On XXXX, I received another letter stating they are unable to conduct an investigation because the specific item disputed was not provided. I called the mortgage company again, explained what has been going on, and now my credit score went down XXXX XXXX, and my wives went down XXXX XXXX. She then said she will put in a request, asking for what specific verification is needed, clarify what is not provided.

She said that this makes no sense, as she is making notes in my file about her findings. On XXXX I received a letter from mortgage company saying they received our inquiry, but after reviewing their records, they determined that a credit correction is not necessary at this time due to the XXXX payment was late.

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc. (TX)

Hello Beginning XXXX XXXX I disputed an amount on my credit report that was not owed. The attorney continued to call and Harass me about this amount of {$2100.00}. I explained I did not owe that amount. They refused to listen to me. 

Now the credit bureaus job was to gain evidence that the amount was inaccurate or correct. They continued to report that it was correct without even doing their job. Therefore this was to be deleted from my account within 30 days. I disputed 6x for an entire 8 months and no one listened to me. The Fair Credit Reporting Act states to verify and/or DELETE these inaccuracies within 30 days. They failed to do so. Why are they allowed to continue to keep this on my report inaccurate for 3 years? I want this deleted. I noticed recently that the price was changed, even after XXXX sent me a letter stating Paid in full, XXXX balance.

I 'm unsure why this amount is changed after almost 4 years. I called the National Credit Systems and they refused to delete it still. This is unjust to the laws that were put in place to protect the consumer. The new amount of {$620.00} on my report should be deleted and obsolete. 

I have been unable to secure a safe apartment for my children due to this inaccuracy that I reported in XXXX to all 3 bureaus MULTIPLE times for 8 months. Broken leases are not considered under any circumstances. 
This has gone on longer than the 30 day requirement to wait for an answer. 8 months longer. 
I want this deleted from my report as that was suppose to be done in XXXX XXXX after the inaccuracies were not investigated properly or deleted in a timely manner. 
How many people are being overcharged inaccurate fees that were not correct from the beginning? How many Americans are suffering with inaccurate debt placed on them due to a company mistake? I am not the only one. This should be stopped and the proper authorities should step in and give proper penalties to the bureaus and creditors for not following the Fair Credit Reporting Act accurately. Is n't that way it was written? 

Thank you for your time and help.

XX/XX/2023 Hello, This my final warning that have explicitly explained to you these items are not accurate and not complete and you have continuously keep reporting them. 

Date of last activity Open Date Closed Date Account Status I wanted to follow up on the results received from you and the other 3 bureaus from my investigation, thank you for getting back with me within 7 days. 

I read that the process of the investigation is to reach every individual company to verify the accuracy of information. In accordance to FCRA, Section 611 A through D, you are supposed to let me know who you verify with. I ask you to delete anything that is not 100 percent accurate. I had a lot of inconsistencies between the 3 credit bureaus with these accounts listed below. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I have now pointed out the mistakes so these need to be deleted not updated, by updating the terms is an admission of guilt and direct violation of my rights of a fair investigation.I am not sure how you can state it was verified.How is it possible that XXXX, Equifax, XXXX all verified the accounts above as accurate , but they all have inconsistencies in the reporting? In fact, there is no possible way a full investigation could have been done in accordance to section 611 due to the inconsistencies coming after my original request of investigation.

At this point, I demand you delete these accounts immediately. Please forward me an updated credit report to my address after you have completed your deletion. 

Thank you,
