Complaint:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that your investigation was complete. Please explain to me how you conducted your investigation because as you can see in the attached screenshots this information is being reported inaccurately across ALL THREE BUREAUS! FCRA Act Section 611, gives me the right to request an explanation of the verification method. I request a copy of any documents used to verify my information under the FACTA act, SEC 312 ( b ) and ( c ). These erroneous entries are detrimental to my overall credit rating and has caused me severe financial and emotional distress. I am aware of the investigation that the CFPB and XXXX XXXX XXXX of the House Select Subcommittee is conducting into XXXX, Equifax, XXXX for violating credit reporting rules. The prevalence of credit reporting errors has been particularly concerning at a time when Americans have needed access to credit in order to weather difficult economic circumstances brought on by the pandemic, XXXX wrote in the letter to XXXX. Errors in credit reports can reduce consumers credit scores, potentially blocking access to loans, housing, and employment, among other serious consequences. According to evidence obtained by the subcommittee, the credit raters discard millions of disputes a year without investigation. At least XXXX XXXX were thrown out between XXXX and XXXX, the subcommittee found. Discarding disputes violates the fair credit laws if any are submitted directly by consumers to authorized representatives. If you choose not to provide the above requested deletion or requested/required documentation of your investigation, I will pursue the enforcements of my constitutional rights via federal court proceedings. As you are well aware this information will come out through my formal discovery process, and necessary depositions. The following inaccuracies MUST BE DELETED NOW.
