Complaint narrative:
I discovered material FCRA violations on account ending in XXXX across all three credit bureaus showing systematic furnishing failures by the creditor. 

VIOLATION 1 - ILLEGAL RE-AGING : The account shows a Date Last Active of XX/XX/XXXX, yet the creditor continued furnishing updates to XXXX  as recently as XX/XX/XXXX - eight months after the account became inactive. This constitutes illegal re-aging that artificially extends the seven-year reporting period and violates 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

VIOLATION 2 - MATERIAL INCONSISTENCIES IN HIGH CREDIT : XXXX  reports high credit of {$21000.00}. XXXX  reports high credit of {$21000.00}. Equifax reports high credit of {$19000.00}. A {$2000.00} discrepancy is material and affects credit utilization calculations. The creditor can not be reporting accurately to all three bureaus when the amounts differ by over {$2000.00}. 

VIOLATION XXXX - INCONSISTENT DATE OPENED : XXXX  shows the account opened XX/XX/XXXX. Both XXXX  and Equifax show XX/XX/XXXX. These dates can not both be accurate. Inconsistent dates affect credit age calculations and scoring.

VIOLATION 4 - CONTRADICTORY PAYMENT HISTORIES : XXXX  reports a XXXX delinquency for XX/XX/XXXX and a 120-day delinquency for XX/XX/XXXX. Equifax reports the account as current with " OK '' status for these exact same months. These payment histories directly contradict each other. At least one bureau is reporting completely false information, yet the creditor furnished both versions. 

VIOLATION XXXX - INCONSISTENT DATES OF LAST PAYMENT : All three bureaus show different " Last Reported '' dates : XXXX  shows XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX  shows XX/XX/XXXX, and Equifax shows XX/XX/XXXX. The creditor 's failure to furnish consistent data demonstrates systematic reporting failures. 

ADDITIONAL CONCERN : My credit file contains 16 confirmed data breach notifications. Given the multiple inconsistencies on this account, I have reason to believe this tradeline may be connected to identity theft or fraudulent reporting.

ACTIONS TAKEN : I have disputed these inconsistencies with all three credit bureaus. I am filing this complaint because the creditor has violated their duty under FCRA Section 1681s-2 ( a ) to furnish accurate information. The multiple contradictions prove they are not maintaining reasonable procedures to assure accuracy.

RESOLUTION REQUESTED : The creditor must either provide documentation proving which data is accurate and correct all errors across all three bureaus, or delete this tradeline entirely. Given the magnitude of inconsistencies, deletion is the appropriate remedy. The creditor should immediately cease furnishing on this account until they can verify accurate information.

These violations have damaged my credit score and ability to obtain credit. I request immediate investigation under FCRA Section 1681s-2 ( b ) and correction or deletion within 30 days as required by law.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
