Complaint:
ACCOUNT VERIFIED RESPONSE I Sent my letter off on XX/XX/XXXX. I told the credit bureaus to " investiage every piece of information '' on the accounts I have listed below. Also I have attached the letter I sent out and here is the Tracking #. 
According to the FRCA The term " investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 
They stated my account was verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law. Also every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % Accurate. 
And according to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % Accurate. I have the credit report showing the inaccuracies. 
ListAccounts DISPUTE RESPONSE 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft Shall be removed from the consumers report not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt. 


It has been 30 days and you are in VIOLATION of this law because I am a victim of identit theft!! Please delete these items as soon as possible! 
These accounts should not be furnished on my consumer report as they are in VIOLATION! 
Under, 15 U.S Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports ( a ) IN GENERAL Subject to subsection ( c ) any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the WRITTEN INSTRUCTION of the consumer to whom it relates. I NEVER gave any consumer reporting agency WRITTEN CONSENT to report anything on my consumer report which violates my rights as a federal protected consumer. NO CONSENT IS IDENTITY THEFT. 


As a federally protected consumer I am demanding the deletion of the accounts listed IMMEDIATELY.
