Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. A couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
Re : Immediate Removal of Fraudulent Account Notice of Impending Federal Action CFPB Complaint # XXXX To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as final notice before I initiate federal action against your companies for continued, willful violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite repeated disputes, a valid identity theft report, and a CFPB complaint, you continue to report the following fraudulent account on my credit file : Creditor : Milestone Account # : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/year> Amount : {$470.00} CFPB Complaint # : XXXX This is a blatant violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires you to immediately and permanently block information resulting from identity theft once notified and provided with proper documentation.

By knowingly continuing to publish false, damaging information after federal complaint intervention, you are committing willful and reckless violations of the FCRA, specifically under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, 1681e ( b ), 1681n, and 1681o. Your actions demonstrate malicious disregard for consumer rights and open you to significant civil liability, including : Statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} per violation Actual damages for harm caused to my credit reputation and financial standing Punitive damages for willful noncompliance Attorneys fees and legal costs Furthermore, your failure to comply with federal law despite multiple notices will be reported to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my state Attorney General for investigation of systemic FCRA violations. I will also pursue class action involvement on behalf of other consumers experiencing the same unlawful reporting practices by your agencies.

Complaint narrative:
" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!
