Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I have sent a request in writing on XX/XX/XXXX for these inaccurate, reporting agency altered accounts to be verified and validated with the original contract, agreement or account with my signature and date to match what is being reported.

It is my rights and the responsibility of the reporting agency to provide true and accurate reporting that it actively reports and shares with others and with lenders.

My written request was never acknowledged, never given consideration nor did it resolve the inaccurate and altered issues. Its been over 30 days and I and requesting all refused information is removed at once.

To inaccurately report inaccurate and altered info on a consumer credit report is in violation of the FCRA and violates many laws.

We as consumers are given the opportunity to dispute wrong and inaccurate, altered information however its been proven these reporting agencies refuse investigation and continue to completely and unfairly destroy a consumers right to fair reporting.

I have took an extreme loss and suffered much damage and made a victim of unfair, fraudulent reporting. 90 % of my credit reports are inaccurate and fraudulent. Attached on a report from XXXX it states, Date open XX/XX/XXXX from a company i have never transacted business with, It states, date of first delinquency XX/XX/XXXX. If properly verified and validated with original documents signed and dated, that would resolve many issues. 

All of this evidence will be put together and submitted to the courts for further investigation and compensation. Against Experian, XXXX and XXXX XXXX.
