This means the credit bureaus can not lawfully downgrade, delay, or treat CFPB.gov disputes differently than direct disputes. All statutory duties under FCRA 607 ( b ), 611, and 623 apply equally, including the 30-day reinvestigation requirement and the duty to delete unverifiable or inconsistent information.

FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) : CFPB.gov disputes are legally equivalent to direct disputes.

Demand for Action Immediate Deletion of the LVNV Funding account across all three bureaus due to unlawful re-aging, factual impossibilities, and conflicting information.

If verified, provide a Method of Verification ( M.O.V. ) within 15 days of the verification notice, including : Furnishers name Furnishers address Furnishers telephone number Exact records relied upon in verification Deadlines 30 days : Reinvestigation must be completed with written results.

15 days : M.O.V. must be provided if verified.

Preservation of Rights If violations continue, I will escalate this matter through the CFPB, FTC, and private legal action for statutory damages under FCRA 616617. This letter serves as formal notice of my preservation of rights. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
