To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third-party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 
You were advised by me on XX/XX/2022 by certified mail that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit reports. That request was written by me and mailed by me- not a third-party agency. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. 
Here again is the incorrect information being reported : 1. 15 USC 1666b a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end Aconsumer credit plan as late for any purpose FDCPA 807 False misleading information FDCPA 8012 furnishing deceptive forms must remove late payments under CARES For AM XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX THIS ACCOUNT IS INACCURATE I DID NOT INCUR ANY LATE PAYMENTS. PLEASE UPDATE TO PAID ON TIME Additionally, there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. 
I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. 
I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this letter dated XX/XX/2022 is formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more. 
I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

After sending multiple letters to the credit bureaus, I have not received any response from them nor seen any changes to my report. The negative inquiries which I have been disputing still appear on my credit report. This is clearly a violation of the Federal Law. Per FCRA section 605b, the credit bureaus are required to remove/block any inquiries listed on an identity theft report. Please find the required documents to assist in the blocking of the erroneous information which is being posted on my report. 
XXXX Date of inquiry XX/XX/2020 XXXX Date of inquiry XX/XX/2020
Complaint sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Discover Card - in its latest response - has provided this organization, and me, with information that it knows is incorrect. 

In its last response, it claims that it sent paperless responses and documents to an email address that corresponds to an email address that was included in its application. That email address - according to a XX/XX/2017 letter - was " XXXX. '' Upon sharing with them that I have never had an email address of that sort, they backed off. 

It wasn't until my most recent request for their method of delivering their statements are they now claiming that they email address they sent to the person that opened the account, is the same email address used on my correspondence to this agency, my email address : XXXX. 

So : 1. They can't provide anyone with a complete date when they got an application. 

2. There's a two-month gap between when they approved an application and when they mailed a card. 

3. They claim that they approved the account with supporting information, but refuse to provide the information they used when requested. 

4. They originally claimed - to me and to this agency - that they mailed physical statements ; now they claim that they emailed statements to the email address XXXX EVEN THOUGH they claimed to email statements to a XXXX address when asked about this is XX/XX/2017. 

REQUEST : I request that Discover provide this agency, and me, with proof of the email address they used to submit these statements. It shouldn't be hard to provide if you have an actual signed contract/application that you claim to have when you opened this account. 

Please keep in mind that I'm collecting all of your responses for the purposes of legal action.

Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I am following up on my prior complaint as I am unable to add documentation or edit said complaint. Once again I was on the phone with XXXX in order to rectify the derogatory credit rating that they applied to me by dropping my credit score by 66 points due to the Cares Act Mandated requirement to defer my loan. This was done without my permission. I am paid over one year in advance as well as began payments prior to the required time to pay the loan. I paid while my daughter was in school! I have never been late. I was once again put on hold with this company for over one hour ( I have phone records to prove this ) and finally hung up. It is quite clear that they have no interest in fixing any of this. Prior to requesting I be transferred to a supervisor as I was told that this would be looked into, I spoke to XXXX and she said that it was in review and that nothing could be done. I want my credit score to be what I have worked hard for it to be. I want it reinstated to the score it was prior to XXXX deducting 66 points and better as I have since paid off or down on more obligations. This is a direct violation of the CARES ACT it should not even need to be in review. I quote, " The CARES Act suspends student loan payment obligations through XX/XX/2020. During that time, borrowers ' credit reports are supposed to reflect the loans as if there was " a regularly scheduled payment made by a borrower. '' This requirement is also reflected on XXXXXXXX XXXX own website, which explained in a blog post that " the Department of Education will report suspended payments to the national credit bureaus as though they were on-time payments. '' Despite requirements under the law, public complaints from borrowers like lead plaintiff Mr. XXXX reveal widespread, improper furnishing and credit reporting. Specifically, borrowers whose loans are serviced by XXXX XXXX complain of their damaged credit caused by no fault of their own. Following borrower complaints, XXXX XXXX has publicly acknowledged its error. 

XXXX XXXX is the government student loan contractor that handles loans for more than 8 million customers and is the largest servicer of borrowers with federally held loans. Today 's lawsuit demands XXXX XXXX immediately cease violating the California Consumer Reporting Agencies Act. Today 's lawsuit also demands XXXX, XXXX, Equifax and XXXX XXXX XXXX immediately cease violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the California Consumer Reporting Agencies Act, and California 's Unfair Competition Law ... .. '' and it goes on this is from an article https : XXXX? XXXX. I would like this fixed no. There are absolutely no excuses. Shame on XXXX, EQUIFAX, AND XXXX XXXX! I expect this agency to do something about this truly. This is in direct violation to what the CARES ACT was  designed for. It is supposed to help not DAMAGE!
