Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against the major credit reporting agenciesTransUnion LLC, Equifax Information Services LLC, and Experianfor their repeated failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act ( FDUTPA ). Despite my dispute letters dated XX/XX/year>, each bureau has failed to provide full verification of disputed accounts or remove fraudulent and unauthorized information from my credit file after the mandated XXXX period. 

I. Background and Summary of Dispute I have disputed several accounts that I contend are fraudulent and/or inaccurately reported. In my communications with each bureau, I demanded full verification, including original contracts, complete investigation reports, source identification, and a documented chain of custody for any debts allegedly transferred. Instead, each bureau has verified these items without substantiating documentation or has refused to remove them. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) and FDUTPA, these items should have been deleted when proper verification could not be provided. 

XXXX. Disputed Accounts The following accounts are in dispute across XXXX or more bureaus : XXXXXXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Allegation : Fraudulent account in violation of federal and state law.

Take any additional enforcement actions deemed necessary to prevent further violations and safeguard consumer rights. 
I have attached copies of my dispute letters sent to each bureau for your review. I trust the CFPB will take immediate and appropriate action to rectify these egregious violations.

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
