Complaint narrative:
I submit this formal complaint against XXXX and LexisNexis for their continued and willful violations of federal consumer protection laws under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). These violations include the unlawful reinsertion of previously deleted accounts without proper notification, failure to ensure maximum possible accuracy, failure to investigate disputes within the mandated timeframe, failure to provide verification details upon request, and failure to validate debt prior to reporting. 

Background & Violations My credit reports contain fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries that the Bureaus have failed to properly investigate and address despite multiple disputes and supporting documentation. Additionally, these Bureaus have removed fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries only to reinsert them without proper validation, constituting an egregious violation of : 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( a ) and ( b ) 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ) : Failure to investigate disputes within the required XXXXday period 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( B ) : Failure to provide notice and certification before reinserting previously deleted information 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( b ) : Failure to ensure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) : Failure to provide verification of debt, including original contracts and signatures, upon request XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( B ) ( XXXX ) : Failure to provide specific details on dispute findings Related Lawsuits & CFPB Actions The CFPB has actively taken enforcement actions against major credit bureaus for similar violations. These precedents reinforce the validity of my complaint : XXXX Lawsuit ( XX/XX/XXXX ) Filed by the CFPB for failing to investigate disputes and allowing inaccurate data to reappear on reports. 

XXXX  Settlement ( XX/XX/XXXX ) {$15.00} XXXX settlement over inaccuracies in tenant screening and credit reports. 

XXXX Lawsuit ( XX/XX/XXXX ) Repeated violations of the FCRA and deceptive reporting practices. 

These actions underscore the CFPBs commitment to enforcing the FCRA and ensuring consumer reporting agencies uphold their obligations. My case mirrors these past violations, and I urge the CFPB to take similar enforcement actions against XXXX and LexisNexis.

XXXX ( XXXX ) Conclusion The continued noncompliance by XXXX and LexisNexis has caused significant financial harm and distress. The reinsertion of fraudulent accounts and inquiries without proper validation exacerbates these violations. Given the CFPBs history of legal action against credit bureaus for similar misconduct, I urge immediate enforcement action to : Ensure compliance with federal law Provide appropriate remedies under 15 U.S.C. XXXX and XXXX for willful and negligent violations Your intervention is necessary to ensure these Bureaus are held accountable and that my credit report is permanently corrected.
