XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting false information on my credit report. I have requested verification and they continue to violate my rights. I have filed multiple disputes with all three credit bureaus which are reporting information as " verified ''. However, incongruent with my legal rights neither the credit bureaus nor the creditor ( XXXX ) have sent the requested documentation proving the validity of this account. I also have previously sent written correspondence to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX requesting that all account information be verified and removed because this account ( 1 ) does not belong to me, and ( 2 ) is listing both negative and inaccurate information on my credit reports. XXXX XXXX XXXX 's response ( XX/XX/XXXX ) was that I did not indicate what specific information you were disputing or requesting to verify. This is FALSE ; please see the detailed email below which shows all of the inaccuracies this company is reporting false information.
