Complaint narrative:
I need help from the CFPB protecting my rights against Experian 's flagrant violations against my rights and Federal Law.

Dear Experian You changed a positive account thats been reporting for 7 years and now flipped it to negative and re aged this account. Why? How is this legal? 
I've pulled my credit report and have seen inaccurately and fraudulently reported negative information furnished by you that needs to be investigated and removed. 
I've also done a little research and have found that when I dispute that something is incorrect, you need to contact the data furnisher and have them verify it. From my research, I've found that if I tell you that something is inaccurate in my credit report, you need to find out what the faulty information is, and you need to contact the data provider to request an amendment. However, I've noticed that you only compare your own data with the data provided by the data furnishers; doing this means that you're going to get the same result. When I first started researching XXXX, I realized that you only compare your data against other the data furnisher 's. In doing so, you're essentially always going to get a verified result! So, I'm contacting you to request that you do more than a " database comparison '', because this is federal law mandates an independent investigation. 
I also read on the internet about something called 15 U.S. C Sec. 1681i ( a ). It says that if you can not provide proof, these accounts must be deleted. If not available, I would want these accounts deleted if they are not 100 % correct and accurate. It also mentioned that you have 30 days to complete this investigation. 
My rights have been violated by reporting the following inaccurate accounts. 
15 U.S..C. 1681 Section 602 A. States that I have the right to privacy 15 U.S.C. 1681 604 A Section 2 : A consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instruction.

15 U.S.C. 1681c. ( a ) ( 5 ) : No consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following information : any other adverse item of information, other than the records of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) : A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the account may be inaccurate.
