Complaint:
The Credit Bureaus never did a proper Investigation with the following accounts : 1. Account Name : XXXX XXXX - XXXX Amount : {$2700.00} Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Account Name : XXXX XXXX Bank Amount : {$570.00} Opened : XX/XX/XXXX 3. XXXX XXXX XXXX Original creditor : 11 XXXX XXXX Account type : Collection Collection Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Reason for dispute : Violation of my rights according to 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A, States I have the right to privacy and 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 

According to the FCRA 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 other with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. 

They did not do this at all. 

In accordance with the fair credit reporting everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report. 

The credit bureaus stated my account was properly investigation but how is that possible if XXXX, Equifax and XXXX is all showing different account information? Also, I respectfully request to be provided proof of this alleged item, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature. Failing that, the item must be deleted from the report as soon as possible. This information is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and as such represents a very serious error in your reporting.

U.S.C 1681 section 5 A TREATMENT OF INACCURATE OR UNVERIFIABLE INFORMATION : If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.
