Complaint narrative:
In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

XXXX XXXX Date : XXXX To : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, PA XXXX Subject : Request for Removal of Paid Account under FCRA and TILA Account Name : XXXX, XXXX ( Revolving ) Account Number : [ Insert Account Number ] Balance : {$780.00} ( Paid in Full ) Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the reporting of the above-referenced account on my credit reports across all major credit bureaus. The account with XXXX XXXX XXXX has been paid in full, yet the account is not being reported accurately by all bureaus, which is negatively affecting my credit profile. 

Legal Grounds for Dispute : Inaccurate Reporting - FCRA Violation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit bureaus are required to maintain accurate and fair reporting of credit information. Despite this, the account with XXXX XXXX XXXX is still showing discrepancies across different credit bureaus. As the debt has been settled and there are inconsistencies in the reporting, this violates my rights under the FCRA, and I demand the account be removed or updated immediately. 

Creditor Definition - TILA Violation ( 15 U.S.C. 1602 ( i ) ) : Under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), a " creditor '' is defined as an entity that extends consumer credit and to whom the debt is payable. Since XXXX XXXX XXXX is no longer a creditor in relation to this account and the balance has been fully paid, the account should either reflect its paid status or be removed entirely. 

Actions Requested : Immediate Investigation and Removal : I request an investigation into this account as per FCRA regulations. Given the inconsistencies and the fact that the debt has been paid in full, I am requesting the complete removal of the account from my credit reports across all bureaus. 

Correction or Deletion : If the inaccuracies can not be verified, I request that this account be deleted from my reports entirely or updated to reflect its " Paid in Full '' status across all bureaus. 

Written Confirmation : Please provide written confirmation that this account has been removed or updated across XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX once the investigation is complete. 

I expect this matter to be resolved within the 30-day period as outlined under FCRA regulations . If no action is taken within this period, I will pursue further actions to enforce my rights under the law. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response confirming the correction or removal of this account. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.
