Complaint:
To Experian Escalation Department : I have contacted the following companies reporting to my credit file and according to them, there has been no communication noted from Experian regarding these items. Out of an abundance of caution and in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act I request the following : 611. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) a notice that, if requested by the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available ; I am CLEARLY requesting the Method of Verification used to contact these furnishers and the specific name and number ( please include extension if applicable ) of the person contacted ( An employee looking at their computer screen and matching a name listed in their database is NOT verification or validation of any alleged debt ) ( Previous request not honored ). And as the following items can not be verified, please delete them from the credit file ( hoping that this is clear ). Your lack of meaningful response seems to be an obstructionist tactic : ACCOUNTS XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   XXXX not mine XXXX  XXXX not mine XXXX   XXXX not mine XXXX  XXXX not mine XXXX XXXX XXXX not mine XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX not mine XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX not mine COLLECTIONS XXXX XXXX XXXX {$180.00} not mine XXXX XXXX XXXX   XXXX {$140.00} not mine XXXX XXXX   XXXX {$3000.00} not mine XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX {$820.00} not mine XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX {$580.00} not mine XXXX XXXX XXXX   XXXX {$1000.00} not mine How is Experian able to verify these items when other agencies can not? 

621. Administrative enforcement [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s ] ( a ) Enforcement by Federal Trade Commission.

( 2 ) Penalties ( A ) Knowing Violations. Except as otherwise provided by subtitle B of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010, in the event of a knowing violation, which constitutes a pattern or practice of violations of this title, the Federal Trade Commission may commence a civil action to recover a civil penalty in a district court of the United States against any person that violates this title. In such action, such person shall be liable for a civil penalty of not more than {$2500.00} per violation.

Identification already on file, please notice your internal Report Number. Please send me a complete updated copy of my credit report. Additionally, DO NOT place a fraud alert or promotional block etc. on my file without my expressed permission.
