Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I pulled My Equifax report and noticed that it isn't in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act. The list of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.

On your report the company name is XXXX XXXX and on XXXX its listed under XXXX XXXX, same open Date however your balance amount says {$5100.00}, amount past due {$14000.00} and the charge off amount is {$5000.00}. Those 3 amounts don't match also your account history states that my last payment was on XX/XX/XXXX however your account history states that I stopped paying on XX/XX/XXXX on XXXX there's a balance of {$14000.00} and it states that I stopped paying XX/XX/XXXX. This account is fraudulent and needs to be removed at once. 

2. Account name : XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$2200.00} written off. According to your records my last payment was on XX/XX/XXXX however the date of 1st delinquency was on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX yrs later, that makes no sense.

XXXX XXXX XXXX opened on XX/XX/XXXX states last payment was on XX/XX/XXXX, 1st delinquency XX/XX/XXXX, 1st delinquency reported XX/XX/XXXX 3 yrs later {$4300.00} charged off. 

These accounts are inaccurate and hurting my credit, I need them removed A.S.A.P.
