deletion of the listed accounts with late payments and charge-offs.

3. Removal of the unauthorized hard inquiries listed above.

4. Documentation and evidence from all furnishers and credit bureaus regarding how they verified this data.

5. Full compliance with FCRA timelines and legal responsibilities.

If these items are not resolved promptly, I will be seeking legal assistance and may pursue compensation for damages under FCRA 1681n and 1681o.
