Complaint narrative:
I am deeply disturbed by the credit bureaus undermining my confidence in the reporting system. The reporting system is dependent upon fair and accurate consumer reporting, pursuant to 15USC1681 ( a ) ( 1 ). I noticed the following public record is still on my account when it should have been removed months ago : XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Please explain to me why, after XXXX XXXX removed the account stating it is unverifiable, and I sent the bureaus proof, the courts also sent a letter stating they do not verify public records and I sent that to the bureaus and I, pursuant to 15USC 1681b, did not give any credit bureau written permission to add this to my credit report, why is it still there? Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. Please remove all public records including the XXXX XXXX XXXX  from my report. The Bankruptcy Courts have both mailed me letters which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. I have attached this once again to this complaint. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the XXXX XXXX XXXX system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. My inquiry to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy XXXX confirmed XXXX, XXXX and Experian Credit Bureaus have never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they ever be VERIFIED by them! They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering the information indicating a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation, I need all tax lien and bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately. You needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these XXXX XXXX Accounts bearing either a court order to place this information in my credit report, or my authorization of release bearing my signature. In the meantime, to be in full compliance with the FCRA laws and guidelines, all the information listed under XXXX XXXX needs to be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my name and social security number. Per the Federal Law, you have exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ). Per the Federal Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), you are required by federal law to verify through physical verification of the original signed consumer contract and/or judgment ( s ) all accounts and public information that you post on anyones credit report. As such, if this unauthorized public record information is not deleted from my credit report within the next 30 days, I will be filing a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau as well. Pursuant to 15USC1681b, I am demanding to see in writing where I gave written instruction or permission to report this erroneous information on my Consumer Report. A consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other with the written instruction to whom it relates. You have defamed my character, my reputation, my worthiness, my standing, my capacity, and my mode of living. All of these violations are a direct violation of 15USC1681. No consent is identity theft and these violations are Aggravated Identity theft, pursuant to 18USC1028b ( 1 ) ( A ) ( ii ). You have knowingly transferred, possessed and used, without lawful authority, a means of identification of me, which is a felony punishable up to 2 years of imprisonment, in addition to civil liability. Please explain to me why this public record is still showing on my credit report or remove it immediately. My proof attached.
