In addition, I submitted a formal demand under FCRA 1681g ( a ) for full file disclosure, including inquiries and third-party access. I also asserted my rights under the XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) to limit sharing of my non-public information and revoke consent for any electronic or phone contact. I requested that all future communication be conducted by certified mail only, as allowed under FDCPA 1692c ( c ). 

Some of these accounts were successfully removed from XXXX but remain on my other reports, proving the furnishers could not verify them. None of the CRAs or XXXX provided a clear method of verification or original documentation as required under law.
