Complaint narrative:
This is my formal complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding multiple inaccurate, unverified, and unauthorized items being reported on my credit file in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 602, 604, 607 ( b ), 609 ( a ), 611 ( a ), and 623 ( a ). I have disputed these items directly with the credit reporting agencies, but they have failed to properly investigate, verify, or correct the inaccurate information. These inaccurate accounts and inquiries are severely harming my credit score, causing denial of credit, financial hardship, emotional stress, and negatively impacting my ability to secure stable housing and financial opportunities. I am requesting your immediate assistance to enforce compliance and require the credit bureaus and data furnishers to provide full documentation or delete any unverifiable items.

I attempted to resolve all of these issues directly with the credit bureaus, but they failed to follow proper FCRA procedures. They have not provided : Original signed contracts Proof of debt ownership Itemized statements Notice of validation Permissible purpose documentation Proper investigation results These failures violate FCRA 602 ( a ), 607 ( b ), 609 ( a ) ( 1 ), 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Because these items are unverified, inaccurate, and unauthorized, I am requesting the CFPB to : 1. Order a full reinvestigation 2. Require furnisher ( s ) to provide complete proof 3. Delete all unverifiable accounts and inquiries 4. Ensure compliance with FCRA accuracy and verification standards I am asking for your immediate intervention to help resolve these ongoing reporting violations, as they are causing continuous harm and preventing me from maintaining stable financial standing.
