( the Credit Bureaus ) for systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. These include failures to ensure maximum accuracy under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), inadequate investigations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, and permitting unverified data under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2. Erroneous name and address information has created mixed files, incorporating negative items that do not belong to me, resulting in denied credit, higher costs, and distress. 
My legal name is XXXX XXXX XXXX ( drivers license attached ), yet the Bureaus report variations like XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX My sole address is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Florida XXXX ( utility bills attached ), but reports include outdated XXXX XXXX. These errors have led to unverifiable negatives : XXXX XXXX  ( {$8600.00}, Account # XXXX / XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$13000.00}, Account # XXXX  ), XXXX XXXX XXXX ( $ XXXX, including Credit Card Account # XXXX / XXXX  / XXXX, Vehicle Loan Account # XXXX / XXXX, and Credit Card Account XXXX XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  ), XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$7200.00}, Account # XXXX  ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX {$98.00}, Account # XXXX  ). Demand their deletion. Furthermore, the Bureaus have failed to provide method of verification under 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) or original signed contracts under 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), relying on automated systems like e-OSCAR, which studies show contribute to persistent errors. 
The FCRAs protections include : Accuracy Requirement ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : Reasonable procedures for accuracy.

Reinvestigation Duty ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : Investigation and deletion of unverifiable data.
