Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports

This is a complaint arising under Sections 5 ( a ), 5 ( m ), 13 ( b ), and 16 ( a ) of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( FTC Act ), 15 U.S.C. 45 ( a ), 45 ( m ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 53 ( b ), and 56 ( a ) ; the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681x ; and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692-1692p, to obtain monetary civil penalties, a permanent injunction, restitution, disgorgement, and other equitable relief for the Defendants violations of the FCRA, the FDCPA, and Section 5 of the FTC Act. 
XXXX  provides consumer personal credit reports to regional and national credit grantors, attempting to issue both commercial and consumer credit. XXXX regularly furnishes consumer credit reports to Creditors electronically. XXXX  is an entity who regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to one or more Creditors about its transactions or experiences with its consumers. XXXX  routinely receives complaints from consumers who claim they do not owe the debt. 
In numerous instances, I have notified XXXX  at the address specified for such disputes that XXXX  is reporting inaccurate information concerning my consumer credit. As a victim of identity theft and the XXXX  Data Breach I expect the information in my consumer report to be accurate and my disputes taken seriously. XXXX  has continued to report inaccurate information to the Creditors even after receiving such notice and accompanying proof. In numerous instances, I have disputed the information appearing on my consumer credit report in writing to XXXX  reporting the information. XXXX  receives most notices of disputes from a consumer in electronic format, through automated consumer dispute verification ( ACDV ) forms provided on DEFENDANTS website. 
Pursuant to Section 623 ( b ) ( 1 ) of the FCRA, XXXX, as a furnisher of information to the Creditors, is required to conduct an investigation of the disputed information upon receipt of a notice of dispute from a Consumer. For certain types of disputes, such as those where the consumer claims the account is not his or hers or belongs to someone with a similar name, it is XXXX  s policy and practice only to compare the name, social security number, date of birth, and address in XXXX  s computer database with the information provided on ACDV forms. Where three of the four items  match, XXXX will report to the Consumer that it has verified the information it furnished as accurate. It is XXXX s policy that only after the consumer has alleged the same type of account inaccuracy more than four times will the matter become assigned to a supervisor to do further investigation. Because XXXX  collects accounts that are often old, information in its computer files may not be accurate for a variety of reasons, including incorrect updating of addresses, errors in recording names and information, and problems with the original Creditors records. 
In disputes involving identity theft or fraud allegations, XXXX s policies provide that if the existing account codes and notes in its records do not contain any reference to a prior claim of fraud, XXXX will verify the previously reported information without conducting any investigation prior to such verification. 
In numerous instances, despite written or oral notification from consumers disputing the accuracy or completeness of alleged debts, Defendant XXXX continued to furnish the information to the Creditors without communicating that the information was disputed by the consumer. 
Section 623 ( a ) of the FCRA describes the duties of furnishers to provide accurate information to Creditors. Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) prohibits furnishers from providing information relating to a consumer to any Creditor if i. the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ; and ii. the information is, in fact, inaccurate. 
In numerous instances, I have contacted Defendant XXXX  at the address specified by XXXX   to dispute information about them furnished by XXXX to a Creditor and to notify XXXX that the information is inaccurate. 
In numerous instances, I have also provided information such as the consumers drivers license, social security number, and/or proof of residence to confirm my identity. 
The acts and practices alleged above constitute violations of Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ). Pursuant to Section 621 ( a ) ( 1 ) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s ( a ) ( 1 ), the acts and practices alleged above also constitute unfair or deceptive acts or practices in violation of Section 5 ( a ) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45 ( a ). 
This creditor is also a furnisher of inaccurate credit information and is just as liable as XXXX. A recorded statement from XXXX  states that this creditor is the one responsible for removing this information from my credit report. As it currently stands they have not validated or verified the accuracy of this inquiry. They also failed to remove the inquire from my credit report after the two year statute of limitation.
