Complaint:
On several occasions I requested that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX be removed from my credit report for unlawfully re-aged payment and charge-off dates Proof of Charge off Status are easily track via the credit reporting agencies own internal data and reports given to me. I never committed any act that trigger the re-aging of the account or starts the statute of limitations clock all over again. XXXX XXXX XXXX has submitted numerous dates as the Charge off date and has also submitted various updates to payment status. Due to situations beyond my control my last payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX was XXXX of XXXX. However XXXX continued to update as if payments were being made. XX/XX/XXXX. Later the debt was posted with new charge-off date of XX/XX/XXXX, then again as XX/XX/XXXX. The date that the creditor places the account for collection is not the basis for calculating the delinquency date. The collection date is calculated based on the consumers delinquency, not the creditors later actions. The Credit Reporting Agencies also makes it difficult to Request consumer disclosure file. The consumer disclosure file would assist me in providing proof of my claim. However when I have called the credit reporting agencies I have been told that I could only receive a credit report not my full disclosure file not even if I paid for it. I made the credit reporting agencies aware of these unlawful reporting instead of removing XXXX XXXX XXXX, from my credit report the agencies allowed to continuously harm me for years by updating the following information. After I pointed out my account was re-aged the Credit Reporting Agencies allowed XXXX  XXXX XXXX to update the information and stated that the " account information disputed by consumer, meets FCRA requirements. '' I feel that no real independent investigation was performed by any of the credit reporting agencies. FCRA requires that all information reported be true and up to date. 

Re-aged charge-off dates according tot the Credit Reporting Agencies XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is in violation of the following VIOLATIONS OF THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT 15 U.S.C. 1692e re-aging is an illegal act due to FCRA Section 623 ( 5 ) ( A ).

Making a false and misleading representation in violation of 1692e ( 10 ).

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692f, a debt collector may not use any unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt.

Defendant 's debt collection efforts attempted and/or directed towards the Plaintiff violated various provisions of the FDCPA, including but not limited to 15 U.S.C. 1692e I pray that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will assist me in obtaining relief and also that XXXX XXXX XXXX is removed from all Credit Reporting Agencies immediately
