To whom it may concern : Re : XXXX XXXX XXXX, SS # XXXX, DOB XX/XX/XXXX, Bankruptcy XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, you disclosed to me upon investigation of bankruptcy being reported on my consumer report was " verified as accurate ''. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on that, by the way. You guys move pretty fast!! 

Please note that I have obtained copies of my XXXX report and the bankruptcy IS NOT reported. This is attached. 

Please also note that I also reached out to the bankruptcy court in XXXX, NJ, and they stated they DO NOT report OR verify information with credit bureaus. This letter is attached. 

My attorney did NOT verify this, either. 

Finally, I have never provided written instructions or consent for this very personal matter to be shared on my consumer report. I am aware that the FCRA says a credit reporting agency must remove inaccurate or unverified information. 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 1 ) In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury, or a subpoena issued in accordance with section 5318 of title 31 or section 3486 of title 18. ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681q - Obtaining information under false pretenses 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, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. 

In closing, please DELETE this item from my credit report. The XXXX, XXXX, and E-oscar do not qualify as as a recognized source of validation, either. 

Please send me an updated copy of my consumer credit report once the bankruptcy is deleted. 

Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
