I submitted a dispute on XX/XX/2023 with the consumer reporting agencies and asked for a reinvestigation on XX/XX/2023. The company/consumer reporting agencies responded that the information was valid and accurate. This account can not be accurate. The account still shows the inaccurate date of last activity. This account should be removed because my rights have been violated. The accounts are also missing the notice of dispute. This is a violation of my rights and per the law I am entitled to {$1000.00} per violation.
