XXXX. Dissemination of False Information to Third Parties : Inaccurate credit information has been shared with third parties, causing significant harm to her financial standing and reputation. I have months of previous filings that my client made to correct her credit report to her failed attempts after providing proof. In review of correspondence from Transunion Consumer Solution, XXXX Credit Bureau, and XXXX Credit Bureau, to my client it appears that there is a pattern of the same jargon of claim to have verified the debt, which appears to be false. Contacting creditors and asking them to match up numbers in their database is not sufficient verification for identity of items placed on my credit report by Transunion Consumer Solution, XXXX Credit Bureau, and XXXX Credit Bureau. Different addresses, different names that are not hers. 
These violations have caused my client substantial economic loss, including lost financial opportunities such as the inability to secure loans and credit at favorable terms. In addition, XXXX XXXX has suffered severe mental distress, including anxiety and emotional trauma directly attributable to the mishandling of her credit information. We will work directly with the CFPB in getting the negative items removed and a credit score updated as far back as we have evidence to prove our case.
