Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX Re : Request for Removal of Charge-Off Account Account : XX/XX/XXXX Account Number : [ XXXX ] Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the information being reported on my credit report under the account listed above. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681 et seq., I am exercising my rights under federal law to challenge the validity and completeness of this account 's reporting.

Under Section 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies are obligated to provide a detailed description of the investigation they conduct within 15 days of receiving a consumer 's dispute. Therefore, I request that you initiate a thorough investigation into this account 's history and provide me with the following information : 1. The Original Creditor 's Verification : Please verify the accuracy of the reported information with the original creditor, including the date of first delinquency and the accuracy of the balance owed. 
2. The Date of First Delinquency : According to my records, the date of first delinquency and subsequent charge-off may have been reported inaccurately. Please confirm this date, as it is critical in determining the reporting period.

3. Verification of Account Status : The current status of this account appears inconsistent across the various credit reporting agencies. Specifically : o XXXX reports the account as Charged off as bad debt with a derogatory rating and mentions Dispute resolved ; customer disagrees. 
o XXXX reports Subscriber reports dispute resolved - consumer disagrees, noting an unpaid balance reported as a loss. 
o Equifax lists the account as Amount in high credit original charge-off amount and mentions Consumer disputes after resolution.

4. Inconsistent Payment Histories : The payment history reported by XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax varies significantly, reflecting discrepancies that cast doubt on the accuracy of the account information. 
Given these inconsistencies, I believe that this charge-off account may not be reported accurately or in full compliance with the FCRA. Therefore, I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit report immediately, or that you provide conclusive evidence to support the continued reporting of this account.

If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this account, I expect you to remove it from my credit report within the legally mandated 30-day period. Additionally, please provide me with a copy of the detailed investigation report as required by Section 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving confirmation of your receipt of this dispute and the results of your investigation. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/year> SSN : XXXX

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
