Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third-party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 
You were advised by me on XX/XX/2022 by certified mail that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit reports. That request was written by me and mailed by me- not a third-party agency. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. 
Here again is the incorrect information being reported : 1. 15 USC 1666b a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end Aconsumer credit plan as late for any purpose FDCPA 807 False misleading information FDCPA 8012 furnishing deceptive forms must remove late payments under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX THIS ACCOUNT IS INACCURATE I DID NOT INCUR ANY LATE PAYMENTS. PLEASE UPDATE TO PAID ON TIME 2. 15 USC 1666b a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end Aconsumer credit plan as late for any purpose FDCPA 807 False misleading information FDCPA 8012 furnishing deceptive forms must remove late payments under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX THIS ACCOUNT IS INACCURATE I DID NOT INCUR ANY LATE PAYMENTS. PLEASE UPDATE TO PAID ON TIME Additionally, there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. 
I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. 
I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this letter dated XX/XX/2022 is formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more.

I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.
