Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed CFPB complaints against all three credit bureaus with affidavits, IRS 1099-Cs , and certified disputes. Those cases are on record as : Experian CFPB Case # XXXX TransUnion CFPB Case # XXXX Equifax CFPB Case # XXXX In addition, Equifax permanently deleted XXXX XXXX ( {$3600.00} ) XXXX XXXX # XXXX, proving the account was unverifiable. If Equifax determined XXXX was unverifiable, then Experian and TransUnion continuing to report and update the same account is unlawful. 

Despite my filings, the following accounts remain with false balances and ongoing monthly updates even after charge-off and multiple sales to collection agencies, with no proof of accounting or ownership : XXXX ( {$2500.00} ) Identity theft. Under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), this account should have been blocked within 4 business days of my affidavit. It remains unverified. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$1500.00} ) Charged off and sold multiple times, but still being verified without contracts, ownership proof, or chain of title. Continues to update monthly despite no accounting. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$32000.00} ) Charged off and sold. Still updating monthly into XXXX as if it remains active. No contracts or ownership records produced. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$14000.00} and {$440.00} ) Charged off. Continues to update monthly in XXXX across bureaus, creating the false impression of current delinquency. 

XXXX XXXX ( {$3600.00} ) Sold and later deleted by Equifax as unverifiable. Yet Experian and TransUnion continue to report and update it monthly, despite no accounting or ownership.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed Final Intent to XXXX Notices via certified mail to all three bureaus. Tracking numbers : Equifax XXXX TransUnion XXXX Experian XXXX This is not a new dispute. It is a final notice and evidence for litigation. The bureaus have had since XX/XX/XXXX to correct these violations. Continuing to update charged-off and sold accounts monthly is illegal re-aging, false reporting, and willful harm.
