Consumer Narrative
I sent this letter XX/XX/XXXX to all the 3 Major Credit Bureaus for investigation on inaccurate data on my credit report. I pointed all the incorrect information from Date of Last Activity, High Balance amount, last payment date etc. all different from each credit bureau. This is impacting me greatly because it is keeping me from making major purchases because of the inaccurate information on my credit file. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX To Whom This May Concern After recently reviewing my credit report I noticed several inconsistencies regarding account ( XXXX/ Acct # XXXX ) on the date of the last activity section. XXXX is reporting a date of last activity XXXX, XXXX is reporting a date of last activity XXXX and Equifax is reporting a date of last activity of XXXX. These accounts appear to be furnished by the same creditor so why is all the provided data different? It is your duty to ensure that all information reported is consistent and most importantly accurate and you have failed to do so. Please DELETE this erroneous item immediately.Below you will find a screenshot of the account.
