Complaint narrative:
This is in response to the correspondence we received via the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the XXXX debt that we acquired in their name, which is now associated with XXXX Reference # XXXX. In an effort to resolve this matter, we have terminated collection efforts on the debt and requested the credit bureaus delete our tradeline. Please allow sufficient time for updates to be reflected on XXXX XXXX XXXX 's credit report. Thank you for the opportunity to respond. 

I am writing to you regarding the recent admission made by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( hereinafter referred to as " XXXX XXXX '' ), a furnisher of information to your agency, regarding their wrongful actions in reporting derogatory information related to a XXXX debt associated with my name, XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

In their correspondence with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, XXXX XXXX confessed to violating my rights by improperly reporting and attempting to collect on this debt. As a result of their admission, they have terminated collection efforts on the debt and have requested the deletion of their tradeline associated with my name from all major credit bureaus, including yours. 

The actions of XXXX XXXX have not only caused me undue stress and inconvenience but have also severely impacted my financial well-being. The derogatory information reported by XXXX XXXX has adversely affected my credit standing, resulting in denied credit applications, higher interest rates, and other financial hardships. 

As a consumer reporting agency, you have a legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the information you report. By failing to properly vet and verify the information provided by XXXX XXXX, you have contributed to the harm inflicted upon me. 

Therefore, I demand the following remedies from your agency : Immediate and permanent deletion of any derogatory information related to the XXXX debt and XXXX XXXX 's collection efforts from my credit report. 
A written confirmation, within 14 days of receipt of this letter, that the requested deletions have been made. 
Compensation in the amount of {$1000.00} for each violation of my rights under the FCRA, totaling [ 5 ] violations. 
An apology letter acknowledging the harm caused by your agency 's failure to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the information reported. 
Failure to comply with these demands within the stipulated timeframe will leave me no choice but to pursue further legal action against your agency for the damages incurred. This may include filing complaints with regulatory authorities and pursuing civil litigation to seek appropriate remedies and compensation.
