Consumer Narrative
XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX To Whom it may concern, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The accounts in question are listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX Bank XXXX Bank XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the monthly charge-off results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, significantly harming my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper. I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and confirm these corrections for me. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX. XXXX
