Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2022, I requested an investigation with the credit bureau due to a bankruptcy being reported on my credit file. In XX/XX/2022, I was notified that the bankruptcy was considered accurate. I then contacted the US bankruptcy court regarding this issue and was told they have not verified and do not ever verify debts with the credit bureau. So, if this is the case, how did the credit bureau verify that the information reporting on my file is 100 % accurate. I investigated the issue further and found that Experian receives their bankruptcy information from a third party company called XXXX XXXX. Ive contacted this company and was told all false reporting of the bankruptcy has been removed from my file. However, Experian refuse to update my record. If this is not the case and bankruptcy information is not verified or validated through XXXX XXXX I asked the company to provide me with rightful information on their investigation method. I have not been able to get resolution to either. Instead, I was told that they can not verify my identity. I believe this to be an attempt to prolong inaccurate and damaging false reporting. They never did a fair investigation according to the 15U.S.C 1681. 15.U.S.C 1681 section 603 ( 3 ) ( E ) states ; The term " investigative consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he/she is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such reporting information shall not include specific factual information on a consumer 's credit record obtained directly from the creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. They also violated my rights numerous times. The credit bureau violated my given rights under 15 USC 1681 According to 15 USC section 602A I have a right to privacy According to 15 USC 1681 section 604 A section 2 it also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions. According to 15 USC 1681S-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting wit the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.
