I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd 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:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 
I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance. 
I further remind you that, as in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX - XXXX. XXXX, ( XXXX California XXXX ) ; you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of discharged accounts. 
I have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS provide proof of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or another instrument bearing my signature. 
In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt. 
I request this under 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the false reporting isnt removed ; as in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX ( XXXXXXXX. XXXX. 
XXXX, XXXX ), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Redressal Required : FCRA and Privacy Violations by XXXX and Financial Entities Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to seek immediate intervention and redressal for serious breaches of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and privacy laws by Experian, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. These entities have egregiously violated my consumer rights and federal laws, specifically under 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) i ) and 15 U.S. Code 6802. 

FCRA Violations by Credit Reporting Agencies : Experian, XXXX, and XXXX have failed in their duty to ensure accurate and legal reporting of consumer credit information. This is evident in their handling of unauthorized transactions reported by XXXX XXXX  ( Account Number : XXXX ) and the reporting of a debt sold by XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX. These actions directly contravene the stipulations of the FCRA, which explicitly excludes reports containing information solely about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. 

Illegal Disclosure of Personal Information : Furthermore, the actions of XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX  in disclosing my personal and financial information without my consent or proper notice is a clear violation of 15 U.S. Code 6802. This breach of privacy laws is compounded by the CRAs ' failure to prevent such disclosures from affecting my consumer reports. 

Demand for Immediate Corrective Action : In light of these violations, I, XXXX XXXX, demand that Experian, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX take immediate steps to block and delete all inaccurate and unauthorized information from my consumer reports. This action is imperative to comply with the FCRA and protect my legal rights. 

Request for Full Investigation and Compliance : I urge the CFPB to conduct a thorough investigation into these matters. It is essential that these entities not only rectify the current violations but also implement measures to prevent future breaches of consumer protection laws. 

Expectation of Prompt and Lawful Response : As a consumer, I expect a swift and lawful response from all entities involved. The adherence to federal statutes and the protection of consumer rights should be the utmost priority for these organizations. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I trust in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's commitment to enforcing consumer rights and anticipate a prompt and effective resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
