Complaint narrative:
Reporting on all charges and collections in this credit profile reveals several inaccuracies that need to be addressed. The first issue is that all charge-offs accounts are showing balances, which goes against the fair debt collection practice act that states reporting balances on charge off accounts is illegal. Additionally, the open dates and balances listed for these accounts are also incorrect. It is imperative that these discrepancies be disputed and removed from the credit profile. Furthermore, even though the accounts have been charged off, they are still showing past due payments, which is not accurate. It is important to dispute and delete this incorrect information. According to the fair debt collection practice act, charge off accounts should not be listed by the original creditor after they have been charged off. It is crucial to dispute and delete any re-aging of these accounts. All charge-offs and collections have been aged, which is also illegal. It is essential to dispute and delete these accounts as well. The inaccuracies in this credit profile need to be addressed for it to reflect a true and fair representation of my credit history.
