I have Disputed these Accounts on my Consumer Credit Profile. 
the investigation took longer than 30 days to receive a response from them. 
i have pointed on several inaccuracies on my credit profile that where incorrect in complete and inaccurate. 
this agency has improperly conducted a investigation. they failed to disclose to me the full scope of their investigation. in how they found these accounts verified and accurate when in fact they are not. i have made this agency aware that the creditors furnishing this data. have failed to provide proof of good complaint furnishing and collection practices. according to Title 15 Chapter 41.

there are several billing errors being reported.

and accounts i do not recognize. as well as Violations to my consumer rights.

these accounts violated the United States Code Law ( TILA 15 U.S Code 1666 ( b ) billing error ) Recently, I checked my credit report and noticed multiple billing errors under 15 U.S Code 1666 ( b ) billing error -- - ( 4 ) The creditors failure to reflect properly on a statement a payment made by the obligor or a credit issued to the obligor. 
( 5 ) A computation error or similar error of the accounting nature of the creditor on a statement. 
the accounts didnt notify me 21 days before with a statement so there should be no late payments on these accounts. I demand to see hard solid proof from the creditor bank account that I didnt pay and was marked late because this is clearly a billing error.
