Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my deep concern and formally dispute the accuracy of specific information reported on my consumer credit report. This report was lawfully obtained by me under the rights granted by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The FCRA mandates that all items on a consumers credit report must be reported with 100 % accuracy, be 100 % verifiable, and must be 100 % complete. Additionally, these items must only be reported during the allowable reporting periods as outlined in the Act.

The items listed below fail to meet these standards : XXXX - XXXX - The Equifax data breach messed with my info, and now I'm seeing some sketchy stuff on my credit report. These claims aren't verified, and by the rules, you can't report them as legit without proof. I want evidence you're? following compliance standards for this account. The FTC is looking into this, so take those unverified claims off my report.
