I have items passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate records listed below. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

State: AR
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I disputed negative items on my consumer report with Experian on XX/XX/2023, unfortunately I didnt send it certified mail so I cant prove when Experian received it, and I already know that its just my word against their word. I do know that I sent Experian a dispute letter, and they have not yet responded, and by law they are required to respond within 30 days after receiving a dispute letter from the consumer. 

Attached to this complaint is a copy of the dispute letter I sent Experian, and since they have not yet responded to my first dispute, I am requesting that they delete all items that I have listed on my attached dispute letter since they are in violation of the FCRA, which makes all my disputes unverifiable. If Experian indicates that they never received my dispute letter, then I am requesting that Experian conducts a Consumer Investigation, not just a verification with the furnisher of information. 

15 USC 1681a ( e ) indicates that a consumer investigation 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 or she is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. I will expect Experian to give me the names and phone numbers of those they spoke with after their investigation, otherwise the negative items on my consumer report will be unverifiable and must be removed. 

Thank you for your cooperation Sincerely XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
This letter is to formally advise you that I believe your company has violated several of my consumer rights. Specifically, you failed to validate a debt at my request, which is a FDCPA violation and you continued to report a disputed debt to the Credit Bureaus : another FCRA violation. Not only have you ignored my prior requests for validation of debt but you continue to report this debt to the credit bureaus causing damage to my character. This letter will again request that you follow the FDCPA and please provide the following validation of debt request : -Proof of your right to own/collect this alleged debt -Balance claimed including all fees, interest and penalties -Contract bearing my personal signature As you may be aware, " Estoppel by Silence '' legally means that you had a duty to speak but failed to do so therefore, that must mean you agree with me that this debt is false. I will use the Estoppel in my defense. I expect to receive the proof requested above within 15 days of this letter.

Should you again ignore my request for validation of debt I reserve the right to sue your company for violations of my consumer rights as specified under both the FDCPA and the FCRA. I may also seek damages from you if warranted.

I deposited a {$15000.00} check into my savings account from my car insurance as a result of a crash the bank put a seven day hold on it. I requested that they released the hold and produced documentation showing the check was legitimate from an insurance company as result of a crash was told the check would be released within 24 hours. The check was not released for nearly 128 hours after being told to check would be released in 24 hours.
