Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint because of inaccurate, inconsistent, and unverifiable information being reported by all three major credit reporting agencies : Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. I have attempted multiple disputes directly with the bureaus with no resolution, and I am now requesting CFPB intervention. 
Below is a detailed summary of the errors and violations across the credit bureaus : 1. Inaccurate and Inconsistent Account Reporting XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX Reported inconsistently across Experian and TransUnion with differing account numbers, closure dates ( TransUnion : XX/XX/XXXX vs. Experian : XX/XX/XXXX ), and creditor type.

Experian shows unresolved dispute status while TransUnion does not.

This violates FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) and 604 ( a ) ( 3 ), which require a permissible purpose and consumers written consent.
