Complaint narrative:
I just received my investigation results. Complaint # XXXX and saw some accounts were verified. However, I have a few questions : how did you complete your investigation? Did you talk to my neighbors, friends, or family? If so, please inform me of the person who completed the investigation. The Credit Bureaus stated that my account was properly investigated but how is that possible when the high balance is inaccurate, date of last activity is inaccurate, last payment is inaccurate, last verified is inaccurate, close date is inaccurate, and date reported is inaccurate. This is grounds for removal. 

One more thing, I was reading the FCRA and noticed you VIOLATED these laws as well : 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy.
