XXXX ( see attached letter ) responded that it WILL NOT RE INVESTIGATE unless evidence is provided. I am demanding in compliance of FCRA

I have certified mailed all inaccurate reporting such as filings status as discharged and the furnisher listed is inaccurate because The fact that I contacted the court records concerning this inaccurate bankruptcy reporting on my report that you maintain under my social security number, the court system address you have listed represents the original furnisher, is a VIOLATION of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a.
