Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to has verified these. 

Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in Cushman v TransUnion, Stevenson v. TRW ( XXXX ), and Richardson v. Fleet, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to reiterate my dispute regarding the following accounts, which contain inaccurate and unverifiable information. Over the past five months, I have sent multiple dispute letters to your agency, all of which are dated and time-stamped, demonstrating a clear paper trail of my efforts to resolve these issues. My most recent correspondence, dated XX/XX/XXXX, specifically noted four disputed accounts that remain unverified by the original creditors. Below are the details of the disputed accounts and the reasons for their inaccuracy : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX This is not my account. I was informed that the primary owner of this account is XXXX XXXX, not me. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX The date last active is incorrect, and there is no balance due. The correct date last active was in XXXX. This discrepancy renders the information unreliable and must be removed immediately. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The original creditor could not locate any information regarding this account, and I have no obligation to the collection agency. This is a clear violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and must be removed. XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX The date last active and balance are both inaccurate, making this account unverifiable and subject to removal. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the FDCPA, you are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and remove any information that can not be verified or is found to be inaccurate. If these accounts are not removed immediately, I will have no choice but to move forward with litigation to protect my rights. This letter serves as your final opportunity to resolve this matter before further legal action is taken.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "

The aforementioned accounts, collections, and chargeoffs appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
