Complaint:
To whom it may concern, I, the consumer, am making a direct dispute to the companies listed. I am challenging the INTEGRITY and ACCURACY of all the adverse information listed in the attached letters and identity theft report. Please provide me with written disclosures of who you corresponded with about this dispute. Please be aware of the definition of investigative consumer report. 15 U.S. CODE 1681a ( e ), 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. 12 CFR 1022.41 ( a ) Accuracy means that information that a furnisher provides to a consumer reporting agency about an account or other relationship with the consumer correctly : ( 1 ) Reflects the terms of and liability for the account or other relationship ; ( 2 ) Reflects the consumer 's performance and other conduct with respect to the account or other relationship ; and ( 3 ) Identifies the appropriate consumer. ( b ) Direct dispute means a dispute submitted directly to a furnisher ( including a furnisher that is a debt collector ) by a consumer concerning the accuracy of any information contained in a consumer report and pertaining to an account or other relationship that the furnisher has or had with the consumer. ( d ) Integrity means that information that a furnisher provides to a consumer reporting agency about an account or other relationship with the consumer : ( 1 ) Is substantiated by the furnisher 's records at the time it is furnished ; ( 2 ) Is furnished in a form and manner that is designed to minimize the likelihood that the information may be incorrectly reflected in a consumer report ; and ( 3 ) Includes the information in the furnisher 's possession about the account or other relationship that the Bureau has : ( i ) Determined that the absence of which would likely be materially misleading in evaluating a consumer 's creditworthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living ; and 12 CFR 10222.43 ( a ) General rule. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a furnisher must conduct a reasonable investigation of a direct dispute if it relates to : ( 1 ) The consumer 's liability for a credit account or other debt with the furnisher, such as direct disputes relating to whether there is or has been identity theft or fraud against the consumer, whether there is individual or joint liability on an account, or whether the consumer is an authorized user of a credit account ; ( 2 ) The terms of a credit account or other debt with the furnisher, such as direct disputes relating to the type of account, principal balance, scheduled payment amount on an account, or the amount of the credit limit on an open-end account ; ( 3 ) The consumer 's performance or other conduct concerning an account or other relationship with the furnisher, such as direct disputes relating to the current payment status, high balance, date a payment was made, the amount of a payment made, or the date an account was opened or closed ; or ( 4 ) Any other information contained in a consumer report regarding an account or other relationship with the furnisher that bears on the consumer 's creditworthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living. ( e ) Duty of furnisher after receiving a direct dispute notice. After receiving a dispute notice from a consumer pursuant to paragraphs ( c ) and ( d ) of this section, the furnisher must : ( 1 ) Conduct a reasonable investigation with respect to the disputed information ; ( 2 ) Review all relevant information provided by the consumer with the dispute notice ; ( 3 ) Complete its investigation of the dispute and report the results of the investigation to the consumer before the expiration of the period under section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) of the FCRA ( 15 U.S. CODE 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) within which a consumer reporting agency would be required to complete its action if the consumer had elected to dispute the information under that section ; and ( 4 ) If the investigation finds that the information reported was inaccurate, promptly notify each consumer reporting agency to which the furnisher provided inaccurate information of that determination and provide to the consumer reporting agency any correction to that information that is necessary to make the information provided by the furnisher accurate.
