Numerous laws were broken under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by your company and Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), and several other federal violations. I have suffered from advertising inaccurate, incomplete, erroneous, and misleading information that has caused severe damage to my character, my reputation, my general mode of living, and my ability to obtain credit for personal and home purposes. You and your inaccurate reporting have destroyed my livelihood. You have caused my son and me, severe harm due to the negligence and inaccurate advertising on my consumer report. I am thoroughly exhausted of your XXXX. Between being a single father raising a XXXX XXXX, maintaining the household through a pandemic with inflation at an all-time high, I do NOT have the time for your XXXX. You are breaking federal law. On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed out my first correspondence to you putting you on notice of accounts being advertised on my consumer report, I specifically asked for a method of certification, and I did not consent to XXXX XXXX Compliance or Automated Dispute System or an Automated reinvestigation System. Meaning, I do NOT consent to an impartial investigation through a click of a button or other automated systems. I DEMAND, as a consumer an impartial, thorough, and accurate investigation be conducted to not only find what happened to the funds I sent Bridgecrest but why are you willfully furnishing inaccurate information on my consumer credit profile? After thirty ( 30 ) days of sending out my first correspondence, I did not hear anything from you, at all, it is my understanding not only is that a federal violation but pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), it specifically states, A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. On XX/XX/XXXX, I put you on notice as a data furnisher, you are incorrectly reporting information to the Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) and any affiliations along with a delinquent payment, and a remaining balance. Through my first correspondence, I attached confirmation of XXXX XXXX Money Order and checks payable and sent directly to Bridgecrest throughout multiple dates. Furthermore according to Congress, pursuant to 15 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( b ), A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ; and ; ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate. Ive had a relationship with purchasing my first automobile. It was totaled, meaning total loss, and after several attempts by XXXX, Bridgecrest had my automobile insurance listed as XXXX XXXX with the primary contact from XXXX XXXX named XXXX. Furthermore, Bridgecrest incorrectly showed the vehicle, not as a total loss, but only as an impound, and thus fraudulently contacted a repossession company when I was making payments on a car that was a total loss. Furthermore, Bridgecrest fraudulently allocated the check presented to them by a representative of XXXX to the premium instead of the actual balance. Furthermore, Bridgecrest and XXXX XXXX XXXX fraudulently sold the car as salvaged, when it was completely totaled and beyond repair. 

There are numerous federal violations. Now, Congres explicitly states, In 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( 1 ), The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So vital in fact, more than 200 million Americans have credit files, and lenders rely on this information to decide whether to approve loans and on what terms. Consumer reporting also informs decisions about employment, insurance, housing, and even essential utilities. For consumers, inaccuracies on credit reports drive up the cost of credit and severely limit opportunities, such as starting a small business or buying a new home. Not only are you breaking federal law, but you are also undermining the efficiency of the banking system and the troubled economy. 
Furthermore, pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( f ) ( e ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), I have NEVER given my written instruction to neither ( You ) nor any of the CRAs. It is my understanding you shall not advertise what is on my consumer credit report if put on notice and made aware that the information is inaccurate by a consumer, it is your moral and legal obligation, I demand you correct all details as stated in my written correspondence. The continued report of this information is a clear violation of federal law, 15 U.S. Code Subchapter III, throughout parts.

During the investigative process, if conducted at all, and following my requests ; what neighbors, friends, or associates as stipulated in 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( e ) ; who did you speak to regarding the false information youre advertising on my consumer report?
