Complaint narrative:
ACCOUNT VERIFIED RESPONSE I Sent my letter off on XX/XX/XXXX. I told the credit bureaus to " investiage every piece of information '' on the accounts I have listed below. Also I have attached the letter I sent out and here is the Tracking #.

According to the FRCA The term " investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information.

They stated my account was verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law. Also every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % Accurate.

And according to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % Accurate. I have the credit report showing the inaccuracies.
