Previous from creditor 's response XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.consumerfinance.govXXXX XXXX XXXX ( states they're no longer creditor ) and asked me to contact another creditor? so why would I do that since new creditor is XXXX, right? it is not on credit report which saying XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX so basically they have violated my rights big time I will have to sue them for falsifying reporting my credit report because first they do not have my written permission and secondly I no longer liable for this debt this been re-aged, been modified, etc I have attached screenshot what I seen. I also attached FTC report too because it is unauthorized furnished on my credit report. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report.

This ground for removal they also violated my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 602 A States I have the right to privacy. 

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions or consent. 

15 U.S.C. 1692c states Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt Bureau keep saying they verified the account because they went with creditor so how they verified the account with creditor that doesn't have my written permission to furnished the account? that's HEARSAY. All I am see is accurate as verified so I am requesting for full method of verification.

The Federal case law states the following : " Consumer Reporting Agencies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibility must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from other sources. '' That means that your company can not just verify my account by telling me it is verified. See. FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). 

My initial dispute was detailed and directly related to the account ( s ) in question. See. Exhibit C. A template response will not be an acceptable response. If you can not supply all of the above information in a timely manner as detailed in several laws, including but not limited to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I must immediately demand the permanent removal of each disputed item from my credit report.
