Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to address significant inaccuracies in the information reported by your agency. As a consumer, I am alarmed by the blatant negligence and failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, you are obligated to provide a full description of the reinvestigation procedure used to verify these disputed items, including the business name, address, and contact number of any furnisher of the disputed information. You are hereby given 15 days to respond with the requested information. Failure to comply with this demand will result in further action, as permitted by law. Despite my prior communication, which clearly stated that I am a victim of identity theft, and despite my FTC report ( enclosed ), your agency has failed to block and remove the disputed items from my credit report within the four business days mandated under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( c ) ( a ). This continued reporting is not only misleading but is a clear violation of the FCRA, and I demand immediate corrective action.
