Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against this agency for consistently reporting inaccurate information on my credit report, despite my repeated efforts to dispute and rectify the errors. 

This blatant disregard for my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) has caused significant financial and emotional distress, and I kindly request your intervention to resolve this matter appropriately. 

I submitted a dispute regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report. According to the FCRA, the agency is obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation into the disputed information within 30 days. However, despite this requirement, They failed to conduct a proper investigation and instead verified the inaccurate information without providing any valid evidence. This violation of my FCRA rights has resulted in ongoing damage to my creditworthiness and has hindered my ability to secure favorable lending terms. 

I kindly request that the CFPB instruct this agency to conduct a thorough and reasonable investigation into the disputed information and provide me with a written response within the stipulated time frame. Additionally, I request that the inaccurate information be promptly removed from my credit report due to my rights being violated and sending multiple disputes in the past with no resolution.

Specifically, I question the accuracy of the reported information, including but not limited to the case number, filing date, court jurisdiction, and its association with my accounts. Additionally, I have not received any concrete evidence or documentation to validate this bankruptcy records legitimacy or its proper reporting.

If the credit bureau or data furnisher can not substantiate the details of this bankruptcy with verifiable documentation directly from the original source, I ask that this entry be removed from my credit report promptly.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Attempt to Collect a XXXX XXXX Dear XXXX Bank XXXX Department XXXX XXXX am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding XXXX Banks attempt to collect a debt that is barred by XXXX XXXX XXXX limitations under 42 Pa. C.S. 5525. 

Specifically, I was contacted regarding an alleged debt, account number [ XXXX ], that is over XXXX years old in XXXX of XXXX. According to Pennsylvania law, the statute of limitations for pursuing legal action to collect this type of debt is XXXX years from the date of default or last payment. Since this period has elapsed, XXXX Bank is legally prohibited from initiating or collecting on such debt. 

This attempt to collect is not only a violation of state law but may also constitute a violation of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which prohibits the use of deceptive or unfair practices in the collection of debts. It is illegal to misrepresent the legal enforceability of a debt. 

Resolution Requested : 1. Cease Collection Attempts : I request that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  immediately cease all attempts to collect this time-barred debt. 
XXXX. Provide Confirmation : Please provide written confirmation within 30 days that no further collection efforts will be made regarding this debt.

3. Review Policies : I urge you to review your internal policies and ensure compliance with both Pennsylvania law and the FDCPA regarding the collection of time-barred debts. 
XXXX. Cease Reporting : I DEMAND you cease all third party non affiliate reporting to any and all non affiliates such as XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX etc. 

If XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank continues to pursue this debt, I will have no choice but to file a formal complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney Generals Office, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), and any other relevant regulatory agencies. I also reserve the right to pursue legal remedies, including filing suit for violations of the FDCPA.
