Complaint narrative:
Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response and this was my many attempts from the 3 Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, to provide proof, documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to correct the accounts which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely. Please see below the accounts I am concerned of and kindly help me to delete these Charge off and late closed accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - I need the following investigated account name, date of last activity, and opening date. I believe this information may be wrong. I need this removed immediately. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Owed : {$2900.00} - I believe this account is reporting inaccurately. I do not recall ever having a legal obligation with this company nor do I believe one exists. Please provide me verifiable proof this account belongs to me. I request a signed contract which is the ONLY LEGAL authority that stipulates an agreement. Please remove it. 
XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$160.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due it was stating. That is utterly unfathomable! Had a proper investigation been conducted you would have seen the error and corrected it immediately. You failed to do your job ; you must now REMOVE THIS ITEM ALTOGETHER. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$560.00} - I requested an investigation and the removal of the charge-off status. No changes were made. No investigation was conducted at all.
