These inaccuracies could affect the overall reporting and creditworthiness assessment, and I am disputing these inconsistencies. 
XXXX. Date Opened ( Inaccuracies in TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX Reporting ) Relevant Law : Under the FCRA, credit bureaus are required to report accurate information. Specifically, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) states that credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) must follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information. 
Violation : The discrepancy in the date opened is a violation of this requirement. Inconsistent reporting can be misleading and negatively impact credit decisions. 
XXXX. High Credit ( Different Reporting Across Bureaus ) Relevant Law : 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( XXXX ) requires that credit reports accurately reflect credit limits, account balances, and credit amounts. 
Violation : The difference in the high credit amount reported by XXXX versus the other bureaus suggests inaccurate reporting, which violates the FCRAs accuracy standards. 
XXXX. Date Last Active ( Inconsistencies Across Bureaus ) Relevant Law : The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure accuracy in reporting under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The date last active is a critical factor used to calculate the age of debt, which can impact credit score and debt collection statutes. 
Violation : The inconsistent dates last active are a violation of the requirement to maintain accurate and consistent information. 
XXXX. Date of Last Payment ( Different Dates Reported ) Relevant Law : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) also applies here. The date of last payment is a crucial factor for determining payment history, which heavily impacts credit scores. 
Violation : The difference between XXXX reporting and that of TransUnion and XXXX indicates a lack of accuracy. 
XXXX. Comments ( Inconsistent Account Status Information ) Relevant Law : 15 U.S.C. 1681c outlines the types of information that must be reported accurately, including charge-offs, account sales, and transfers. 
Violation : The varying comments between the bureaus, such as account sale details, charge-off information, and transferee details, constitute a violation of the requirement for consistency and accuracy in reporting. 
XXXX. Two-Year Payment History ( Conflicting Statuses Across Bureaus ) Relevant Law : Payment history is one of the most significant aspects of a credit report and is governed by 15 U.S.C. 1681c. Inconsistent reporting can cause misleading information regarding delinquencies, charge-offs, or current status. 
Violation : Reporting differing statuses for the same month and year ( e.g., charge-off vs. " XXXX  '' status ) breaches the FCRAs requirement for accurate and consistent reporting. 
General FCRA Violations : XXXX. Reasonable Procedures for Accuracy ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : Credit reporting agencies must adopt procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information. 
XXXX. Duty to Correct and Update Information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 2 ) ) : Furnishers ( creditors or lenders ) must update and correct inaccurate information they report to the bureaus. 
XXXX. Duty to Conduct a Reasonable Reinvestigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : If a dispute is filed, credit bureaus are required to investigate within 30 days and ensure the information is accurate or remove it.
