Consumer complaint received 2023-05-02
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: LEXISNEXIS (GA)

There is a bankruptcy Inaccuracy reporting to my consumer report. I disputed this directly with Lexis Nexis on XX/XX/23. After their investigation Lexis Nexis stated the bankruptcy was verified with XXXX and will remain reporting. 

While XXXX is a public records site, it is not managed by the Courts and the information uploaded is not verified or validated. There have been discrepancies with XXXX before and continue to be in the present. 

Additionally, pacer Is NOT the original furnisher of information. XXXX bankruptcy court-Atl is listed as the original furnisher of this information and per LAW ( shown below ) the disputed information must be provided to them to validate/ verify as accurate. 

Included with my previous dispute was a certified letter directly from XXXX, stating they do not provide information to credit bureaus or third parties. This completely cancels Lexis Nexis claim that XXXX certified this bankruptcy information as accurate. 

Lexis Nexis Failed to contact the original furnisher of information. This dispute was never properly verified. 

Per law this account MUST be removed from my credit file because it could not be legally verified before the end of the 30-day period of which Lexis Nexis Received my dispute.
