I missed two payments on my [ XXXX Credit Card ] XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. As per the terms of the agreement, these missed payments was reported to the credit bureaus, affecting my credit score and making it difficult for me to obtain credit in the future.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint narrative:
Based on the documentation from XXXX XXXX which states, If you have concerns that a record has been erroneously matched to you and included in your credit report, please contact XXXX to correct the error. XXXX does not match bankruptcy information to consumer credit files for XXXX. XXXX performs this matching. 
Please explain how your company adheres to, 611 5 ( A ) which explains, Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information. ( A ) In general. If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall delete that item of information from the consumer 's file or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation. Please advise who did your Consumer Reporting Agency speak to at the US Bankruptcy court to verify, update, correct, or modify the bankruptcy listed on my credit report is accurate? 
I ask this question because my credit report explicitly states your company got the information from a third party ( XXXX XXXX ) and therefore it may not be accurate. Did a representative of your Consumer Reporting Agency travel or speak to the New Jersey Bankruptcy Court and verify, modify, update, or correct the information in person? 
Please include the documents showing the bankruptcy is in fact accurate, updated, correct, and verified including the entire docket showing this action based upon the law. Please explain how your Consumer Reporting Agency intends to modify the information in the bankruptcy filing. Can your Consumer Reporting Agency modify the information in the XXXX Database that XXXX XXXX used? Can your Consumer Reporting Agency modify the information in the State, Federal or Public records related to the bankruptcy? 
Per the US Bankruptcy Court, they do not modify, verify, or update the information for Consumers or Consumer Reporting Agencies. Please advise and share in writing the workflow and documents in place to open the docket to update, modify, verify dispute, and correct information on my behalf with the US Bankruptcy Court as a Consumer Reporting Agency. Please advise why they are listed as a furnisher on my credit report when they dont provide this information.
