Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am filing this complaint regarding the continued inaccurate reporting of account and personal information on my credit report. Despite initiating a formal dispute and requesting validation of the reported items, the credit reporting agency has failed to provide a description of the reinvestigation procedure as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

I submitted a direct dispute to the agency and explicitly requested the following reinvestigation details : The name, address, and telephone number of any furnisher contacted, The name of the person who verified the information, The documentation used to verify the accuracy of the reported accounts, The internal procedures used to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

To date, none of this required information has been provided, and the inaccurate accounts and personal information remain on my report.
