Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this formal complaint regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, which are seriously affecting my financial wellbeing. I have identified inaccurate personal information and multiple account reporting errors that I have attempted to resolve directly with the credit reporting agencies and furnishers, but have seen no resolution. These errors are not only unjustified but are also in direct violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681.

Despite my disputes, these addresses have remained. I demand their immediate removal.

XXXX. XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX High Balance : {$100.00} Issue : Collection Account This is an unknown collection account. I was never informed or sent any validation of this debt. I suspect this may be a case of mistaken identity or outdated debt.
