Requested Resolution : I am requesting that the CFPB ensures the credit reporting agencies : 1. Immediately correct the inaccurate reporting by updating the disputed accounts to reflect a balance of {$0.00} and marking them as " Discharged in Bankruptcy. '' 2. Cease the practice of re-aging accounts that were discharged in bankruptcy.

3. Remove all negative reporting related to these accounts that extends beyond the legally allowed reporting period.

4. Provide confirmation of the corrections within the legally required timeframe.

These violations are causing me financial harm and negatively affecting my creditworthiness. I expect swift action from the CFPB to hold the credit bureaus accountable for their failure to comply with the FCRA.

I have attached supporting documentation, including copies of my credit reports highlighting the errors, my bankruptcy discharge documents, and previous dispute correspondence.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please keep me informed of any updates regarding my complaint. I appreciate your prompt action in ensuring that my credit reports are corrected. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
