Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am submitting this formal complaint regarding the continued reporting of inaccurate, unauthorized, and unverifiable data on my credit reports, which violates multiple sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Despite my previous efforts to dispute and correct this information, the Credit Reporting Agencies and furnishers have failed to resolve the issues. I have outlined each item below with the corresponding issue, relevant laws violated, and how they are causing harm in my life : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Wrong Address Issue : I never lived at this address and it does not belong on my credit profile.

Law : FCRA 1681e ( b ) CRA must ensure maximum possible accuracy.

Law : FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ), FDCPA 809 Story : I never received communication from the creditor before the charge-off. I suspect identity confusion or account error. This entry is severely damaging and must be removed.

Law : FCRA 1681e ( b ) Story : I informed the lender of financial difficulty and was assured Id be given relief. Late marks were still added, violating our agreement and fair reporting standards. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Collection * * Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX | High Balance : {$1700.00} Issue : Collection agency never contacted me or validated the debt.

Law : FDCPA 809 ( a ), FCRA 1681s-2 Story : I do not recognize this account. I was never notified, and no documentation has been sent. It appears to be an error or a case of mistaken identity.

Law : FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ) Story : I never received a letter or call. No prior debt existed under this name. I believe this is identity confusion or incorrect file merging.

Law : FDCPA 809 ( b ), FCRA 1681e ( b ) Story : I requested proof of debt and never received any. I dispute ownership and demand full deletion from my report. 
XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/XXXX Issue : Unauthorized credit pull. 
Law : FCRA 604 Story : I never contacted or applied with XXXX XXXX. This is either fraud or internal error and should be corrected. 
XXXX XXXX Date : XX/XX/XXXX Issue : Unconsented inquiry lowering my score. 
Law : FCRA 1681b Story : I have no relationship with XXXX. I did not authorize this pull, and it affects my credit evaluation unfairly. 
These combined violations have deeply impacted my life. I have been denied credit cards, auto financing, and home loan refinancing. My ability to provide for my family and secure housing has been compromised. Im mentally and emotionally stressed due to continued inaction from data furnishers and CRAs even after multiple disputes. 
I am requesting the CFPB take urgent action by investigating the listed institutions for FCRA and FDCPA violations. I also request the deletion or correction of the above items and that all furnishers be compelled to provide documentation verifying the accuracy of what theyre reporting. I am ready to provide ID, utility bills, and any other evidence necessary to prove my claims.
