Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I am very frustrated that the included information below in my credit profile and that the credit bureaus have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in operations to assure the maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports being published. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only XXXX XXXX accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to ensure the information reported is accurate and correct. Recently I did an investigation on my credit report which caused severe XXXX and found unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that your agency didnt make sure were reporting XXXX XXXX correctly. 
Im a natural person my name is XXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus have violated my rights. After any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified as accurate, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, deleted from the file of the consumer. If you can not provide me a copy of verifiable proof within XXXX days after your investigation, you must remove the accounts and the information listed below. Ive sent out dispute letters, and they never sent me evidence supporting my dispute to resolve any issues. You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my original wet signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if I fail to comply. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. I do not want any of the Credit bureaus to update any more information, they had their chance to verify everything several times and now litigation will come if these items are not deleted!!!!
