Specifically, the law requires the following : 1. Under Section 605 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ), outdated information should be removed from my credit report. This section specifically states that negative information, such as closed accounts that are no longer active or accounts that are outdated, must be removed after a certain period, typically seven years.

2. Under Section 609 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate or outdated information on my credit report. If the information is not verified as accurate or current, it should be removed.

3. Under Section 623 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), creditors and data furnishers are required to report accurate information to credit reporting agencies. This includes removing closed accounts and outdated addresses that are no longer relevant or valid.

These outdated accounts and addresses are causing potential harm to my credit report and credit score. I respectfully request that the CFPB assist me in ensuring these items are properly removed or updated to reflect the accurate and current information.

Please let me know if any further information or documentation is required to facilitate your investigation and resolution of this matter. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this dispute. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
