XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject XXXX Formal Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Credit Reporting Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally request your assistance in addressing an ongoing issue with the credit reporting agencies. Despite my repeated disputes and submissions of supporting documentation, inaccurate information continues to appear on my credit reports. These inaccuracies are significantly affecting my creditworthiness, causing harm to my financial standing and opportunities. 
I believe the credit reporting agencies have failed to properly investigate and address my disputes in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I have made every effort to correct this misinformation, yet the errors persist. The continued reporting of inaccurate information has led to financial and emotional distress, as it impacts my ability to obtain fair credit terms and other essential financial opportunities. 
I am requesting the following actions : 1. Immediate investigation into my claims by the CFPB.

2. Removal, deletion, and blocking of all inaccurate information from my credit reports.

3. Monetary relief for the financial and emotional harm caused by the negligent reporting practices. 
I have attached copies of my correspondence with the credit reporting agencies, as well as any supporting documents relevant to this matter. Please let me know if additional information is required to assist with your investigation.
