My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am submitting this CFPB complaint to contest the fraudulent items that are listed on my credit report.

Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could furnish me with an updated copy of my credit report once the fraudulent items have been successfully removed.

I am writing to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding inaccurate / fraudulent account information on my credit report despite multiple attempts to correct the information. The credit reporting agencies and the creditor have failed to provide any documentation or evidence of the accuracy of their reporting, yet they continue to report the inaccurate information on my credit report.I have sent multiple letters to the credit reporting agencies disputing the accuracy of the late payments, citing laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Credit Billing Act. In response, the credit reporting agencies claimed to have verified the accuracy of their reporting, without providing any evidence or documentation to support their claims.I have also sent a letter to the creditor disputing ownership of the account, and demanding the immediate removal of the account from all credit reporting agencies, as well as provided documentation such as FTC Report, police report, as allowable by law to the creditor and credit reporting agencies regarding this errors. The creditor has failed to respond to my request.Despite my efforts, the inaccurate/fraudulent account information remains on my credit report, damaging my credit score and making it difficult for me to obtain credit or loans.
