The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. 

XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX. 

The consumer reporting agency that is reporting this account has violated my rights. I looked at my Transunion credit report after I received an alert regarding an account that was being reported, XXXX. 

Upon further review, I noticed some of the information on this account is incomplete and inaccurate. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report, it shall follow reasonable procedures to ass

ure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates according to 15 USC 1681 ( e ) ( b ). Additionally, according to 15 USC 1681 5 the consumer reporting ag ency is supposed to do this in reference to ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information. ( A ) In general, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or
incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall : ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

Also, according to 15 USC 1681s-2 the consumer reporting agency is not supposed to furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

The information on this account is inaccurate and I am requesting for it to be removed from my credit report according to the laws of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

I received a letter at my current address requesting debt repayment in the amount of {$330.00} from ERC. I ignored it initially thinking that it was a scam until I seen it more than once and checked my credit report to see that it was indeed on there. 

I sent a certified letter to ERC on XXXX XXXX, 2017 requesting verification of this account. Not my surprise I, the debt was not verified. Instead, I received a printout on XXXX XXXX, 2017 with the amount requested but, with a XXXX logo. 

I mailed another certified letter to ERC on XXXX XXXX, 2017, requesting verification of this account once again. I included a copy of all original documents and requested for more details than some printout. On XXXX XXXX, 2017, I received the same exact system generated cover letter again and this time it was two invoice printouts. The first printout was the same as last requesting {$330.00} and then the other was for {$770.00}. 

Instead of spending {$7.00} to send another certified letter requesting verification, I 've decided to move forward with assistance. Thus far, I 've recently complained to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and CFPB. I do n't have anymore patience for this company and their lack of regard to the damage that this company is imposing on my life and without any verification. We all know how important credit is these days. At minimum, this company should be able to provide substantial detail about the accounts that are placed on consumer credit reports. This is totally unacceptable.

On Monday XX/XX/XXXX I requested a credit limit increase with Home Depot Citi credit card. It was approved no problem however a credit inquiry was put on my XXXX  report without my consent. I did this online and know where did it warn me about a hard inquiry on my report was going to appear. I discovered this inquiry Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX and immediately called Home Depot who was unhelpful. The gentleman on the phone said he honestly didn't know if it said on the website anything about a hard inquiry or not and directed me to contact XXXX  to dispute directly with them. I have filed a dispute but am very upset right now about this hard inquiry. Number one I've submitted credit increases to my other credit cards and I have never had a hard inquiry. Number to if you're going to do a hard inquiry typically it is at least somewhere where you can see in XXXX to warn you about a hard inquiry. If Home Depot was going to do a hard inquiry I would have not submitted for the credit increase plain and simple. Due to the fact this was not posted anywhere when I went to inquire for a credit increase now my credit report has suffered a decrease. I take my credit very seriously and want something done about this.
