Complaint:
I'm a natural person, 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. The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. 
The term consumer reporting agency means any person which, for monetary fees, dues, or on a cooperative nonprofit basis, regularly engages in whole or in part in the practice of assembling or evaluating consumer credit information or other information on consumers for the purpose of furnishing consumer reports to third parties, and which uses any means or facility of interstate commerce for the purpose of preparing or furnishing consumer reports. 
The term file, when used in connection with information on any consumer, means all of the information on that consumer recorded and retained by a consumer reporting agency regardless of how the information is stored. 
The term employment purposes when used in connection with a consumer report means a report used for the purpose of evaluating a consumer for employment, promotion, reassignment or retention as an employee.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I sent my letter off on XX/XX/2021. I told the credit bureus to investigate every piece of information on the accounts I have listed below. Also, I attached the letter I sent out. I also submitted a complaint through CFPB and still these bureaus refuse to do their job according to the law. 

According to the FRCA the term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 

They stated my account ( s ) were verified but how is this possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law. Also every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % accurate. And according to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % accurate. Attached is my recent credit report with the inaccuracies highlighted.

15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation.

Company: Global Trust Management LLC
State: LA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Payday loan debt
Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly
Sub-issue: Talked to a third-party about your debt

Complaint:
XX/XX/2022- XXXX XXXX contacted my stepfather, XXXX XXXX and my ex-wife XXXX XXXX about my debt and relayed personal information concerning the debt. 

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX contacted my stepfather, and my ex-wife about my debt and relayed personal information concerning the debt. Also asked for a payment from my ex-wife, whom has no connection to this debt. 

XX/XX/2022 I contacted the Floor Manager XXXX XXXX and requested the harassing phone calls to XXXX parties stop and that only I be contacted. I requested that proof of the original debt be provided to me. Only balances and name of original creditor were provided, not the proof of original debt as required by law and the phone calls to XXXX parties have continued. 

XX/XX/2022 XXXX XXXX contacted my ex-wife, and discussed my debt with her again. 

The contacting of XXXX parties has caused considerable problems for me both personally and professionally as my stepfather is also a sometimes employer of mine and it is imperative that I maintain his confidence and my ex-wife feels that I am causing her to be harassed. 

I have been making steady payments in good faith to pay this debt and the harassment is completely unnecessary.
