Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Reporting Dear XXXX, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of information reported on my credit report regarding an account with [ Creditor 's Name ], account number [ Account Number ]. According to my records, this account is currently being reported as 30 days late for the month XXXX. I believe this information is inaccurate and violates several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Under the FCRA, Section 602 ( a ) ( 1 ), consumers have the right to obtain accurate and complete information in their credit reports. The reporting of a charge-off account as 30 days late when it should not be is a direct violation of this provision. Additionally, Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) states that furnishers of information must not provide inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. As such, I request that you investigate this matter and remove or correct the inaccurate reporting.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 609 ( e ), I am entitled to request additional documentation supporting the accuracy of this reporting. If the creditor can not provide sufficient evidence that the account is accurately reported, I demand that this misinformation be removed from my credit report.

I have attached supporting documents, including my credit report with the disputed account highlighted, and any relevant correspondence with the creditor. I request that you complete your investigation within the 30-day time frame mandated by the FCRA and provide me with a written response detailing the results of your investigation. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

According to my records, this account is currently being reported as 30 days late for the month of XXXX. I believe this information is inaccurate and violates several provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

In addition to the FCRA, the FDCPA prohibits the furnishing of misleading information. Section 807 ( 2 ) ( A ) explicitly states that a debt collector may not indicate that a consumer owes any debt unless such a debt is made known to be owed. The reporting of this account as 30 days late may mislead potential creditors about my creditworthiness.
