The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 



Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. 



There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 
( My rights have been violated and the bureaus failed to do a accurate investigation because after 30 days they have not fixed these inaccuracies and I have my credit report in an attachment showing all the inaccuracies on my credit report ( all inaccuracies are circled marked with an X ). My rights were violated and XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax failed to do there job correctly. I demand these inaccurate accounts to be removed ASAP off my credit report. ) In the attached documents I have the letters I sent out with the mailing tracking numbers and my credit report WITH ALL THE INACCURACIES THEY ARE STILL REPORTING inaccurate information. ) ( I DEMAND THESE INACCURATE ITEMS TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE MY RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED. ) They have passed the 30 day window to change these inaccuracies so these accounts need to be deleted.
