Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, YOU BROKE THE LAW!!!

Pursuant to 15 USC 16814 ( a ) ( 1 ) the banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting information. This inaccurate information was furnished, and I was not notified when during the investigation process.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) This grave error undermined my confidence in your companies procedures, and as a result of this I will no longer extend credit and want these items removed IMMEDITLEY.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) Your company is a powerhouse elaborate mechanism. This mishap that your company has caused has ruined my reputation, and it has adversity my credit worthiness.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ) Your company assumes this role. You were not given permission by me, the consumer, or a competent court of jurisdiction. Not only did you fail the initial investigation of this information, you also assumed this role, and assumed this information was valid. Which is a violation of my consumer rights.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) You did not insure the information is accurate and you did not exercise your grave responsibility with fairness and impartiality. You took one side of the story, never consulted with me to find out if this transaction even took place. As a result of this my privacy was breached, and violated my right to privacy. 
( SEE EXHIBIT A ) Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( a ) ( I ) Congress makes it clear that a consumer report should not include transactions between the consumer and the person making the report. The alleged transactions that you are reporting are false and have failed to investigate, weather or not it factually took place between the consumer, and the person making the report. Which means it should not be included in my consumer report and in fact is a violation of my consumer rights.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) In the initial investigation I was never given the opportunity to deny this information being communicated on my consumer report. This is in fact another violation.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( B ) Any authorization of a specific extension of a credit or credit card or similar device should be excluded from my consumer report. This alleged transaction that your company clearly did not investigate is categorized as a transaction that was issued from a credit card. Credit as defined as 15 USC 1602 ( 1 ) Therefore I am requesting IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF ALL ITEMS FROM MY CONSUMER RFEPORT ACCORDING TO EXHIBIT A EXHIBIT A XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Equifax Account # : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Type : Revolving Revolving Revolving Account Type - Detail : Credit Card Credit Card XXXX XXXX XXXX : Individual Individual Individual Account Status : Derogatory Derogatory Derogatory Monthly Payment : {$0.00} {$0.00} {$0.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$5800.00} {$5800.00} {$5800.00} No. of Months ( terms ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX High Credit : {$5800.00} {$0.00} {$5800.00} Credit Limit : {$5000.00} {$5000.00} {$0.00} Past Due : {$5800.00} {$5800.00} {$5800.00} Payment Status : Collection/Chargeoff Collection/Chargeoff Collection/Chargeoff Last Reported : XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Comments : Charged off as bad debt Dispute resolved; reported by grantor Account was in dispute - now resolved - reported by subscriber.
