Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX regarding their handling of a dispute I filed concerning inaccuracies on my credit report. Despite providing comprehensive evidence to support my claim, XXXX has failed to conduct a proper investigation and rectify the errors in my credit file. I filed a dispute with the bureau. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the bureau is required to inform the furnisher of the disputed information and provide them with all relevant documentation. This legal obligation has not been fulfilled, as the furnisher continues to report the inaccurate information without any verification or correction. 

In my previous complaint, I specifically requested identifying information and supporting documentation to justify why the disputed items are still being reported. To date, I have received no such documentation or any satisfactory explanation. 

The continued reporting of inaccurate information on my credit report is causing me significant distress and harm. 

I demand that the credit bureau take action on the following items immediately. 

XXXX XXXX : Account number : XXXX, Monthly payment reported on closed account, There shouldnt be any late payments after close date? Its not possible to be late on a closed account! Creditor stated they would remove this after payment and its still on my credit report. Update this account for inaccuracy. 

XXXX : Account number : XXXX, I already demanded a proof of how you dealt with the information that you indicated in my credit report. Again, you can not prove any of the information mentioned in the past credit report data that I contested with, please remove them on my credit history. ". 

XXXX : Account number : XXXX, There's no way you can update an account that I have no recollection of ever belonging to me. You need to remove this inaccurate information immediately from my credit report.
