Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I disputed XXXX XXXX XXXX and both Transunion and XXXX  came back and verified it as valid. It is my belief that E-OSCAR was their mode of verification and a valid investigation was not done. Credit bureaus and creditors must take certain actions in response. Their duties include conducting a reasonable investigation of my dispute, correcting any inaccurate information, or even removing the disputed debt from your credit report. It is my belief that bothTransunion and XXXX  did not review the evidence presented or even contact the furnisher. I submitted a direct dispute to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX under the under the provisions of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) ( E ) and 16 CFR 660.4 and I  advised them should they find the disputed information to be inaccurate or incomplete, or if Scribe can not verify the accuracy or completeness of the disputed information, they are additionally required, under FCRA 623 ( ( 1 ) ( E ), to also promptly notify the credit reporting agencies of deletion of this information from my credit file. Identification of the specific information being disputed : XXXX XXXX XXXX as shown on my Credit Reports, is showing incorrect information. 

I gave 30 days to validate. But they MUST cease collection efforts, and that includes reporting to the CRAs on myself and the joint responsible party. They are also not allowed to list the debt on my credit report after receiving this dispute, please delete promptly. I asked that they can not call, write, sue, or continue reporting to the CRAs. 

Basis for dispute : I was asked by the owner to take over the lease early from the existing tenants due to their inability to fulfill their financial contractual obligation. However, we never received any documentation of what issues or damages were made by them before we moved in. These damages belong to the original ( primary lease/account holder ). 

We paid a deposit between the amount $ XXXX {$1500.00}. For this alleged debt, no document of where that deposit was applied was ever reported. We never received the deposit back. This reported balance is incorrect ( agencies XXXX, XXXX  and TransUnion ) Date first reported XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX   and TransUnion ) is incorrect. 

Copies of all maintenance requests that were made from the original tenant that we took over the lease for plus our requests/approvals from the owner until our lease term ended was never provided to myself or the joint responsible party. 

Unauthorized charges were made due to the vendor invoices from each vendor that was used upon move out to fix alleged damages. 

Scribe violated my rights by not responding because they knew they had not ever notified or validated the debt they contacted a " collection agency '' 10 days after I told them no further collection efforts should be made until validation deadline XX/XX/XXXX. This is completely
