Stat . 501.204 ( 1 ), 501.203 ( 3 ) ( c ), 501.976 ( 11 ) I am formally disputing the bankruptcy public record reported solely by XXXX, listed as Bankruptcy : Discharged XXXX with a file date of XX/XX/year> and reference number XXXX. This entry is incomplete, lacking supporting information such as the court name, date of discharge, liability amount, and asset information, while neither XXXX  nor XXXX  report this bankruptcy at all. Reporting an isolated, unverified, and incomplete bankruptcy record violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires that information included in a credit file be accurate, complete, and verifiable. The lack of reporting by the other two major credit bureaus raises concerns about whether XXXX  has independently verified this record with the original source as required under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Additionally, under Florida Statute 559.72 ( 9 ) of the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act ( FCCPA ), it is illegal to claim, attempt, or threaten to enforce a debt that is not legitimate, or to knowingly disseminate inaccurate information regarding a consumer debt. If the record has been discharged and is now past its relevance period, or is being reported with missing or misleading details ( such as a lack of settled/discharge date or court verification ), continued inclusion may unfairly impact my creditworthiness and constitute both a federal and state violation. I am requesting that this bankruptcy entry be either fully removed or corrected to include all required factual elements and verifications. Please complete your reinvestigation in accordance with FCRA 1681i and provide written confirmation of the outcome. XXXX US BKPT CT XXXX XXXXXXXX Violations : FCRA : 1681e ( b ), 1681i ( a ), 1681g, 1681s-2 ( b ), 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), 1681c ( a ) FDCPA : 1692g ( a ), 1692g ( b ), 1692e ( 8 ), 1692d GLBA : 6801 ( b ), 6802 ( a ) Metro 2 : Reporting format violations FL Law : Fla. Stat . 501.204 ( 1 ), 501.203 ( 3 ) ( c ), 501.976 ( 11 ) I am disputing the bankruptcy public record reported solely by XXXX, originating from U.S. Bankruptcy Court XXXX, FL, with file date XX/XX/year>, reference number XXXX, and discharge date XX/XX/year>. This entry appears to be incomplete and inconsistently reported. Neither XXXX  nor XXXX  report this record, and the XXXX  entry lacks key verification details such as the bankruptcy type ( only stated in text ), official court information, and explanatory remarks. Reporting a bankruptcy in isolation without full substantiating details violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information included in a consumers file. In addition, the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act ( FCCPA ) under Fla. Stat. 559.72 ( 9 ) prohibits the dissemination of inaccurate or misleading information about a consumers debt or legal history. Reporting a bankruptcy without full contextsuch as omitting that it has been fully discharged with no outstanding liabilitymay unfairly imply ongoing financial risk to creditors and create misleading impressions of insolvency. I am requesting a reinvestigation under FCRA 1681i ( a ) and that this record either be fully deleted or corrected to include complete and verifiable data, including explicit clarification that the debt was discharged and that no further liability exists. Please provide written confirmation of the outcome.
