Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. Attached is my drivers license and utility bill are attached for identification. 
YOU ARE IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE FCRA, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your investigations, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required underSection 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Its very obvious that your agency doesnt know what the FCRA is because from the looks of my credit report and all the errors I see you are disregarding it so heres my breakdown.

1.The Fair Credit Reporting Act is the primary federal law that governs the collection and reporting of credit information about consumers. Its rules cover how a consumer 's credit information is obtained, how long it is kept, and how it is shared with othersincluding consumers themselves.

2. What is a FCRA violation?

Creditors give reporting agencies inaccurate financial information about you. Reporting agencies mixing up one person 's information with another 's because of similar ( or same ) last name or social security number. Agencies fail to follow guidelines for handling disputes.

3. My rights under the fair credit reporting act Verify the accuracy of my report when it is required for employment purposes.

PROVIDING AN ACCURATE CREDIT SCORE ( I HAVE NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN A VALID CREDIT SCORE IN OVER 60 DAYS FROM YOUR COMPANY OR ANY OTHER BUREAU AND I PAY A MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP WITH YOUR COMPANY ) Receive notification if information in my file has been used against me in applying for credit or other transactions.

Disputeand have the bureaus correct and deleteinformation in my report that is incomplete, inaccurate, and unverifiable.

Remove outdated, negative information ( after seven years in most cases, 10 in the case of bankruptcy ).

I demand these items be deleted immediately. I entered the items and the outcome I desire below because you are in violation and these items are not 100 % accurate and they are Either INACCURATE, Unverifiable and Invalidated. I recently applied for extended credit and was denied I am in distress because of your mistakes.

The law is very clear as to the civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

1. The following personal information is incorrect Previous Address ( es ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 2. The following personal information is incorrect Previous Address ( es ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 3. The following personal information is incorrect Previous Address ( es ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX To get even more technical, re-aging is an illegal act due to FCRA Section 623 ( 5 ) ( A ). This law states : In general. A person who furnishes information to a consumer reporting agency regarding a delinquent account being placed for collection, charged to profit or loss, or subjected to any similar action shall, not later than 90 days after furnishing the information, notify the agency of the date of delinquency on the account, which shall be the month and year of the commencement of the delinquency on the account that immediately preceded the action.

This is the second time this account has been removed and re-placed on my account. This company is making up account numbers and false information each time to report on my credit from debt buyers. This is purchased unverifiable debt and its not my debt. Block this company from continuation of damages that are being caused to me with your allowance. This company performs illegal practices.
