XXXX Credit Limit and Balance : The report indicates an open balance of {$320.00} with a credit limit of {$300.00}, showing that I am using 106 % of my account 's limit. This information is incorrect. My current balance is $ [ Your Correct Balance ], and my credit limit is {$300.00}.

They in fact did not come from a XXXX party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the inaccurate reporting of fraudulent accounts on my credit report, which constitutes a clear violation of the law. Upon contacting the respective banks, it was confirmed that an error occurred. Furthermore, assurances by the banks were provided over the phone that the accounts would be promptly removed. I have previously sent a request for debt validation for several items listed on my credit file. However, I have recently received a response proclaiming the debt has been verified. I request a reinvestigation per FCRA 611 and that proper method of verification also be included with your response. Moreover, XXXX and XXXX no longer reports these accounts on their bureaus after the submission of the required FTC report. I am curious on what kind of method of verification and investigation you did to continue reporting these accounts on my report by your bureau. Your bureau is legally obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputes. This investigation must be prompt and must include a review of all relevant information submitted by the consumer, such as myself.
