I received no such notification. This is a serious violation of the FCRA, and I reserve the right to pursue further action. Your agency may avoid such action by immediately deleting this listing from my credit report.
If an Item Reappears : All violations of the FCRA are treated seriously and can result in a {$1000.00} fine, payable to you, should you successfully sue the offender and win in court. Sometimes merely notifying a creditor or credit bureau of a violation is enough to get the item removed.
Should an offender refuse to cooperate with you after notification of FCRA violations, and you are not willing or able to go to court, you could report the violation to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and let them pursue the matter. Make sure the offender is aware you are reporting them to one or both of these two agencies. When governmental agencies confront such problems, however, the consumer isnt eligible for the {$1000.00} statutory reward that might otherwise be payable should the matter be resolved in the consumers favor in court.
