Consumer complaint received 02/17/2017 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (VA).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: After disputing the following debts with Experian 2 times they have come back as saying verified but have shown no proof of how this debt was verified there are strict requirements how debt must be verified IAW the FCRA. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires the Credit Bureaus ( XXXX ) to have PHYSICAL COPIES in THEIR files of documentation to support each account being reported. NOT THE CREDITOR, THE BUREAU! 

Under the FCRA, Credit Reporting Agencies ( EXPERIAN ) must provide a copy of the verifiable original creditor documentation if it is requested properly by the consumer. Since XXXX can not provide proof of verification to me in the form of a physical contract document per my written request to do so - the account is classified as " UNVERIFIED '' and under the FCRA -all UNVERIFIED accounts MUST BE DELETED. 

*The FCRA requires that all Credit Reporting Agencies or " CRA 's '' VERIFY ALL INFORMATION received from creditors BEFORE this information is added to my credit file. Proper Verification According to case law : the CRA/Bureau must have copies of the ORIGINAL SIGNED APPLICATION in THEIR FILES!

Conditions and form of disclosure to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681h ] ( Page 45, FCRA ) ( a ) In General ( 1 ) Proper identification.

( 2 ) Disclosure in writing. Except as provided in subsection ( b ), the disclosures required to be made under section 609 [ 1681g ] shall be provided under that section in writing.
