Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Information on Credit Report - FCRA Section 611 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute inaccurate information listed on my credit report provided by Transunion. Pursuant to my rights under Section 611 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to have any inaccuracies promptly investigated and corrected. # XXXX After reviewing my credit report dated XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I have identified discrepancies that necessitate your immediate attention : Last Reported Date : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  TransUnion and XXXX XXXX XXXX  The difference in the " Last Reported '' date between XXXX and the other two bureaus may impact how the information is perceived by potential creditors. XXXX shows an earlier date which could imply less recent account activity compared to what TransUnion and XXXX report. 
XXXX : " Charged off account. Accounts closed by credit grantor. '' TransUnion : " Charged off as bad debt. Dispute resolved ; reported by grantor '' XXXX : " Account was in dispute- now resolved - reported by subscriber. '' The variation in comments can lead to misunderstandings about the status of the debt. XXXX comment implies the account was closed by the credit grantor, which could be interpreted differently than simply being charged off as bad debt as indicated by TransUnion and XXXX. 
Date Last Active & Date of Last Payment : XXXX : Last Active XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, Last Payment : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  TransUnion and XXXX : Last Active : XX/XX/XXXX, Last Payment : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX reports significantly earlier dates for the last active and last payment dates. This discrepancy affects the calculation of how long the account will stay on the credit report, potentially prolonging the negative impact on the credit score with XXXX. 
Account Number : Ensure the account number is consistent across all credit bureau reports. Any discrepancy here could indicate a reporting error or a mix-up between accounts. 
Last Reported Date : XXXX shows a last reported date of XX/XX/XXXX. 
TransUnion and XXXX show XX/XX/XXXXXXXX 
Date Opened : All bureaus should reflect the same opening date for accuracy.
