Complaint:
I received an unsolicited letter via email from XXXX acct : XXXX stating that I owe a debt. This account has already been disputed as not valid with the original creditor. Fair Credit Reporting Act dictates that every single accusation of debt, be it true or not true it absolutely must be reported accurately, timely, and reported in all deferment/transfer cases. It appears that it can not be determined in irrefutable fact ( as required ) that everyone and all the ACCOUNTS in question were or were not handled properly when they were transferred. I am enacting both my consumer rights lawfully to COMPEL YOU IN WRIT DEMAND to demonstrate all facts and further to in equivalently provide me with written documentation of the deletion of this erroneous information for every one of the unproven or else otherwise not lawfully compliant reporting of accounts, which obviously are in question. Consumer Financial Protection offices ( regarding this unforgivable and extremely injurious error in your clear misreporting of illegal misinformation )! AGAIN, FACT IS that to this date, no entity ( neither the accusers nor you ) has elected to properly and lawfully in truth, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and otherwise in full reporting compliance ( particularly in metro 2 compliance ) to provide to me, the consumer alleged, even a single or ONE tangible shred of evidence from any much less any of these data furnisher ( s ) of your absolute maximum compliant reporting ( s ). I have indeed made known my concerns of the data provider and your continued potentially unlawful chicanery-based subterfuge in my credit reports as related to these allegations hereby above detailed.
