Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Reporting for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Dear Credit Bureau Representative, I am writing to dispute the inaccurate reporting of my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account as shown on my credit report.

If the errors can not be validated or corrected, I am requesting the deletion of this account. 

Disputed Account Details Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) Account Number : [ XXXX ] Balance : {$0.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Reporting Bureaus : TransUnion XXXX Experian, XXXX Inaccuracies and FCRA Violations 1.

2. Incorrect Credit Limit Reporting XXXX XXXX ) ( Violation of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ) XXXX incorrectly reports a credit limit of {$0.00}, while the correct limit as shown by TransUnion and Experian is {$300.00}. 
Requested Action : Correct the credit limit to reflect {$300.00} or delete the account if verification fails. 
XXXX. Conflicting Comments ( Violation of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ) The comments on the account differ across the bureaus, with TransUnion and Experian stating legally paid in full for less than the full balance, and XXXX stating Settlement accepted and Paid charge-off. These discrepancies cause confusion about the settlement and status of the account. 
Requested Action : Ensure consistent comments across all bureaus or delete the account if accurate reporting can not be verified. 
4. Inconsistent Dates of Last Payment and Last Activity ( Violation of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ) TransUnion and Experian report XX/XX/XXXX as the date of the last payment and activity, while XXXX reports XX/XX/XXXX. The discrepancies must be corrected to ensure accurate reporting.
