Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX, am filing this complaint due to inaccurate and incomplete information currently being reported on my credit file. Despite submitting previous disputes to both the debt collector and the credit bureau, no corrective action has been taken, and the account remains uncorrected and improperly reported. 

Specifically, the furnishers of the listed accounts and inquiries have failed to comply with their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s2 ( a ) ( 3 ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 8 ). Over 35 days have passed since my initial dispute, and the relevant account still does not reflect a disputed status, which is a serious violation of federal law.

15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 8 ) : Prohibits a debt collector from communicating credit information known to be disputed without disclosing that it is disputed. 

The continued reporting of this account and related inquiries without reflecting its disputed status is a direct violation of both statutes above. 

Supporting Documentation I have enclosed : A copy of my original dispute submitted over 35 days ago A recent credit report clearly showing that the account is not marked as disputed This inaction harms my reputation and misleads creditors or employers who rely on the accuracy of consumer reports. 

Requested Action I am requesting the following relief : Immediate correction of my credit report to reflect that the disputed item is under dispute, in accordance with federal law.

Removal of all inaccurate personal information and unverifiable inquiries.

An updated copy of my corrected credit file.
