Summary of Issues : I disputed these accounts with XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion, but several accounts were either not deleted, or they were incorrectly verified with insufficient evidence. 
I have not received clear validation for some of the disputed accounts, and many items on my credit reports contain incorrect, unverifiable, and outdated information. 
These accounts have caused me financial harm and have impacted my ability to obtain credit at fair terms. 
Requested Action : I am requesting that the CFPB intervene in this matter to ensure that the credit reporting agencies follow the legal requirements under the FCRA and remove these inaccurate and unverifiable accounts from my credit reports. If these items are not corrected, I would like to pursue further legal action. 

Supporting Documentation : I have attached copies of the dispute letters I sent to XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion, as well as any responses I received. Additionally, I have attached any supporting documents that help show the inaccuracies of the accounts in dispute. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I request that the CFPB assist me in resolving these disputes and ensuring that my credit reports reflect accurate information in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, NY XXXX Phone : ( XXXX ) XXXX SSN : XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX
