Complaint narrative:
This version is slightly more formal and structured for clarity. I am writing to formally dispute several inaccuracies on my credit report that persist despite prior verification efforts, which indicated the information was accurate and verified report # XXXX. 

These discrepancies pertain specifically to my XXXX XXXX account ( # XXXX ). 
1. **Past Due Balance on Charge-Off : ** The report shows a past due balance of {$3700.00} on an account that was charged off. It is unclear how this balance remains after the charge-off occurred. I request clarification on this issue? 
2. **Inconsistent Charge-off : ** The account was originally flagged for charge-off by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX showing on your report, under the payment summary it shows a charge-off starting XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I request clarification on this issue? However, this account is listed as a charge-off under your Grid Code : L. According to XXXX glossary ( BCI ), a charge-off does not have a recurring charge off code in the payment status of your glossary, yet my report shows recurring charge-offs each month. This does not align with XXXX guidelines and must be addressed. Given these inconsistencies, I request a full validation of this account, including a copy of the originally signed contract bearing my signature. Additionally, I would like to remind you that, as of XX/XX/XXXX, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Summary of Consumer Rights. Consumer reporting agencies are now required to provide consumers with this updated summary whenever there is a request for disclosure of their consumer file. Please ensure this is included in your response. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a thorough investigation and the deletion of these inaccuracies. 

Proof of documentation is uploaded.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request the removal of an inaccurate entry from my ChexSystems report regarding a XXXX account. The report incorrectly indicates that the account was charged off, which is not accurate. The account had a brief overdraft of {$300.00}, which was promptly paid in full. 

Account Details : Bank Name : XXXX XXXX Issue : My ChexSystems report inaccurately shows a charge-off status for this account. This is incorrect as the overdraft was settled in full shortly after it occurred. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) mandates that all information reported must be accurate and reflect the true status of the account. 

Consumer Protection Law : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my report. Additionally, Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) requires that information furnishers maintain accurate records, and any inaccuracies must be corrected or removed. 

Request : Given that this account was not charged off and was fully paid, I request that ChexSystems remove this erroneous charge-off entry from my report. The incorrect information is adversely affecting my credit profile and needs to be rectified.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "
