Subject : Request for Reinvestigation and Detailed Description of Verification Methods Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the handling of my credit report dispute by credit agency. Despite my efforts to resolve inaccuracies on my credit report, I have encountered several issues that I believe warrant further investigation by the CFPB. 
Background : On [ XX/XX/year> ], I submitted a dispute to regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. The items in question were not properly verified, yet the agency concluded that the information was accurate. I am concerned about the thoroughness and accuracy of their reinvestigation process. 
Details of the Complaint : 1. Inadequate Verification Process : Despite my detailed dispute, the credit reporting agency failed to verify the accuracy of the disputed information adequately. The verification process seems to lack transparency and thoroughness, which raises concerns about its compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
2. Lack of Detailed Verification Methods : I requested a detailed description of the verification methods used by the credit reporting agency, including the specific procedures, sources consulted, documentation reviewed, and criteria for validation. However, this information has not been provided, despite multiple requests. 
3. Timeline of Investigation : There is a lack of clarity on the timeline of the investigation, including key dates and actions taken during the process. This lack of transparency hinders my ability to understand how the investigation was conducted and whether it adhered to FCRA requirements.

You have listed incorrect accounts that should not be reflecting on my credit report at all. Not only is this really unfair for me, but also very troublesome, as I have never committed or made any of the things you're claiming I did. Investigate these accounts or I will see to it that I will pursue legal actions.

This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon, and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties, and I did not participate in any of it. More so they didn't follow the proper 5 step validation procedure which make these unfair practices. According to the FDCPA Im entitled to 1,000 dollars per violation and clearly, they violated my rights.

I am sure you are aware that it is against the law to threaten suit without any intention of doing so. Therefore, be advised that I am extremely serious about filing suit against your company. I have sent numerous letters requesting for you to investigate and remove all inaccurate information that is being reported on my personal credit profile, yet you continue to fail to do so. 
It is my understanding of the law that you MUST honor each and every request to investigate incorrect information and you seem to have ignored all of my previous requests. That is a crystal clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act which provides a cause of action for an individual consumer as well as penalties and liabilities for both consumer reporting agencies and furnishers of information for non-compliance as violation of its provisions

I did not consent to authorize the sharing of my non-public information. The reporting of the information is NOT fair and equitable to me as the consumer. 
15 USC 1681 section 602 A states I have the right to privacy.

15 USC 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 
15 U.S.C 1681c. ( a ) ( 5 ) Section States : no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. 
15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not 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. 
Also, they aren't even in compliance with Metro 2 credit reporting. 
I have evidence to prove my case!
