I have communicated with EXPERIAN on a few occasions relating to the XXXX of a Bankruptcy on my credit report. Experian has confirmed that they are reporting such information ( Please see attachment ). I had requested for Experian to Immediately stop and to Delete the Bankruptcy information. They have declined to do so. 

This Bankruptcy information that is being furnished and reported on my credit report is in Violation of the following laws and Must be Deleted immediately or XXXX Business days as described in the following : Under XXXX. XXXX XXXX, A consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and NO other with the Written instructions from the XXXX ( the consumer ) to whom it relates. Which means if Experian goes to XXXX XXXX or any other agency for My Consumer Report, they must have 'written permission ', that is Law XXXX

XXXX and Experian, these are persons, these are corporations, they are going to another consumer reporting agency like XXXX XXXX to obtain information about a XXXX ( consumer ) under false pretenses. Well that sounds to me like the definition of identity theft.
