Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint concerning persistent inaccuracies and procedural deficiencies in the handling of my credit report by multiple reporting agencies. Upon reviewing my credit report in XX/XX/year>, I identified several discrepancies that misrepresent my financial behavior and creditworthiness. 

Identified Accounts with Discrepancies : 1. XXXX XXXX [ Account Number : XXXX ], 2. XXXX XXXX [ Account Number : XXXX ] **, 3. XXXX XXXX [ Account Number : XXXX ] **. 

Despite notifying the concerned agencies and requesting a thorough reinvestigation, the responses I received assert that all information is complete and accurate. This conclusion is demonstrably false and contradicts the evidence I have attached with this letter. 

Legal Grounds for the Complaint : 1. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Requirements : The FCRA mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of consumer reports ( 15 USC 1681e ( b ) ). 
2. Duty of Furnishers of Information : Under 15 USC 1681s-2, furnishers are prohibited from reporting information they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. 
3. Obligations Upon Dispute : As per 15 USC 1681i, if a disputed item of information is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable, it must be promptly deleted or corrected by the consumer reporting agency, which then must notify the furnisher of the change. 
Issues Encountered : 1. Inadequate Investigation : The agencies have failed to perform a proper reinvestigation as mandated by 15 USC 1681i. The evidence I submitted, which highlights discrepancies, was overlooked or ignored. 
2. Lack of Communication : Contrary to 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ), I was not provided a detailed description of the reinvestigation process within the stipulated 15-day period following my request. 

Request for Action : I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intervene to ensure that these inaccuracies are addressed by having the disputed accounts deleted from my credit report, in accordance with 15 USC 1681i. This action is justified given the failure of the credit reporting agencies to adhere to the statutory requirements regarding the accuracy and verification of reported information. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX.

SHELLPOINT XXXX XXXX previously known as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has requested proof of insurance multiple times. I have responded each time they sent me a request. And I have uploaded the actual policy in PDF format at least twice. In spite of my efforts, the company, on their own, purchased a policy on my behalf and have added {$330.00} each month to my mortgage bill. It was {$400.00} total previously. This unilateral, draconian action has raised my mortgage payment to {$740.00}, which I am struggling to pay.
