Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida XXXX SS # : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX Re : This is not a regular dispute. Take action immediately you are in violation. 

Its very obvious that your agency doesnt know what the FCRA is because from the looks of my credit report and all the errors i see you are disregarding it so heres my breakdown.

1.The Fair Credit Reporting Act is the primary federal law that governs the collection and reporting of credit information about consumers. Its rules cover how a consumer 's credit information is obtained, how long it is kept, and how it is shared with othersincluding consumers themselves.

2. What is a FCRA violation?

Creditors give reporting agencies inaccurate financial information about you. Reporting agencies mixing up one person 's information with another 's because of similar ( or same ) last name or social security number. Agencies fail to follow guidelines for handling disputes.
