Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Washington, XXXX XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Reporting by Barclays Bank Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the information being reported on my credit file regarding my account with Barclays Bank. Despite my efforts to address and resolve this matter, Barclays Bank has failed to provide verifiable evidence supporting the reported late payments, leaving me with incorrect and harmful information on my credit report. 

I initiated a formal dispute with Barclays Bank and requested a thorough investigation of the late payments being reported. However, during phone conversations with their representatives, I was informed that they are unable to verify the accuracy of the reported late payments. Barclays Bank admitted that their only available records are limited to bank statements, and they do not have the necessary resources to conduct a proper investigation. This failure to verify the accuracy of the reported information is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Under the FCRA, any information that can not be verified must be promptly removed from my credit report. Despite their inability to verify the information, Barclays Bank continues to furnish incorrect data to the credit reporting agencies. This has caused significant harm to my financial standing and has severely impacted my ability to : Obtain a job, including certain federal positions that require stringent background checks.
