Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding multiple furnishers and consumer reporting agencies that are reporting inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable information on my credit reports. The following accounts have been reported in a manner that is directly harmful and in violation of my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 602 ( A ), 607 ( b ), 609, and 611 ( a ).

According to the FCRA, furnishers and credit reporting agencies must report only accurate, complete, and verifiable information. However, the accounts below reflect inconsistent, misleading, and duplicative data that is causing me significant harm.

Furnishers have failed to provide proper documentation to validate the reporting.

Duplicate & Misleading Reporting Multiple accounts from the same creditor ( e.g., XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) are reported with overlapping and inconsistent information, which constitutes duplicate and misleading reporting.

Unlawful Consumer Harm These inaccuracies are severely damaging my credit profile, directly impacting my ability to obtain loans, secure housing, and pursue employment opportunities.

Requested Relief I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to : Require the furnishers and CRAs to fully verify each of the accounts listed above or remove them entirely from my credit reports.

Obtain from the furnishers all signed contracts, payment histories, and account-level documentation as proof of accuracy.

Ensure compliance with FCRA 611 by requiring a written response within 30 days.

If the furnishers can not provide sufficient proof, initiate enforcement actions and penalties against them for violating federal law.

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
