XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Attn : Consumer Complaint Database XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Subject : Request for Removal of Inaccurate Collection Accounts and Charge-Offs Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to bring to your attention the inaccurate reporting of collection accounts and charge-offs on my credit report. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am formally requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate and intervene to ensure the removal of these inaccuracies from my credit report. 
According to my recent credit report, there are several collection accounts and charge-offs that are inaccurately reported. These erroneous entries are damaging my creditworthiness and may hinder my ability to access credit, obtain favorable interest rates, and secure housing or employment opportunities. 
I am aware that under the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and have these errors promptly corrected or removed. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies and data furnishers must conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of information on their credit report. These are the accounts below. 
XXXX, XXXX  XXXX XXXX date XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, I have attached copies of my credit report highlighting the inaccuracies in question. I request that the CFPB investigate these discrepancies and take appropriate action to ensure these inaccuracies errors promptly corrected or removed from my credit report. These are the accounts below. 
XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I trust that the CFPB will handle this matter with the seriousness it deserves and take swift action to rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report. I appreciate your attention to this issue and look forward to a timely resolution. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The original creditor removed the debit from my account as it was an error and the device was not leased to me. XXXX allowed someone to charge a phone to my account without my consent. I communicated this fraud action with XXXX  and it was resolved. Now XXXX years later a new debit collection was added to my credit report. This charge is not mine. I disputed this account with JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEMS and asked them to provide accurate information about this account, reach out to the original company and request documents that were generated which resolved this fraudulent charge. They have inaccurate dates listed on this collection which appears to reflect charges from this year on my credit report. They also did not provide the documents that I requested. This should not be on my credit because as stated above XXXX originally resolved this fraudulent charge. I have not been a XXXX  customer for over XXXX years and no new charges should be listed on my credit report. This is unlawful that a credit company can pick up a debit from another company and come after me, make a negative mark on my credit when the original creditor admitted wrong doing and found me not responsible for the debit. I am requesting that this be removed from my credit report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I am disappointed to have received a credit report that contains inaccurate information about me. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it is my right to dispute any information that I believe to be incorrect. I take this matter very seriously and I am deeply concerned that these false allegations of delinquency and derogatory information could harm my reputation and financial well-being. 

Although I am fighting back with all my strength, I need your cooperation to resolve this issue. I kindly request you to provide evidence that justifies why my accounts are considered to be in a negative state. It is my understanding that any data included in my file must be documented and validated before it can be used by creditors, as mandated by the law. However, it appears that your records are not meeting these standards. 

I feel let down that you are not doing your job properly, and I am concerned about the potential consequences that this could have on my creditworthiness. Therefore, I am giving you 30 days from now to address this matter and provide me with physical proof of your actions and my updated credit report.
