I sent in a dispute for accounts that do not belong to me! I sent this letter to the bureaus over XXXX XXXX XXXX  I began trying to obtain a home for my family and was denied due to XXXX  information present on my credit reports. Since I noticed the incorrect information and accounts I got in contact with all the bureaus, which they then told me to submit my disputes through writing. I have been spending my time and money to submit these disputes to the bureaus and yet they do not provide me with any proof of ownership on ANY of the disputed accounts. I feel TARGETED and ATTACKED by these bureaus that are suppose to help consumers! The bureaus equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  are also blatantly breaking the law by taking over XXXX XXXX to investigate my dispute and by reflecting accounts on my credit report that are inaccurate and inconsistent. They are in direct violation of FCRA 605!! And the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681g! The accounts I disputed are showing inaccurate Last Active Date, Payment History, high limit amount, date opened, payment history are all NOT reporting the same across all bureaus and this is NOT Metro 2 complaint, a regulation that all bureaus NEED to follow. I beg you please help me correct these issues because it is truly unfair that I am not able to obtain a home for my family like others can. I am starting to feel that because I am XXXX American I am being targeted and not being allowed to progress because they are placing these inaccurate accounts on my consumer report!! l
