Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccuracies in my consumer credit report that have caused significant XXXX and harm to my financial well-being. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumer reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of information provided in consumer credit reports. However, despite my repeated requests for reinvestigation of an account that is inaccurate and was already in prior litigation, the information remains incorrect and has now resulted in incorrect debts being reflected. 

The inaccuracies in my credit report have led to difficulties in tenant screenings, affected applications for housing and employment and have caused me significant XXXX. 

Furthermore, the original creditor waived their right to any months covered by assistance programs such as XXXX XXXX ( appealed and approved as a reason to file the order to show cause ), HUD XXXX XXXX XXXX  Approved with the intent of participating and accepting funds ), and the XXXX XXXX XXXX, which were pending at the time which was later approved. 
This debt is completely invalid and was not awarded in judicial court as a debt, further exacerbating the harm caused to myself and my husband XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX intent to proceed to classify this as a collection debt to an unknown third party filed interstate after waiving funds in judicial due process shows the validity of this debt. Unfair misrepresentation of consumer indebtedness furnishing inaccurate information to a third party not affiliated in the ligation proceedings when this should have been a confidential matter also is a violation of confidentiality and privacy rights to parties involved. 
Information is completely falsified with the intent to do harm to the parties involved, Further solidifies the complaint filed with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX  in regards to unfair and unjust treatment. Evaluation of furnishing an invalid debt facilitated with complete malicious intent causing adverse actions in experiencing denial of new credits, cancellation of finance account to receive payment for earnings from employment further causing inability to work and earn a living wage. Adversely affecting prospective promotional opportunities and denial of further employment. 
Increasing unfavorable change in terms with existing accounts terms due to increased false debt. Denial of insurance policy. Debt to income Ratio falsely perceived and diminishes ability to purchasing permanent housing. 
I believe that these inaccuracies in my credit report are in violation of several laws, including 15 U.S. Code 1692 ( b ), 15 U.S. Code 1681c, 15 U.S. Code 1681i7, and 15 U.S. Code 1681i5. Violating XXXX XXXX XXXX. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter promptly and take appropriate action to help rectify.
