Under Section 1681s-2 ( b ) of the FCRA, when a furnisher receives a consumer dispute forwarded by a consumer reporting agency, the furnisher must conduct an investigation to determine whether the disputed information can be verified. If the evidence available to the furnisher is inconclusivei.e., if the investigation is unable to determine whether the disputed information is accurate or notthen the FCRA does not allow a furnisher to report back to the consumer reporting agency that its investigation verified the accuracy of that information. Even if no reasonable investigation could have conclusively determined that the information was false, the fact remains that the information has not been verified and must be handled accordingly. In particular, Section 1681s-2 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( E ) provides that when disputed information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the furnisher must, as appropriate, delete, modify, or permanently cease reporting the disputed information. The appropriate response is the one that will ensure that the furnisher does not continue to report any of the XXXX XXXX, Document 74, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, Page17 of 35 14 information that the consumer has disputed unless that information is verifiably accurate. Thus, any information that can not be verified should be deleted from the data that the furnisher submits to consumer reporting agencies. Moreover XXXX still has NOT PROVIDED PROOF. Please remove the above inaccurate information.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a renewal letter for my renter 's policy from my insurance company, XXXX XXXX XXXX - Underwritten by : XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX. I have had this same policy across multiple addresses over the past five years with the rate remaining the same. In fact, the newest address that was covered under this policy, saw a reduction in the policy premium for XXXX. However, within this renewal, my yearly policy premium went from {$250.00} to {$320.00} - a 26.5 % increase. I called XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about the drastic change in premium. I spoke with XXXX, who at first claimed it was because of the address change. However, when I informed her that there was actually a credit to my account with the new address, she told me it was due to the " consumer report information. '' XXXX directed me to call Trans Union Corporation, Consumer Relations - East at XXXX to receive a copy of the same report they based their increase in premiums on. Later the same day on XX/XX/XXXX, I called Trans Union and spoke with XXXX. I asked XXXX for the report that XXXX pulled. He assured me that I would receive the same copy that XXXX pulled on XX/XX/XXXX. However, when I received the report on XX/XX/XXXX, it was dated XX/XX/XXXX - the date when I called and spoke with XXXX. I then called Trans Union back on XX/XX/XXXX and asked to speak with a supervisor. I was transferred to supervisor, XXXX, who informed me that they could not provide me with the same report that XXXX used in their decision to raise my rates.

Equifax ; XXXX  and XXXX  are reporting incorrectly a collection/charge-off in the amount of {$2300.00} on the XXXX/XXXX  and THE BUREAUS partial account numbers XXXX. ( Please see pages attached from my credit report. ) First, these are the same accounts being reported in duplicate. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Second, I purchased the manufacture warranty on the furniture. ( I have attached a copy of the warranty. ) The furniture was defective and returned under the warranty period. There is no outstanding debt on this account. I was not aware there was a collection until I obtained my most recent credit report. This false reporting of a collection/charge-off is seriously harming my credit score and this line item needs to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the bureaus to remove this however, I have not been successful.
