Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally demand that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) take immediate and decisive enforcement action against Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for their flagrant and ongoing violations of federal consumer protection laws. These agencies have engaged in willful noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, and the Metro 2 reporting guidelines , thereby causing substantial harm to me as a consumer. 

Despite my formal dispute letters sent on XX/XX/year>, these credit reporting agencies have failed to correct fraudulent accounts, unauthorized inquiries, and personal information inaccuracies in my credit file. Their failure to investigate, correct, and ensure accuracy of reported data constitutes deliberate violations of multiple statutes, warranting immediate regulatory enforcement and legal repercussions.
