Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because multiple inaccurate, fraudulent, and unverified items are appearing on my credit report. These items include unauthorized hard inquiries, unverified collection accounts, and chargeoff accounts that do not belong to me. The credit bureaus and furnishers have failed to properly investigate under FCRA 611, failed to maintain accuracy under 607 ( b ), and failed to provide validation under 609 and 623. I am requesting CFPB intervention to force the credit bureaus and data furnishers to remove all items that can not be fully verified with original signed documentation. I am suffering financial harm due to these errors, including denials of credit, increased interest rates, and reputational damage.
