This company violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to adequately investigate dispute claims on my account. The company also made it exceedingly difficult to update my information and remove inaccuracies, even though they aren't mine.

The date they contacted the creditors XXXX. The contact information for the creditors XXXX. The name of the person who verified the item ( XXXX ) for them XXXX. The method of communication they used to verify this information XXXX. Did the creditor provide them with my SSN, address, agreement signature, and Date of Birth? 

They have inadequately represented my credit file for over a decade and it is unfair for me to continue to suffer due to negligent, inaccurate, and unfair credit reporting.
