Complaint narrative:
This correspondence constitutes a formal dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. I am requesting immediate reinvestigation and corrective action regarding multiple unauthorized accounts and materially inaccurate personal identifiers currently appearing in my consumer credit file. These items have been reported without my consent, and their continued presence constitutes clear violations of federal law.

The following accounts have been furnished to the consumer reporting agencies without my knowledge, authorization, or written instructions : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report under specific circumstances with the consumers written instructions. No such consent was provided in any of the above cases. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ), furnishers are prohibited from reporting information they knowor have reasonable cause to believeis inaccurate. These accounts must be removed unless independently verified with legal documentation.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ), Congress has affirmed the importance of maintaining consumer privacy and fairness in the handling of credit information. The unauthorized reporting of the above accounts represents a violation of my privacy rights as established by this statute.

The following addresses and phone numbers currently appear in my credit file and are inaccurate. I have no connection to these identifiers, and they must be deleted in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which mandates consumer reporting agencies to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy : Erroneous Addresses : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX The presence of these identifiers contributes to the misreporting of accounts and may enable further fraudulent activity under my name.

r Reporting Inaccurate Information Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this formal complaint and dispute to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau concerning the actions of Portfolio Recovery Associates, a debt collector that is reporting inaccurate information on my credit file in apparent violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681i.

Portfolio Recovery Associates is currently reporting an account on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate and/or unverifiable. I have previously disputed this account with the consumer reporting agencies and directly with Portfolio Recovery, yet the item remains on my credit file without any meaningful investigation or correction, as required by law. 

Account Information : Debt Collector : Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC Original Creditor : Never provided Account Number : Never Provided Nature of the Dispute : The account is inaccurately reported in the following ways : The furnisher has failed to provide documentation verifying the debt. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, consumer reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation within 30 days of a dispute. If the information can not be verified, it must be deleted. Furthermore, if a furnisher such as Portfolio Recovery fails to provide adequate verification or continues to report inaccurate information, they may also be in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2. 

Requested Action : I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and ensure that Portfolio Recovery Associates : Fully complies with the FCRA by providing documented verification of the debt, or Immediately deletes or corrects the inaccurate information if it can not be verified, and Ceases further collection or reporting activities if the debt is unsubstantiated. 

I respectfully ask for the CFPBs assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring my rights under federal law are upheld.

Complaint narrative:
DEAR CFPB TEAM, Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payments on Credit Report Complaint Details : I am submitting this complaint regarding inaccurate late payments that are reported on my credit file maintained by Equifax. I believe these late payments are erroneous and do not accurately reflect my payment history.

Nature of the Complaint : 1. Inaccurate Reporting : The late payments listed on my credit report are inaccurate. I have consistently made my payments on time, as I have been enrolled in autopay for all my accounts. 
2. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The inaccurate reporting of these late payments violates my rights under the FCRA ( 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ), as they misrepresent my creditworthiness.

3. Potential Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The reporting of false late payments may also constitute a violation of the FDCPA, which protects consumers from misrepresentation regarding their accounts.

4. Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : I assert that the reporting practices violate the TILA, which mandates accurate reporting of credit information.

Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files.

Furthermore, under the FCRA, articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) outline the civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, respectively. These provisions provide for damages, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages, for failure to comply with the Act 's requirements.

Requested Resolution : I request that Equifax conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the inaccurate late payments from my credit report.

I ask that all such entries be updated to reflect my true payment history of 100 % on-time payments.

I expect to receive written documentation confirming the removal of these entries within 30 days of this complaint submission. Failure to resolve this issue may lead to further action to protect my rights as a consumer.

Attachments : ID, SSN, PROOF OF ADDRESS, LETTER TO THE AGENCY. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding my auto loan for my brand new financed XXXX  Kia XXXX XXXX, which currently has fewer than XXXX miles. 

Since purchasing this vehicle, I have experienced significant mechanical problems, specifically with a faulty XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. These issues should be fully covered under the vehicles warranty, but despite XXXX repeated attempts to have the dealership and manufacturer resolve the problem, my car remains defective and unreliable. 

Because of this ongoing issue, I am unable to safely operate the vehicle and it does not meet the standards promised at the time of purchase. I do not believe it is fair or reasonable for me to continue making payments on a vehicle that is not in proper working condition and is still under warranty.
