The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. 


I told XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax to reinvestigate these accounts : However, they stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify accounts that aren't reporting correctly. 

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.
