" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

To ensure that your company is reporting accounts 100 % accurately, I would like to know the procedures used to investigate these inaccurate accounts. Did you even conduct an investigation because it is still not reporting 100 % correctly? 

Its sad that your company would ignore the FTC guidelines in regard to your investigation efforts. I wonder if other consumers are being affected by your lack of investigation. I would like to know to whom you talked with at the collectors office when you started your investigation? Also, please send me their complete address. In addition, please do not send your template letter on how you conduct an investigation. I want details on how you did this.

I wasted money on mailing my disputes out.I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

I am writing to formally complain about the inaccurate and misleading reporting of my accounts by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX. Despite my previous disputes, the following issues remain unresolved : Double Reporting by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting this account twice on my credit report, which is a clear violation of my consumer rights and highly misleading. 
Lack of Proper Verification for Disputed Accounts : Accounts : XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( multiple instances ) These accounts were previously disputed and came back as verified. However, I did not receive any method of verification supporting these findings, which is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Violations of FCRA : FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information. The failure to provide a method of verification indicates that a reasonable investigation was not conducted.

FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Prohibits furnishers of information from reporting information they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. XXXX XXXX 's double reporting and XXXX 's unverifiable accounts are in direct violation of this provision.

It has been more than 30 days since I filed this dispute and I have not received any proper information that's there has been a Theral investigation. My identity has been at risked because of this company inaccurate reporting and has been destroying my reputation. I have not given XXXX, XXXX or Experian any order to furnish these reports and I have never consent to these reports in the beginning. This would be considered identity theft. 

I would like to request the collection be removed. These reports are impacting me negatively which makes it extremely hard to get a vehicle for me and my family. I would like to request proof of any written authorization each credit reporting company has received from these creditors showing that I have made consent to these authorizations and that they investigate in good faith. XXXX has been giving more than enough time to conduct a proper investigation to validate the account and has failed. I demand that this account along the others should be removed immediately. 

1681i ( A.5 ) says that after the reinvestigations... all of the unverified information must promptly be removed. You can see in your system that this account was previously disputed without being thoroughly investigated thus I know that it can not be verified or validated. '' Pursuant To 18 USC 8, I Owe no debt, this company is violating my consumer right to privacy pursuant to 15 USC 1681b 2.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> ) to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX XXXXNever Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Despite my initial request, the following accounts remain on my report without proper verification : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX - Balance : {$46000.00} - Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX - Balance : {$320.00} - Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX - XXXX : {$130.00} - Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX - Account Number : XXXX - Balance : {$0.00} - Opened : XX/XX/XXXX According to your previous correspondence, you stated that these accounts were " verified. '' I request detailed documentation proving the verification process, including : - The documents used for verification. 
- The name, business address, and phone number of the individual who verified these accounts. 
- A sworn affidavit or deposition confirming the truthfulness and accuracy of the verification. 

As defined by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, " Verify '' means " to prove to be true ; to confirm or establish the truth or truthfulness of ; to authenticate. '' This requires the production of documents in your files proving these accounts belong to me and that the reported information is accurate. Furthermore, someone within your company must have firsthand knowledge of these accounts and authenticate them under oath. 

Federal case law mandates that Consumer Reporting Agencies must ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report, which involves more than merely parroting information from other sources. A reinvestigation that shifts the burden back to the consumer and credit grantor does not meet the obligations imposed by 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ).

Since you have failed to provide the requested documents, it indicates you either did not or can not verify these accounts. According to Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA, you must " promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. '' If you do not comply, I will pursue litigation for negligent noncompliance under Section 617 of the FCRA. I demand immediate verification or deletion of the accounts listed above. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
