Complaint narrative:
Like many others, as a consumer, I absolutely do not feel like I have the power to control what is reported on my credit profile. People just put items on your report, and we have to spend time, energy and money to get it taken off! I am very diligent in getting my profile corrected. The Credit Bureaus have a responsibility to report correct information and its not fair when they do not! I have been disputing one particular account, for well over a year. My first dispute letter to XXXX XXXX was sent XX/XX/18! I have NEVER signed a contract or agreed to an account or affiliation with XXXX XXXX, but they keep reporting on my credit report and failing but failed to provide a copy of any alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. I am appalled and disgusted with all three bureaus as well as XXXX XXXX. They have all failed to verify any debt, as required by law. I have sent multiple letters to each bureau and XXXX XXXX as well. Ive sent almost 10 letters to resolve this! The bureaus have failed because they continue to just send back responses saying the account is verified. Both XXXX XXXX and each of the bureaus have failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature, showing the account is being reported accurately. I am requesting that you demand that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is provided by XXXX XXXX or they delete the negative information from my report. They should NOT have another 30 days for this! I expect it within the next 7 days! Theyve had over a year! Additionally, please ask them to provide the name, address, and telephone number of each person who personally verified this alleged account, so that I can inquire about how they verified without providing any proof, bearing my signature. As per FTC opinion letter from Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX, they should be aware that a printout of a bill or itemized document does not constitute verification. I am again, formally requesting a copy of any documents, bearing my signature, showing that I have a legally binding contractual obligation to pay the alleged amount to XXXX XXXX. Be aware that I am making a final goodwill attempt to clear up this matter. The listed item is inaccurate, incomplete and represents a very serious error in reporting. I am maintaining a careful record of my communications, should they continue their non-compliance of federal laws under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and the corresponding local state laws, and they are all liable for their willful non-compliance. The law demands them to provide such documentation or the company/bureau are required to delete. I am requesting you have them to delete this debt, immediately from all three credit reporting agencies, Experian, XXXX XXXX and XXXX, as per the law! Please find copies of my letters and company responses, but not validations or anything bearing my signature.
