Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
RE : Experian My current credit report has a listing and or listings in which has not been validated by your company per request per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If a Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the credit file. The FTC has noted that providing a copy of a printout, bill, or alleged account documents does not constitute validation. Mere itemization of what you already have does not accomplish my requested debt validation.

The Bankruptcy Court has mailed me letter which states the DO NOT provide any information to Credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or third-party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U.S District court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW.

My request to the U.S. District Courts Confirmed Experian has never validated or verified these public records entries on my credit report, neither will they ever by them. They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering the information indicating a Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation, I need all tax lien and bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number, date of birth, and/or address to be PERMANETLY DELETED from my Credit report Immediately.

Experian needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these public records bearing a court order to place this information in my credit report with my authorization of release bearing my signature. To be in full compliance with the FCRA laws and guidelines, all information listed under Public Records needs to be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my social security number, date of birth, and /or address. Be further advised that I am closely monitoring my credit file. Per the Federal Law, you have Exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ). Your non-compliance with my request will also be construed as an absolute waiver of all claims to enforce the debt against me and your implied agreement to compensate me for court costs and attorney fees. The FTC has noted that providing a copy of a printout, bill, or alleged account documents does not constitute validation. Mere itemization of what you already have does not accomplish my requested debt validation * to Verify- through physical verification of the original signed consumer *Provided a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release * The How with which you verified the information *The name of the person handled your request and provided proof of ownership of Debt through physical verification * Which documents you obtained to verify Ownership of Debt. If none are satisfied under federal law, Per the Federal Credit Reporting Act. Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ). you are required by Federal law to Verify- through physical verification of the original signed consumer contract and/or judgement ( s ) - all accounts and public information that you post on anyones credit report. Otherwise, any paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, email in fraudulent and erroneous account information. As Such, if this unauthorized public record information is not deleted from my credit report within the next 30 days, I have already filed a complaint with the Federal Trade commission and will follow with a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Claim if you fail to respond within 30 days of receipt of this dispute. Should you continue in your non-compliance, the law is very clear as to the civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent non-compliance. I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint seeking relief and monetary damages under FCRA Sections 616 and 617
