Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: It has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX XXXX has reported a charged off account on my consumer report that I did not give written or authorized permission for them to report.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I am being denied for credit due to my credit scores appearing nearly XXXX points less on XXXX in my letter denying credit. My scores are not all in agreement with the information reporting and the scores creating major conflict within my financial strength and capabilities. My score across all the bureaus are all wildly different. Equifax is XXXX while XXXX is XXXX. I want my reports all to reflect accurately and precisely so that I dont have to spend hours upon hours losing sleep figuring out what is correct and incorrect. XXXX of XXXX is ideal for me and I would like the other bureaus to mirror the information. I further ask that when reporting my score to a potential creditor that it be send accurately and in real time. The denial letter from XXXX XXXX services via XXXX is specifically targeted. The letter said my score was XXXX! A far leap from XXXX. Please make sure an accurate credit score is being provided. This is damaging me financially, its crippling.
