Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Address XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Last 4 of SSN:XXXX XXXX Date:XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Dear Sir/Madam , Re : Formal Dispute Request Immediate Action Required I am writing to formally dispute certain information currently listed on my credit report, which I believe is both inaccurate and in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I demand that you investigate this matter and remove the incorrect data in accordance with the law. 

Specifically, I am referring to the practices of false inquiries and the re-insertion of incorrect information, both of which I believe are in direct violation of my consumer protections under the FCRA, as well as the recent findings of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) in its lawsuit against Experian. 

In the CFPBs suit, the agency identified significant issues with Experians handling of credit report information, including the illegal re-insertion of previously disputed or removed data and the reporting of erroneous inquiries. As a result, I am concerned that these practices have negatively impacted my credit score and overall financial standing, despite my efforts to maintain accurate and fair credit reporting. 

False Inquiries I have noticed that inaccurate inquiries have been reported on my credit file, which I did not authorize. These inquiries, which are improperly listed as hard pulls, have negatively impacted my credit score and financial outlook. Under the FCRA, consumer consent is required before an inquiry can be made, and failure to obtain such consent constitutes a violation of my rights. 

Re-insertion of Incorrect Information Additionally, I have observed that incorrect or previously disputed negative information has been re-inserted into my credit report after having been removed. This is in clear violation of 1681i of the FCRA, which mandates that any information removed from a consumers report due to a dispute can not be re-inserted without proper verification and substantiation. 

These violations have resulted in direct harm to my creditworthiness and have interfered with my ability to make informed financial decisions. As a consumer, I am entitled to accurate and complete information on my credit report, and I demand that Experian immediately correct the record. 

I request the following : Immediate Investigation Conduct a thorough and fair investigation into the inaccuracies I have cited, with specific reference to the false inquiries and the re-insertion of incorrect information. 
Proof of Justification Provide clear and tangible evidence that justifies the actions taken by Experian with respect to these entries, including but not limited to documentation of consumer consent for the reported inquiries and verification of the re-insertion of disputed information. 
Removal of Inaccurate Data Remove all inaccurate inquiries and any erroneous information from my credit report immediately. 
Written Confirmation Provide written confirmation of the actions taken, including the specific steps youve taken to rectify these violations. 
Please be advised that if these inaccuracies are not corrected within the 30-day time frame mandated by the FCRA, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter further, including seeking legal recourse, filing complaints with the CFPB, and exploring additional remedies available under the law. 

I expect prompt and accurate action regarding this dispute, and I look forward to your immediate response. 

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] [ XX/XX/year> ] [ XXXX ] XXXX XXXX
