Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Against Experian for Non-Compliance with Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Experian for failing to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681. Despite multiple requests, Experian has failed to remove several unauthorized and unverifiable hard inquiries from my credit report. 

Here is a summary of my efforts to resolve this matter : First Dispute Sent : XX/XX/year>, to Experian requesting removal of unauthorized hard inquiries ( see attached copy of the letter ) ( XXXX ). 

Second Dispute Sent : XX/XX/year>, as a follow-up to the initial dispute, again requesting removal of the same unverified inquiries ( see attached copy of the letter ) ( XXXX ). 

Third Dispute Sent : XX/XX/year>, reiterating the request and emphasizing the continued violations of federal law ( see attached copy of the letter ) ( XXXX ). 
Despite these letters, Experian has continued to report the unauthorized and unverifiable inquiries on my credit report. Under the FCRA, Experian is required to remove any information that can not be verified. Specifically, per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), any disputed information that can not be verified must be promptly deleted from the consumers file. 

The following items are among the inquiries that have remained on my credit report, despite being unauthorized and unverifiable : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX... ( and several others ) In addition to the removal of these inquiries, I requested that Experian provide documentation used to verify these inquiries, including the name, business, address, and telephone number of the person or entity contacted during their investigation, as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ). Experian has failed to provide this information within the 15-day timeframe stipulated by law.

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter further and take the necessary actions to ensure Experian complies with federal regulations. I also ask for the immediate removal of the disputed items from my credit report and for compensation for the harm caused by Experians negligence in handling my disputes. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact me if additional information or documentation is needed. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX.
