Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, Georgia XXXX SS # : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Urgent Correction Required : Addressing FCRA Violations in Credit Report Dear Equifax, I am writing urgently to address glaring inconsistencies discovered in my credit report, directly violating the guidelines set forth in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Recent findings have revealed multiple errors within my credit profile, indicating a troubling disregard for FCRA regulations within your agency. 

To clarify : The Fair Credit Reporting Act is a critical federal statute governing the collection and reporting of consumer credit information. It mandates the accurate acquisition, retention, and dissemination of a consumer 's credit data, prioritizing transparent information sharing with consumers. 

Instances of FCRA violations identified include : Creditors providing inaccurate financial data to reporting agencies. 
Reporting agencies merging individuals ' information based on name or social security number similarities. 
Agencies neglecting prescribed protocols for handling disputes. 
My rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act encompass : The right to verify the accuracy of my report, especially for employment purposes. 
Notification if information in my file has been used against me in credit applications or other transactions. 
The ability to dispute and demand bureaus rectify and remove incomplete, erroneous, or unverifiable data. 
Removal of outdated negative information ( typically after seven years, or ten in cases of bankruptcy ). 
I formally request the immediate removal of the listed items below. These items flagrantly breach FCRA standards due to inaccuracies, lack of verifiability, and persistent invalidation. Their presence has caused considerable distress, as evidenced by my recent denial for extended credita direct consequence of errors originating from your agency. 
XXXX. The following personal information is incorrect Account Number : Previous Address ( es ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - This address belongs to someone else. Delete it from my report immediately. 

XXXX. The following personal information is incorrect Account Number : Previous Address ( es ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - This address belongs to someone else. Delete it from my report immediately. 

XXXX. I was never late on this account. Equifax already removed all the late payments on this account. 
XXXX Account Number : XXXX I demand XXXX and XXXX remove late payments on this account I expect expedited action to rectify these violations within the mandated timeframe set by the FCRA. Failure to comply will regrettably leave me no choice but to pursue legal action to ensure my rights under the FCRA are duly honored. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I attached the PDF file below containing the list of items that have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.

Credit Bureau stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify or delete accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : 1. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate.

2. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services.

3. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and procedures outlined in the FCRA.

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : 1. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report.

2. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes.

In response to a letter dated XXXX XXXX, alleging a debt and providing until XX/XX/XXXX for validation, I sent a letter by certified mail requesting validation on XX/XX/2023, within the specified timeframe.
