RE: NOTICE OF SIMULTANEOUS CFPB COMPLAINT FILING & FINAL DEMAND FOR COMPLIANCE — FCRA 15 U.S.C. § 1681i
To Regulatory Compliance & Executive Appeals at [BUREAU NAME],
I am writing to advise you that I have officially filed a regulatory complaint against [BUREAU NAME] with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and my State Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division due to persistent violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
CFPB Complaint Confirmation / Reference Details: [CUSTOM NOTES]
NARRATIVE OF NON-COMPLIANCE:
Despite receiving my certified dispute letter on [PRIOR LETTER DATE] (Certified Mail # [PRIOR LETTER CERTIFIED NUMBER]), [BUREAU NAME] failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation into the following unverified/inaccurate listing:
Creditor Name: [ACCOUNT CREDITOR NAME]
Account Number: [ACCOUNT ACCOUNT NUMBER MASKED]
Response Summary Received: [PRIOR LETTER RESPONSE SUMMARY]
[BUREAU NAME]'s reliance on automated e-OSCAR verification without inspecting physical documentation violates CFPB Bulletin 2013-09 and 15 U.S.C. § 1681i(a)(4).
I demand that [BUREAU NAME] immediately resolve this regulatory dispute by permanently deleting the non-compliant items from my consumer file and updating the CFPB Portal case record accordingly within 15 days.
Sincerely,
____________________________________
