1. Wrong Addresses Being Reported Without Authorization ( FCRA 605 ( b ), 602 ( A ) ) The following addresses have been reported on my credit file without my knowledge, authorization, or connection. These addresses are inaccurate and must be removed immediately as they violate my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX These addresses are not connected to me, and their presence on my credit report raises serious concerns about identity confusion or misattributed data, which is expressly prohibited under FCRA 602 ( A ) Accuracy and Fairness of Credit Reporting.
