Complaint:
my FCRA rights is continuously being violated by XXXX who never showed me proof of the date of my first delinquency I requested in a previous dispute and failure to show proof of date of first delinquency the account must be removed by law. Also XXXX is reporting an updated charge-off on my account. If the first charge off was posted on my consumer report in XXXX why is this charge-off being furnished to my consumer report every month all the way up until XXXX also is reporting an updated balance of {$8800.00} which was posted on my consumer report XXXX XXXX. If the account was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX how is it possible to report a charge-off which is in definition by the IRS as cancelled-debt XXXX decided to continue to report a charge-off on my consumer report every month including an updated balance. XXXX is reporting inaccurate information to my consumer report and falsely manipulating the statue of limitation by continuing to report an updated balance. consumer reporting agencies are bound by all FCRA laws and my consumer report has to be 100 % accurate at all times, any inaccurate information reporting to the consumer report has to be removed by law. violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures ( a ) Identity and purposes of credit users Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title.
