The Credit bureaus stated that my account was properly investigation but how is that possible if the open date is inaccurate, the date last active is inaccurate, and date last reported is accurate. This ground for removal the also violated my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : it also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions. 

Also the Credit bureaus took more than 30 days to complete my investigation.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
