Complaint narrative:
Please take note that I continue to unequivocally dispute the remaining items that have yet to be deleted. 

These accounts are inaccurate and incomplete. They are having a MAJOR NEGATIVE IMPACT on me being able to obtain credit right now and that is not acceptable. 

As provided for under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( " FCRA '' ), consider this letter my request that you reinvestigate the following accounts and delete them from my credit report. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX The payment status is incorrect, please delete. 

XXXX XXXX : XXXX The past due amount reported is incorrect, please delete. 

XXXX : XXXX The payment status is incorrect, please delete. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX This account isn't reporting correctly, please delete. 

Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of these collections misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 68 0 2 states ; A financial institution shall not disclose, other than to a consumer reporting agency, an account number or similar form of access number or access code for a credit card account, deposit account, or transaction account of a consumer to any nonaffiliated third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail marketing, or other marketing through electronic mail to the consumer. 

Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : Creditor Name : XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off. 
Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score.

Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ).

Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper. 
I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of inaccurate information on my credit report Account Number : XXXX Credit Bureau : EXPERIAN Account Type : Credit Card Dear Sir/Madam , In accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, 15 U.S.C. 1601 ), I am disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information related to my account with XXXX, which has been marked as " charge-off. '' Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified significant discrepancies between the credit bureaus XXXX, Experian, and XXXX : XXXX : Highest reported balance : {$1200.00} Balance owed : {$0.00} Account rating : " Derogatory '' Account status : Closed, marked as " Collection/Chargeoff. '' Reason for closure : " Canceled by credit grantor. '' Experian : Highest reported balance : {$1200.00} Balance owed : {$0.00} Account rating : " Paid '' Account status : Closed, marked as " Collection/Chargeoff. '' Reason for closure : " Account has been closed due to inactivity. '' XXXX : No information reported. 

These inconsistencies between the credit bureaus, particularly regarding the account rating, account status, and reasons for closure, violate the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), which requires credit reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy in the information they report. XXXX reports the account as derogatory, while Experian shows it as paid. Additionally, the reasons for closure vary, with XXXX reporting it as canceled by the credit grantor and Experian indicating it was closed due to inactivity. XXXX does not report this account at all. 

Under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, 15 U.S.C. 1601 ), I am entitled to clear and accurate information regarding my credit obligations and payment history. These discrepancies negatively affect my credit history and misrepresent my financial standing.

I request that, under the FCRA and TILA, you investigate this dispute and promptly remove the inaccurate information, including the charge-off, from my credit report. The discrepancies between the credit bureaus clearly show that the reported information is not accurate. Please provide me with the results of your investigation and a corrected report as soon as possible. 

For your reference, I have attached copies of my credit reports highlighting these discrepancies. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response.
