Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I mailed out my disputes to each of the credit reporting agencies requesting that validation of two collection accounts that appeared on my reports. I sent each dispute through USPS Certified mail with tracking and signature upon receipt. XXXX received my dispute on XX/XX/year> at XXXX XXXX according to the tracking. Experian received my dispute on XX/XX/year> XXXXXXXX XXXX according to the traciking. The Dispute that was mailed to XXXX was lost in the mail so I sent out a new dispute on XX/XX/year> also using certified mail and that dispute was received on XX/XX/year> at XXXX according to USPS tracking.In this dispute I requested that each CRA verify the validity of two collection accounts listed on my credit report. the collection accounts are owned by XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX first account being in the amount of {$5300.00} and the next in the amount of {$1600.00}. I formally requested that they investigate the accuracy of these collection accounts and provide me with all pertinent information gathered during the verification process. That would entail but is not limited to : XXXX. Verification of the debt amount and its validity.

2. Documentation showing the original creditor and the nature of the debt. 
3. Proof of any agreements or contracts that authorize XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect on behalf of the original creditor. 
4. Any other relevant information related to the account in question. 
Furthermore, I requested that all correspondence regarding this matter be conducted through certified mail with a signed receipt to ensure proper documentation and delivery. I also included in the dispute that under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is my right to request verification of any disputed items on my credit report and I expected a thorough investigation and prompt response within the time frame mandated by law. Each CRA " completed '' their " investigation '' no less than a week and did not conduct a full investigation on these accounts nor was I contacted or sent any feedback in regards to the validation of these said debts. I also have a document directly from one of the reported collection accounts ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) that has a different account number than the one that is being reported to the credit bureaus and when I called and reported this to XXXX and Experian, it was " investigated '' and still verified as accurate which is in direct violation of consumer law and is subject to a civil action. I have given the CRA 's ample time to do their investigation and nothing was done about it. I want these accounts removed immediately due to the CRA 's violation of reporting inaccurate and damaging information to my credit reports all while reporting it as " verified ''
