Hi, i received a notice from my employer that a wage garnishment was sent to them that I owed for {$580.00}. The debt was {$260.00} and with fees increased to {$580.00}. This was from a debt in XXXX that was settled/repayment agreement. This was paid years ago. Per court records, the plaintiff reopened & was issued a judgement in XXXX.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction bynthe consumer. I submtted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information was affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX date breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
