Complaint:
I have been fighting with the credit reporting agencies for months now and they just won't comply with the LAW and violate my rights as a consumer. I wrote the three agencies ( XXXX, Equifax & XXXX  ) twice in last 4 months and they have not adequately giving a fair and LEGAL remedy for the Fraudulent accounts placed on my credit report! 
On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I wrote them in dispute of the account and demanded that they be deleted but they have failed to do so. 

So I will remind them of congress LAW according to the FDCPA 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts ( a ) Notice of debt ; contents Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing ( 1 ) the amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector ; ( 4 ) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector ; and ( 5 ) a statement that, upon the consumers written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.

( b ) Disputed debts If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. Collection activities and communications that do not otherwise violate this subchapter may continue during the 30-day period referred to in subsection ( a ) unless the consumer has notified thedebt collector in writing that the debt, or any portion of the debt, is disputed or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor. Any collection activities and communicationduring the 30-day period may not overshadow or be inconsistent with the disclosure of theconsumers right to dispute the debt or request the name and address of the original creditor.
Also furnishing of late payments to my report are against the LAW referencing to 15 U.S. Code 1666b Timing of Payments. A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
