Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, this complaint is being filed because my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) have been violated by the inaccurate, incomplete, and unverified information being reported and retained in my credit file. The reporting agencies and furnishers have continuously failed to maintain maximum possible accuracy under FCRA 602 ( A ) and 607 ( B ), and failed to properly investigate under 611 ( A ). I am requesting immediate reinvestigation and removal of all the following accounts and inquiries that are being falsely or inaccurately reported against me. These accounts are causing harm to my creditworthiness and reputation, and have created unnecessary financial hardship. 

ADDRESSES XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX These addresses are inaccurate and were never associated with my verified residency. Reporting multiple unverified addresses violates FCRA Section 607 ( B ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy. The reporting of false addresses creates confusion and exposes me to identity risk and potential mixed-file issues, indicating negligence in data verification. 

ACCOUNTS XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} Chargeoff This account shows a charge-off balance that conflicts with my financial records. No signed agreement, payment record, or proof of ownership has been provided. Under FCRA Section 611, unverifiable or inconsistent data must be deleted immediately. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Owed : {$2200.00} Chargeoff This account is listed inaccurately with a false balance and status. Reporting unverifiable debt information violates FCRA Section 607 ( B ) and 611 ( a ). The bureau must verify its accuracy through the original creditor ; failure to do so requires immediate deletion. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} Late Payment This account reports late activity even though the account was in good standing. Without verifiable payment history from the furnisher, this is an FCRA Section 607 ( B ) violation. The bureau must confirm authenticity or remove the mark to ensure compliance.

The bureaus and furnishers are required by law to ensure that every piece of information reported is accurate, complete, and fully verifiable. FCRA 602 ( A ) clearly establishes the necessity of fair and equitable credit reporting for the purpose of accuracy, relevance, and proper use of consumer information. Failure to comply may lead to legal enforcement and civil liability under FCRA 616 and 617. I demand full compliance with these laws and deletion of all the inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable data mentioned above. I expect a full reinvestigation and written confirmation of deletion within the 30-day period required under FCRA 611 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
