Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint against the XXXX credit reporting agencies, XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion, for willful non-compliance in not removing old outdated information from my credit report. This non-compliance is negatively impacting my creditworthiness and causing significant harm to my financial standing. 

This marks the seventh occasion where I have contacted the credit reporting agencies to voice my discontent with the inaccurate personal details they have published. Despite my repeated attempts to rectify the situation, the credit reporting agencies have failed to take appropriate action to remove the outdated information from my credit report. 

I am particularly concerned about the extensive coverage of topics pertaining to my community, which has left me feeling unsettled. The broad scope of information published by the credit reporting agencies has created misrepresentations and misconceptions about my creditworthiness. I believe it is crucial to clarify the genuine advantages and factual changes that I am familiar with, in order to rectify these inaccuracies. 

To ensure the accuracy of my personal information, I would like to provide you with the correct details : Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Address : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/year> Social Security Number : XXXX Employer : XXXX Bank Additionally XXXX XXXX have identified several incorrect addresses and employers that need to be deleted from my credit report : Incorrect Addresses : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Incorrect Employers : XXXX XXXX XXXX I XXXX request that you take immediate action to rectify the errors mentioned above. These inaccuracies are negatively impacting my creditworthiness and could have severe consequences if a prospective employer or financial institution requests a copy of my credit report. I have enclosed copies of my Driver 's License, Social Security XXXX, and a recent Utility Bill to validate my identity and ensure the provision of accurate information. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and your assistance in resolving these issues. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take the necessary steps to hold the credit reporting agencies accountable for their willful non-compliance and ensure the accuracy of my credit report. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this complaint.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) 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. 
So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( XXXX ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "
