Consumer Complaint: I have carefully reviewed my credit report profile, and I believe that the information reported by your bureau has failed to maintain reasonable procedures to assure the maximum possible accuracy, as mandated by credit reporting laws. The following information requires immediate reinvestigation, as it is entirely inaccurate and incomplete. I respectfully request that you provide proof of the alleged items, including the contract, note, or any other instrument bearing my signature. In the absence of such documentation, I insist that the items be promptly deleted from my credit report to ensure compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681. The inaccurate items in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim. In accordance with FCRA 15 USC 1681, I expect your bureau to take every necessary step to assure the accuracy and correctness of the information reported in my credit profile. Furthermore, I request that corrected credit profiles be supplied to all creditors who have received a copy within the last 6 months, or the last two years for employment purposes.
