Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am requesting that the CFPB investigate and assist in removing an inaccurately reported account from my credit report. The account in question is a credit card reported as a charge-off by XXXX under account number XXXX I previously disputed this account directly with the credit bureau and/or the creditor , but the investigation was not properly conducted as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). No meaningful verification was provided, and the derogatory information continues to harm my credit profile. 

The reported status is inaccurate and misleading. I am providing documentation to support my claim, and I believe this account should be removed entirely due to : Failure to conduct a reasonable investigation ( FCRA XXXX ) Continued reporting of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( FCRA XXXXB if related to identity theft, or XXXX if the furnisher is in violation ) Emotional and financial harm caused by the inaccurate reporting I respectfully request the CFPB review this issue, hold the data furnisher and credit bureaus accountable, and ensure that this account is deleted from my credit report. 

In addition to the concerns mentioned, I have also identified discrepancies in the way this account is being reported across the major credit bureaus. Specifically, the date opened " date last active '', " last reported date '', " High Credit, '' " Credit Limit '', " Date of last payment '' listed by Experian does not match the date reported by TransUnion, or Equifax, which raises serious concerns about the accuracy and integrity of the information being furnished. 

TransUnion states in their investigation that the Date Opened is XX/XX/XXXX. Experian states in their investigation that the Date opened is XX/XX/XXXX. Equifax states date opened is XX/XX/XXXX High Credit : TransUnion Experian Equifax {$2200.00} {$0.00} {$2200.00} Credit Limit : TransUnion Experian Equifax {$1800.00} {$1800.00} {$0.00} Last Reported : TransUnion Experian Equifax XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Date of Last Active : TransUnion Experian Equifax XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Date of Last Payment : TransUnion Experian Equifax XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX According to " Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly sections XXXX ( b ) and XXXX, consumer reporting agencies and furnishers are legally required to ensure that all information reported is accurate, complete, and verifiable. Reporting inconsistent or unverifiable account detailssuch as differing date opened entries across bureausviolates this obligation. '' This inconsistency further demonstrates that the account is being reported with inaccurate and potentially unverifiable information. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section XXXX ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. These conflicting dates call that into question. 

Given the failure to provide consistent, accurate, and verifiable information, I respectfully request that this account be deleted from my credit report in its entirety. 

Due to the failure to perform a thorough and lawful investigation, I am requesting that this account be deleted from my credit report entirely. Continued reporting of this inaccurate and damaging information is causing significant harm to my credit profile and financial opportunities. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and ensure that the reporting agencies and data furnisher comply with their legal obligations under federal law. 

Thank you for your time and assistance. I am available for any further clarification or documentation needed. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
