THIS ACCOUNT CREATES NEW INQUIRES ON MY CREDIT REORT DAMAGING MY CREDIT REPORT PLS SEE ATTACHED DATES AND CONSUMER FILE. 


A consumer can not add account once it has already been deleted and remove sold or acquitted No contract Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) allows CRAs to furnish consumer reports in accord with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Late payment reported Negatively impacted Issue not resolved after multi attempts Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. ( 2 ) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers. ( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. XXXX a ) Abusive practices There is abundant evidence of the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by many debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies, to marital instability, to the loss of jobs, and to invasions of individual privacy. ( b ) Inadequacy of laws Existing laws and procedures for redressing these injuries are inadequate to protect consumers. ( c ) Available non-abusive collection methods XXXX other than misrepresentation or other abusive debt collection practices are available for the effective collection of debts. ( d ) Interstate commerce Abusive debt collection practices are carried on to a substantial extent in interstate commerce and through means and instrumentalities of such commerce. Even where abusive debt collection practices are purely intrastate in character, they nevertheless directly affect interstate commerce. ( e ) Purposes It is the purpose of this subchapter to eliminate abusive debt collection practices by debt collectors, to insure that those debt collectors who refrain from using abusive debt collection practices are not competitively disadvantaged, and to promote consistent State action to protect consumers against debt collection abuses. Please review I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v. Gravens ( m 281 SW 715,719, I presume that no proof of the alleged! debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact therefor exists.
