Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern I am submitting this formal complaint regarding multiple inaccurate and unverifiable items appearing on my credit report. These items are causing significant harm to my credit reputation and financial standing. Despite not having any knowledge of some accounts and never making late payments on others, these items are being reported incorrectly. I request that the CFPB intervene and ensure a thorough investigation and correction or deletion of these inaccurate entries under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. 
XXXX  Account No : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX High Balance : {$540.00} Issue : Reported as Charged Off. I have no knowledge or record of this account. This reporting is inaccurate, and I request verification of original documentation, signed agreements, and payment history. If such proof can not be provided, this account must be deleted immediately as it violates FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ). 
XXXX Account No : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX High Balance : {$460.00} Issue : Reported as Charged Off. I have no knowledge or documentation proving this account belongs to me. Please provide verifiable evidence of ownership and payment history. Otherwise, it must be deleted for failure to meet verification standards under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 
XXXX XXXX Account No : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX High Balance : {$350.00} Issue : Reported as Late Payment. This information is incorrect. I have always maintained on-time payments with this institution. I am requesting a full reinvestigation and correction of all late payment notations to reflect accurate payment history. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Account No : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX High Balance : {$11000.00} Issue : Reported as Late Payment. This information is inaccurate. I have never been late or missed any payments. I demand correction and verification from the original creditor, as required under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 2 ). 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Account No : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX High Balance : {$630.00} Issue : Reported as Collection. I have no knowledge or record of any account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. No original creditor details or contract have ever been provided. I dispute this entirely and demand removal under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) due to lack of verifiable evidence.

XXXX XXXX XXXX Account No : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX High Balance : {$340.00} Issue : Reported as Collection. This appears to be a duplicate or fraudulent entry by the same collector. I have never had any account with this entity. I demand immediate deletion if no original signed documentation or payment record can be produced. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Account No : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX High Balance : {$820.00} Issue : Reported as Collection. I have never opened or authorized any account with this company. This entry is completely foreign to me. Unless the furnisher can produce valid documentation, including a signed agreement and billing history, it must be deleted immediately as per FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Account No : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX High Balance : {$460.00} Issue : Reported as Collection. This account is unverified and suspiciously similar to multiple other LVNV entries, suggesting duplicate or erroneous reporting. XXXX has failed in the past to validate debts, and I therefore demand deletion for failure to verify. 
XXXX XXXX Account No : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX High Balance : {$300.00} Issue : Reported as Collection. I have no record or recollection of any business or account with XXXX XXXX. This entry is unverified and inaccurate, and no documentation proving its legitimacy has ever been provided to me. If the furnisher can not provide a signed original agreement and complete validation, this item must be deleted immediately per FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ). 
Unauthorized Inquiries : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Each of the inquiries listed above was made without my explicit authorization or any verifiable business relationship. Therefore, these inquiries are in violation of FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) & 604 ( f ).

Legal Basis : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, I am entitled to dispute and request investigation of inaccurate information on my credit report. Reporting false information, failing to investigate, or leaving unverifiable items uncorrected constitutes a violation of federal law.

I request that CFPB investigate all disputed items, ensure their correction or deletion, and provide written confirmation of the resolution.
