Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am filing this complaint because TransUnion/Equifax/Experian are reporting multiple inaccurate and unverifiable items on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ). These items are harming my credit, reputation, and financial opportunities. 

XXXX. Incorrect Names, Employers, and Contact Information My legal name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Please remove all AKAs, former names, and variations associated with my profile. 

Remove all cell phone numbers that were never authorized. 

Remove employer listing XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is false, misleading, and unverifiable. 

XXXX.

Reporting a dismissed/withdrawn bankruptcy as if it is valid is a violation of FCRA because it misrepresents the disposition. It is not verifiable as an actual bankruptcy event impacting creditors. I demand immediate deletion.

XXXX. Fraudulent / Inaccurate Chime Financial Account Chime Financial Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX This account is fraudulent and inaccurate. I have never opened, contracted, or authorized any account with XXXX XXXX. Under FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), the credit reporting agency must ensure maximum accuracy, and under 1681i, unverifiable accounts must be deleted. 

I demand that this XXXX XXXX account be permanently removed from my credit report as it is causing ongoing harm and does not belong to me. 
Legal Basis Under the FCRA, Section 604 & 607, credit reporting agencies may only report accurate and verifiable information. If an account or record can not be fully verified, it must be deleted. Continuing to report unverifiable, fraudulent, or inaccurate information is a violation of 1681i ( failure to reinvestigate ) and 1681e ( b ) ( failure to maintain reasonable procedures ).
