Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX for their failure to remove old and outdated information from my credit reports. Despite multiple attempts to rectify the situation by providing accurate and up-to-date personal information, the credit reporting agencies have not taken the necessary steps to correct the errors. 

The inaccurate reporting of various addresses, employers, and phone numbers on my credit reports is not only misleading but also damaging to my creditworthiness. This misinformation could have serious consequences when dealing with potential lenders or employers who review my credit history. The presence of multiple incorrect addresses and employers creates a false impression of instability and unreliable financial behavior, which does not accurately reflect my true financial situation. 

I have enclosed supporting documents such as my Driver 's License, XXXX XXXX XXXX and a recent Utility Bill to verify my identity and provide evidence of the inaccuracies in my credit reports. Despite my repeated attempts to address these issues directly with the credit reporting agencies, the outdated information remains on my reports, affecting my financial standing. 

I kindly request the CFPB to investigate this matter and ensure that XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act by promptly removing the incorrect and outdated information from my credit reports. Your intervention is crucial to safeguarding my rights as a consumer and ensuring the accuracy of the information used by creditors and employers to make important financial decisions
