Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to formally dispute inaccurate information and unauthorized activities appearing on my credit report. Despite my previous attempts to resolve these errors with the credit reporting agencies and furnishers, the incorrect data remains, causing harm to my credit profile and financial opportunities. I rely on the CFPB to enforce the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and protect consumers from unfair and inaccurate credit reporting practices.
