This Dispute is going on Four months old without resolution and is causing me mental and financial stress. The Law states that these companies 's procedures have to be reasonable, impartial, and fair to preserve the rights of ME!!! The Consumer. On XX/XX/XXXX my notice of dispute was received by an agent of XXXX XXXX Named XXXX XXXX and signed with a return receipt request # XXXX. After 60 Days of no response or acknowledgement from XXXX XXXX I submitted my dispute through the CFPB portal Complaint # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX which was sent to XXXX XXXX And XXXX XX/XX/XXXX the company responded that it needs more time which violates my rights as a CONSUMER and violates Federal Law. As of today XX/XX/XXXX its been 113 days since i sent my Lawful request for validation of this account that is also violating my rights to privacy in accordance to 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602a and 604a section 2 because i never gave written permission to furnish this account furthermore i obtained a recent copy of my consumer report and XXXXXXXX XXXX Failed to mark my account as currently in dispute with experian which is another violation of my rights. I am enclosing my updated consumer report showing where the account is not notated as currently in dispute also says my information was sold to another creditor which i just found out upon checking my report so that means my information was sold unbeknownst to me and without my permission. I am also including again the return receipt signed for by XXXX XXXX an AGENT of XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX This is of the most important and urgent matter because of the affect it is having on my life and ability to move forward. The statue of limitations on the time allowed for XXXX XXXX  to complete the investigation into my dispute has very well exceeded the threshold and they are in VIOLATION of the FCRA and FDCPA with the assistance of EXPERIAN.
