Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter on XX/XX/2022. Here is my tracking number XXXX However the credit bureaus said they completed the investigation and everything was 100 % accurate. 

I obtained my credit report on line. There was a XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy XXXX item listed on my credit reports. Per the FCRA XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. 
XXXX XXXX Recorder of Deeds and the Bankruptcy XXXX have both mailed me letters which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the XXXX XXXX XXXX system due to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX PRIVACY LAW. 
My inquiry to XXXX XXXX Recorder of Deeds and XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy XXXX confirmed that you have never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they 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 XXXX, 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 XXXX and bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately. 
Please provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these XXXX XXXX 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 the information listed under XXXX XXXX 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 XXXX XXXX, you have exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ). 
Per the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( a ), you are required by federal law to verify through physical verification of the original signed consumer contract and/or judgment ( XXXX ) 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 filing a complaint 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 TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX. I will be seeking no less than {$5000.00} in damages for, but not limited to : XXXX ) Defamation ; XXXX ) Negligent Enhancement of Identity Fraud ; XXXX ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
