Complaint narrative:
Complaint Against TransUnion and Experian for Violation of Federal Consumer Laws Dear CFPB Representative, I am submitting this formal complaint to bring to your attention multiple violations of federal consumer protection laws by the credit reporting agencies TransUnion and Experian. These agencies have continued to report, validate, and maintain accounts, inquiries, and charge-offs on my credit report that are inaccurate, unverifiable, and do not comply with federal standards regarding the use of consumer data. 

Pursuant to the * * Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) * * ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ), the following provisions apply : * * * 15 U.S. Code 1681b * * Permissible purposes of consumer reports. This section restricts when and how credit reporting agencies may provide consumer information. The use of my personal information to validate inquiries and accounts not initiated or authorized by me constitutes a violation of this statute.

* * * 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) * * Accuracy of report. This provision mandates that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

* * * 15 U.S. Code 1681i * * Procedure in case of disputed accuracy. Under this section, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when a consumer disputes the completeness or accuracy of information on their report.

* * * 15 U.S. Code 1681c * * Reporting of obsolete information. This section limits how long negative information like charge-offs and inquiries can be reported.

* * * 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) * * Responsibilities of furnishers of information to provide accurate data to credit reporting agencies.

Despite my formal disputes and requests for verification, both TransUnion and Experian have failed to adequately validate the accounts and inquiries in question. It is my right under the FCRA and * * Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) * * to challenge unverifiable data and to have it removed when proper verification can not be provided.
