Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries currently listed on my credit report. I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
This prolonged issue has caused ongoing financial strain and has negatively affected both my credit standing and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been not only frustrating but also mentally and emotionally exhausting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history. This includes the timely correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore urging your office to take immediate and appropriate action to update or delete the reported late payment entries in question.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX RE : Unauthorized Credit Inquiry Demand for Removal To Whom It May Concern : I am disputing the hard credit inquiry XXXX XXXX XXXX placed on my credit report dated XX/XX/year>2025, in connection with Application ID XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. 

While I submitted a credit application to XXXX  XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I did not submit an application to XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor did I authorize the dealership to forward my application to you. At no point did I provide XXXX XXXX XXXX with express written consent to access my consumer report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), a permissible purpose to obtain a consumer report exists only when : The consumer has initiated a transaction directly with the entity obtaining the report, or The consumer has provided express written authorization to that specific entity.

Neither condition applies here. The dealerships possession of my application does not grant XXXX XXXX XXXX a blanket authorization to access my credit. Without direct consent, your inquiry was made without permissible purpose under 1681b ( f ).

If you believe you have my written authorization, please provide a copy within 15 days. If you can not produce such proof, I demand that you immediately request removal of this inquiry from all credit reporting agencies.

Failure to remove this unauthorized inquiry will result in further action, including additional CFPB complaints, notification to my state attorney general, and consideration of civil remedies under 1681n and 1681o.
