Complaint:
I am sending this as a formal complaint, I have disputed several times information that is reporting on my credit report incorrectly and made several requests that the information be updated corrected or removed. To date every time I the owner of the credit report advise you that the information you have is incorrect you claim to verify the info and I have proven several times that you in fact are not verifying this information but getting outdated information from third party sources. Even creditors are advising that they are not giving the agency this information ( XXXX  reponse is an attachment ). Per laws set forth by the government debts that are discharged in bankruptcy can't show anything else such as any balance still owed, in collections, delinquent, charge-off, or any other negative information. Again, to reiterate, any debt that has been discharged in bankruptcy can only show XXXX balance-discharged in bankruptcy. If anything else appears on that particular trade line, especially if it is derogatory information, then that violates the requirements of the FCRA. Under the FCRA your agency is in violation if it fails to notify a business/creditor that I dispute the information at hand as well as failing to investigate, It is your duty to notify every creditor involved of my dispute, refrain from continuing to submit information that it knows ( or should know ) is incorrect. Modify the information, delete it, or permanently block its reporting if the information turns out to be inaccurate or incomplete or cant be verified. FCRA 623 ( b ) ( 1 ) Complete the dispute within 30 days unless I provide more information, we are 3 rounds in and far past the 30 day mark. ( and the " verified info '' is still incorrect ) 30 days after the CRA gets the dispute from the consumer. If the CONSUMER provides additional relevant information during the 30day period, the CRA has 15 more days to resolve the dispute. I DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFO IN THE 30 DAY PERIOD I DID FILE A COMPLAINT after my 30 days IN WHICH YOU REQUESTED MORE TIME, and then an additional dispute even though you'd claimed in previous correspondence the dispute was completed. If it had in fact been fully verified you would not have needed to reopen additional disputes nor would accounts have been updated on my report from good standing to bad and then after my complaint back to good ( XXXX XXXX  as an example ). Even the inquiries on my report it is your duty and noted in the law CRAs can not release your credit report to just anybody. They can only give them to authorized persons. CRAs may disclose your report only to persons or entities that have a valid need, such as creditors, landlord, insurance providers, utility companies, and, employers ( only if I previously consented ). Authorized means I gave permission and I have advised several times that I did not consent and put a freeze on my report which you placed a 7 year extended fraud alert that I did not request ( most of my problems are with a breach of information from your agency in the first breach ). It is also illegal for creditors to pull your Credit Report for an Impermissible Purpose such as a creditor on a debt you discharged in bankruptcy pulls your credit report to check out your current financial activity. As well as reporting mixed files I am an XXXX XXXX  and I have reported numerous times that the info provided is that of my XXXX  sister, These are willful and negligent violations of the FCRA and there are several consequences for the companies and the CRA 's who refuse to follow these laws. I have obtained as much proof as possible that my rights are being violated and this agency is not doing what they are mandated to do by law and I have given them several opportunities to get it correct. And I never requested dispute comments be added to my report I have requested they be removed several times.

The accounts that need to be reviewed and deleted because they have failed to follow the laws set forth by government and it is deemed to be unverifiable because no correct information has been updated or reported since I started this process are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX- reporting unrated with a negative payment history and dispute comments XXXX Charge off with negative payment history and dispute comment XXXX- Charge off with negative history and dispute comment XXXX- charge off negative history and dispute comment XXXX- charge off with history and dispute comment XXXX XXXX- unrated and dispute comment XXXX XXXX- Charge off and History and dispute comment XXXX paid never late not included in bankruptcy, they can not be discharged in bk.
