Complaint narrative:
Failure to Comply with Cease and Desist Letter Under 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( c ) of the FDCPA I am submitting this complaint because I sent a cease and desist letter to [ Debt Collector/Agency Name ] under 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( c ) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), requesting that all communications regarding disputed accounts cease. Despite this, the accounts in question are still being reported on my credit report, which I believe violates my rights under the FDCPA and possibly the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The accounts are inaccurate and should not be included on my credit report. I have taken the following actions : Sent the cease and desist letter on XXXX via certified mail to ensure receipt. 
Included specific disputes about the accounts and provided all necessary supporting documentation. 
To date, these accounts remain on my credit report, which has caused continued harm to my credit standing and financial well-being. I believe this is a violation of both my right to have accurate credit reporting and to limit communications about disputed debts. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure the collector complies with the FDCPA and that the inaccurate accounts are promptly removed from my credit report. 

Thank you for your assistance. 

Additional Information : Debt Collector/Agency Name : XXXX XXXX

Dear Consumer, Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for its repeated failure to remove inaccurate account information from my credit report following two reinvestigations, which is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 16811 ( 5 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Account Information : Creditor Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge Off : XX/XX/year> Amount : {$5200.00} Despite providing clear evidence of the inaccuracies in the above-referenced account and requesting its removal from my credit report, TransUnion has failed to comply with the law and has retained the inaccurate account information.
