I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, have gathered all this information for litigation to file lawsuits and seek jury trial on this matter against the credit bureaus and this company that is making money off me while maintaining my credit in the ruins and selling my information to third parties. After reviewing my credit reports I noticed that XXXX XXXX  are alleging that I owed an amount of {$7900.00} to them without furnishing any proof of verification of this debt or that they followed all laws and regulations to report. I have continuously reached out to discuss this matter and XXXX XXXX  has denied all communications with me and never responded within the time frame required by law. Pursuant to 1692g, i requested the Method of Verification for the said account and XXXX XXXX  failed to comply as well in a timely manner. This is in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). This is not a request for a reinvestigation of the previous dispute. Account Number : XXXX

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

First and foremost per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer i am now opting out any & all authorization i the consumer may have given DEPT OF EDUCATION/XXXX written , unwritten, verbal & non verbal per 15 USC 6802, 16 CFR 313.7 - Form of opt out notice to consumers ; opt out methods. 


When I signed up for my student loans I also signed a Educational Rights and Privacy Act form that says the school will NOT provide transaction history to ANY third party companies. 

BUT in fact my personal information is being shared to third parties WITHOUT my consent. 

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act 1974 ( FERPA ) ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ; 34 CFR Part 99 ) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. 


Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student 's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions ( 34 CFR 99.31 ) : School officials with legitimate educational interest ; Other schools to which a student is transferring ; Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes ; Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student ; Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school ; Accrediting organizations ; To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena ; Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies ; and State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law. 


AS YOU CAN SEE HERE YOU DO NOT SEE WHERE A CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY LISTED to allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions ( 34 CFR 99.31 ) Schools may disclose, without consent, " directory '' information such as a student 's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification ( special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article ) is left to the discretion of each school.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against the credit bureaus XXXX, TransUnion and XXXX regarding their lack of response to my dispute letters. Despite my diligent efforts to resolve the issues, I have not received any acknowledgement or response within the required timeframes stipulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). To provide some background, I initiated the dispute process on XX/XX/XXXX by sending dispute letters to the credit bureaus listed below : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX In my dispute letters, I clearly outlined the specific errors and inaccuracies present on my credit reports and provided all necessary supporting documentation.

I would like these addresses deleted, but Im being ignored. The non-responsiveness of the credit bureau has had a significant impact on me. Its causing damage to my credit report and Im constantly being ignored by lenders. In light of the credit bureaus ' failure to address my dispute in a timely and appropriate manner, I kindly request the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in investigating this matter. I would appreciate it if you could intervene on my behalf to ensure that the credit bureaus promptly respond to my dispute and rectify any errors or inaccuracies on my credit reports. I have attached copies of the dispute letters I sent to the credit bureau. These documents provide a comprehensive record of my efforts to resolve this issue directly. Should you require any further information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I sincerely hope that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can help bring about a timely resolution and restore the accuracy of my credit reports.

On XX/XX/XXXX, the credit card account was closed without my knowledge. I only obtained this information when I called to make XXXX 's payment and was transferred to the collections department. Collection manager, XXXX, explained that the indirect lender manager, XXXX, closed the account, apparently due to XXXX and myself having a disagreement. To talk about my account, I have to talk to the collection department. I have never missed a payment or been late. Personal reasons should not be a professional reason to close my revolving account that is paid exemplary every month, which would continue to help build my credit.
