You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 
Please be advised that your company continues to report these unverifiable and incomplete items. These accounts can be considered falsified revenue and illegal by the IRS due to the fact these said accounts have been written off as a tax deduction.

Complaint narrative:
Today, XX/XX/year>, I tried to lock my Experian credit report/file online. But when I selected the option to lock my account I received the following message " Your Experian credit file is unlocked ''. There was a button underneath the statement that said " Upgrade to unlock your file ''. This means I would have to pay to lock my file which I won't due because by law they are supposed to lock my file for free.

when I called Experian Customer service to complain and ask about the problem, I only spoke to a chatbot. I asked the chatbot to speak to a representative but it told me that it's only allowed to put me through to a " Specialist '' under certain circumstances but it wouldn't tell me what the circumstances are! I spent more than half an hour trying to get through to a REAL person but was unsuccessful.

This XXXX Charge Off balance is XXXX percent late fees and interest on a CLOSED ACCOUNT. I will never shop at XXXX again because of the unethical bank they use to manage their credit card.
