I am listing accounts and inquiries below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of certain collection accounts that have been reported on my credit report. I am invoking my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq. to request the IMMEDIATE REMOVAL of these accounts from my credit file due to the failure of the collection agencies to validate the debt as required by law. 1. Failure to Validate Debt Under the FDCPA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692g, I requested debt validation from the collection agency for these accounts. As of today, I have not received any documentation or evidence that proves I owe the alleged debt or that the collection agency has the legal right to collect on it. Without proper validation of the debt, the collection agency can not legally report this account to the credit bureaus. 2. Inaccurate Reporting under the FCRA Under the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, all information reported to the credit bureaus must be accurate and verifiable. Since the collection agency has failed to provide proof of the debt 's validity, it is my position that this information is inaccurate and should be removed from my credit report. 3. Violation of Consumer Protection Laws By failing to validate the debt within the time frame allowed under the FDCPA, the collection agency has violated my consumer rights. I am requesting that the credit bureaus investigate this matter and remove the collection accounts from my credit report as these debts are unsubstantiated. Action Requested : I request that you immediately investigate the disputed collection accounts in accordance with the FCRA. If the collection agency fails to provide proper validation of the debt, I request that these accounts be permanently removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with written verification of the outcome of your investigation, as required by law. Please be aware that under the FCRA, you are required to complete an investigation within 30 days and provide me with the results in writing. If the collection agencies can not validate the debt or substantiate the accuracy of the reported information, I ask that these collection accounts be REMOVE from my credit file.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain accounts and inquiries reflected on my consumer credit report, as detailed below. These entries are the result of a data breach or fraud, including unauthorized inquiries. I demand verifiable proof of these accounts or inquiries, such as documentation bearing my signature or electronic authorization. 

This letter is being sent directly by me, not through a third party, so I ask that you review it thoroughly. I did not authorize these actions, which constitute a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I have contacted the companies involved and confirmed that these actions were initiated without proper validation or original proof from any reporting party. The accounts and inquiries in question are inaccurate, as I never authorized them. Therefore, they stem from a data breach or the improper reporting of my consumer information by creditors or third-party data furnishers. 

I request immediate action to resolve this matter.
