Complaint:
This is a request as authorized by the FCRA 611 Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] This request is regarding the account listed below : Radius Global Solutions This account has previously been reported on my credit file and was subsequently deleted after the item was disputed and could not be verified. OnXX/XX/2020. I requested a copy of my credit report under my rights through the FACTA act. This item was not contained in my credit file on that date. On XX/XX/2020,  after being denied credit for a home student based upon negative information being reported through XXXX  and XXXX. I requested a second copy of my credit report under my rights to review my credit report after denial of credit. The account in question suddenly reappeared on the report dated XX/XX/2020. I immediately completed an online dispute for this account. In response to this dispute you sent me a letter dated XX/XX/2020 ( with confirmation number XXXX ). In this letter it stated that my investigation was completed and that you verified that this item belongs to me. I have two problems with the way reporting on this account has been handled by XXXX. First, according to my XX/XX/XXXX credit report, this item was reported in XXXX. Even giving you a very generous assumption that this item was reported to you on XX/XX/2020. I find it very difficult to believe that " additional information regarding this item '' sufficient enough to prove this is my account could have been provided to you by XX/XX/XXXX, only one day after the account was re-reported to you. Furthermore, I find it very odd that you're letter " verifying this account '' predates my dispute of this account. Additionally, you are in violation of FCRA 611 Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] for your failure to notify me in a timely manner of this tradeline being reinserted into my credit file. In accordance with the requirements of the FCRA as shown below, I am hereby requesting your complete compliance with any and all of the provisions as follows : 611.
