Complaint narrative:
[ XXXX XXXX XXXX  ] [ XXXX XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] [ XXXX  ] Experian Dispute Department [ XXXX XXXX  Experian ] Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Information on My Credit Report Dear Experian Dispute Department, I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report that remain unresolved despite my prior attempts to address these errors. These inaccuracies pertain to an account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ). 

The account details are as follows : Account Number : XXXX Balance Reported : {$19000.00} Original Balance : {$18000.00} Inaccuracies Identified Balance Discrepancy : The current balance reported as {$19000.00} does not align with the original balance of {$18000.00}. There is no explanation of fees, interest, or payments that justify this increase, making the reported balance inaccurate.

Timeline Inconsistency : The status of this account was last updated in XX/XX/XXXX ; however, the balance update is incorrectly listed as of XX/XX/XXXX, which is not possible. This conflicting timeline raises concerns about the validity and accuracy of the information provided.

Reference to CFPB Lawsuit I would like to bring your attention to the lawsuit filed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against Experian for similar violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including the failure to ensure the accuracy of consumer credit reports and to properly investigate disputes. The continued reporting of this inaccurate information on my credit report reflects these same systemic issues and is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Action Requested I respectfully request that you : Investigate the account for accuracy and provide evidence supporting the reported balance and timeline.

Correct or remove the inaccurate information from my credit report if verification can not be provided.

Under the FCRA, you are required to complete your investigation and respond to me within 30 days. I have enclosed supporting documentation, including a copy of the disputed report and any additional evidence, for your review.

Importance of Compliance I trust that Experian will act in good faith to address these inaccuracies in accordance with federal regulations. If the inaccuracies are not resolved promptly, I may escalate this matter by filing a complaint with the CFPB or pursuing additional remedies available to me.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and the timely correction of my credit report. 

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX XXXX  ] [ XXXX  XXXX XXXX ]
