Consumer Complaint: I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: Dear CFPB Agency, It's quite a funny and frustrating experience that I have with the consumer reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX Equifax ), because when I first reported these inaccurate accounts to them, the XXXX ( XXXX ) of them bureaus have different reports and definitions of each account. The other one will declare that the account is current and the other will declare it Late or Missed payments. I disputed their reports because I did not remember having that account in the past and now, Equifax has changed their information to XXXX XXXX, from being current in XXXX switching to Late status in XXXX. If they claimed that they're reporting accuracy on my files, why do they have to switch and change information after I provided them the corrections and disputed the item? They seemed not to be communicating with one another and not getting the correct information to one creditor, because they are reportingdifferent information. There also reported Collection accounts that I did not remember acquiring such alleged debts. They can't even validate the accuracy of it. I have never signed to this company either. So, I'm pondering on how they obtained this data and where did they get this. Sometimes I'm receiving notification that someone has run an inquiry on my account without my approval. This unfair practice makes me feel frustrated and upset. please help me delete these inaccuracies they are reporting. Thank you.
