Complaint narrative:
RE : Discrepancy in Credit Report Listings XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) I am writing to formally raise a concern regarding a discrepancy in the reporting of my credit account ( # XXXX ) across the three major credit bureaus - TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX. My recent review of my credit reports revealed inconsistent information regarding the open date of this account. 
TransUnion 's report shows an open date of XXXX, while XXXX reports the open date as XX/XX/2023 and XXXX is reporting XX/XX/ also .This inconsistency is concerning and, as per my understanding, violates the principles of accuracy and completeness as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Under 15 USC 1681 ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 
I have previously disputed this information, but the discrepancy was reported as validated and the inaccuracy remains on my credit reports. This is not only misleading but potentially damaging to my credit standing. The FCRA stipulates that all information on credit reports must be accurate and complete, and up-to-date. The current reporting fails to meet these standards.Therefore, I request an immediate deletion of the account. The importance of precise and consistent credit reporting can not be overstated, as it directly impacts my creditworthiness and financial reputation.Please find attached copies of the credit reports from XXXX, TransUnion and XXXX, highlighting the discrepancy for your reference. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. 
I expect a prompt response to this letter, confirming the commencement of the investigation and the actions being taken to rectify this discrepancy. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
