XX/XX/2021 Dear, CFPB & To Whom It may concerned I obtained my credit report from XXXX and there were U.S. Bankrupcty Court listed. For the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If LCI Financial Consultant can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said Information from consumer credit file.

The county Recorder of Deeds and Bankrupcty Courts have both mailed me letters which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, and/or other third parties providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U.S. Court system due to Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. 
My inquiry to the County Recorder of Deeds and U.S. Bankrupcty Courts confirmed XXXX Credit Bureau has never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they have ever be by them. They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering the information indicating a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation, I need all tax lien and Bankrupcty information currently showing under my social security number to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately. 
You needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these Public Record Accounts bearing either a court order to place this information in my credit report, or my authorization of release bearing my signature. In the meantime, to be in full compliance with the FCRA laws and guidelines, all information listed under Public Records needs to be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my name and social security number. Be further advised that I am closely monitoring my credit file. Per the Federal Law, you have exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) Per the Federal Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), you are required by federal law to verifythrough physical verification of the original signed consumer contract and/or judgement ( s ) all accounts and public information that you post on anyones credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, email in fraudulent and erroneous account information. As such, if this unauthorized public record information is not deleted from my credit report within the next 30 days, I will be filling a compliant to the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 
Failure to respond in a satisfactory manner within 30 days of receipt of this certified letter will result in a small claims action against the XXXX Credit Reporting Bureau. I will be seeking no less than {$5000.00} in damages for, but not limited to : 1 ) Defamation ; 2 ) Negligent Enhancement of Identity Fraud ; 3 ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
