Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Experian Re : XXXX XXXX XXXX  accounts To Whom may concern, On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a dispute/complaint through the CFPB pertaining to two fraudulent files furnishing on my consumer report. I requested a investigative consumer report Pursuant to 15 USC 1681d ( a ) done by all consumer reporting agencies by phone and through the CFPB initially pertaining to the two fraudulent accounts. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX responded back that the account had been either disputed or they provided me with results already. In which both responses are unacceptable. I never received anything. Due to my right to privacy as a consumer being violated Per USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) by furnishing and sharing my information without my knowledge or consent. I filed the dispute/complaint on XX/XX/XXXX ( # XXXX # XXXX # XXXX ) requesting Pursuant to 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) the description of the reinvestigation method referred to in 15 USC 1681i ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ). I requested all documents involved in the reinvestigation. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) if the completeness or accuracy in a consumers file is disputed the consumer reporting agencies shall conduct a reinvestigation to determine if disputed information is inaccurate and record status, or delete the item from file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30 day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer. I filed this dispute through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on XX/XX/XXXX, its currently XX/XX/XXXX. I havent received any description of the method of reinvestigation thats assured to me the consumer in 30 days by Congress. This is very detrimental to me the consumer in these grave times of economical hardships, with all the scrutiny of millions of inaccuracies and non-investigation accusations coming against the consumer reporting agencies from Congress and Consumers alike. As well as its being openly admitted by the consumer reporting agencies of discarding millions of disputes a year without investigation. Discarding any dispute without investigation violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA. Its already has been reported that CFPB has cited you Consumer Reporting Agencies for accepting insufficient investigation reports from data furnishers without an independent investigation. Which as a consumer, this misuse of power and responsibility is a grave concern to me in these hardship times of economical struggle, scams, identity theft and so forth. I request both fraudulent accounts be deleted from consumer report pursuant to 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ). Pursuant to 15 USC 1681n theres civil Liability for the willful noncompliance of the FCRA. Which will be my next step.
