XX/XX/2023 Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX RE : Requesting a Method of Verification Letter Dear Sir/Ma'am : I recently received a response to a dispute ( see attached ) that I made under FCRA 611 ( a ) regarding an erroneous item on my credit report involving a transaction with. I was saddened to learn that you somehow verified the disputed item, electing to leave it on my report. 

Collection Agency : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am certain that the item I disputed is incorrect and should be removed, so l am hereby exercising my rights under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) to request a complete description of all methods used to investigate my dispute.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I very much look forward to getting this resolved as soon as possible.

I submitted a letter to the 3 Credit Bureaus to fix these erroneous items. I think you have not validated these items in accordance with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and I will pursue legal action against them. These were already included in my prior complaint and I'm including them again.

Complaint narrative:
Im honestly stumped. Regardless of how many times I claim to be the individual writing this letter, it seems this message is truly missed. For the record, Im the one whos initiating these disputes under MYNAME. The account is UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high-risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. Lets get the record straight!!! First of all, I know that under FCA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, Ive never sent my documentation to anyone else which seems to be a claim that constitutes high-risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

Company: West Realm Shires Services Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
West Realm Shires Services, XXXX  FTX.US, and/or XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX cash funds that belong to me, without communicating in any way when they will return my funds. 

I initiated a withdrawal for XXXX {$25000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX when I heard the FTX XXXX was having issues. Out of an abundance of caution, I initiated this withdrawal through XXXX cash to my bank account, even though the company was saying at the time there were no issues with FTX.US and all withdrawals were functioning as normal. I never received my money so it is still in the custody of FTX.US. This is a significant amount of my life savings and money that I need in the short term to pay for housing, food, expenses, car, etc.

In the FTX.US terms of service, it says very clearly that all cash and funds held in my name/account on the platform was NOT the property of FTX.US and belonged to each user/customer. There is a CLEAR breach of service, and I have not received my withdrawal almost 2 months later. Furthermore, the FTX.US app showed the funds as " SENT '' but clearly they were never processed because I never received them. 

These are funds that belong to me, were being held in a custodial arrangement on my behalf, and were withdrawn PRIOR to bankruptcy, fully within the Terms of Service of FTX.US. I withdrew from my cash account balance via the FTX.US desktop website, via XXXX separate ACH transaction for XXXX {$25000.00} to be sent to my bank account at XXXX XXXX XXXX following the FTX.US guidelines, instructions and terms of service on XX/XX/XXXX, 3 days prior to FTX.US declaring bankruptcy on XX/XX/XXXX. 

At the time, FTX.US openly stated on their official website and XXXX page that withdrawals were fully operational and processing. At the same time, there are numerous reports of others successfully withdrawing from their FTX.US accounts. Per my account on both the FTX.US website and app, the funds were removed from my account. In addition, I received confirmation on the website, the app, and via FTX.US support directly that my ACHs were being sent. I have yet to receive my funds. 

The FTX.US terms of service clearly state that my XXXX Dollar account balances would be held for my benefit at XXXX XXXX  ; Your FTX.US Account allows you to hold and transfer US dollars which are held by FTX.US for your benefit at XXXX XXXX  the extent you hold XXXX  XXXX balances ( and such balances are not held in XXXX or other investments ), those XXXX balances are held in customer XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXfor customers of the FTX.USas of XX/XX/2022 ). I have reached out multiple times, to multiple contacts FTX.US and I have yet to receive any response at all from any of these parties.
