SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS : 1.

No verification documentation or updated certification of accuracy was ever provided to me, the consumer.

2. Collusion Between Credit Reporting Agencies and Furnishers The pattern of unlawful reinsertion and synchronized reporting of fraudulent accounts across bureaus points to collusion and data trafficking for profit. Creditors are known to pay CRAs to retain negative tradelines on file a commercial arrangement that financially benefits both parties while harming the consumer.
