Pursuant to 15 U.S. code 1681b ( 2 ). A consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report with the written instructions of the consumer to who it relates.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
This is a formal notice regarding significant bank errors in billing and reporting that are adversely affecting my credit profile. Pursuant to the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ), creditors are legally obligated to report payment and credit information with strict accuracy. However, multiple discrepancies have been identified, including payments that were made on time but not properly recorded, as well as miscalculations in the reported amounts. 

Furthermore, I did not receive the mandatory XXXX notice prior to the payment due date, rendering any reported late payments invalid under federal law. These reporting errors constitute a clear violation of legal requirements and are causing unjust damage to my creditworthiness.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally demand the immediate removal of several unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. These inquiries were made without my consent and have directly harmed both my credit and credit score. 

I previously contacted your agency regarding this issue and was assured by a representative that the unauthorized inquiries would be removed. To date, this has not been done. This failure to follow through is unacceptable and deeply concerning, as it raises the possibility of identity theft. 

The ongoing presence of these inquiries continues to cause me emotional and financial distress.
