Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Investigation and Removal of Incorrect Derogatory Collection Entry To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute an inaccurate and unjust derogatory collection entry on my credit report, which has negatively impacted my creditworthiness across multiple credit inquiries. 

In 2020, a collection record was erroneously added by XXXX ( or their assigned collection agency ) claiming an unpaid balance of {$39.00} for an internet service. However, this entry is incorrect for the following reasons : Lack of Proper Notification : After relocating to a new address, I was never contacted by XXXX via phone, mail, or email regarding any outstanding dues before the account was sent to collections. I would have promptly resolved a legitimate {$39.00} balance had I been properly notified.

Suspicious Collection Attempt : The first communication I received was from an unknown collection agency, which raised red flags due to its unprofessional and suspicious nature. Without proper validation of the debt, I disregarded the callonly to later discover the unjust damage to my credit report. 

No Opportunity to Dispute or Resolve : At no point was I given a fair chance to verify or dispute this debt before it was reported to credit bureaus, which I believe violates my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Given the above, I request that the CFPB : Investigate this erroneous collection entry. 

XXXX XXXX and the associated collection agency to provide validation of the debt ( as none was ever furnished ). 

Ensure the immediate removal of this entry from my credit reports at all three bureaus ( Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion ). 
Confirm in writing that my credit profile reflects this correction.

This incorrect reporting has unfairly lowered my credit score, affecting my ability to secure loans, housing, and other financial opportunities. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request a resolution within the XXXX investigation window mandated by the FCRA.
