Its a violation of my rights and I demand the immediately be deletion of this account to ensure that the agency is reporting full complete information on my account Ive sent disputes and submitted challenges with the creditors as well as Experian, TransUnion & Equifax asking for debt validation and challenged reporting accuracy. The response i received to my claims from CRAs was all accounts have been 100 % validated. I was not presented with a detailed response explaining how they came to this resolution. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( BX ( iii ) requires consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) to provide a description of disputed information within 15 days. This section applies when a consumer requests a description of disputed information in their credit file 15 U.S.C. 1681 E ( B ), governs Whenever a consumer reporting agencies prepare a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 


All accounts are being reported as charged off yet still reporting past due/owed balance and companies have failed to send out 1099 for tax purposes. This not only does this violate my consumer rights but it also is tax fraud. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 N I have to right to sue for {$1000.00} per violation plus statutory damages. 

Please be aware that I am keeping a detailed record of all correspondence and actions taken throughout this process. Failure to respond to this letter or address the mentioned violations within the specified timeframe will leave me with no choice but to proceed with legal action to protect my rights as a consumer. 

I trust that you will take this matter seriously and handle it in a timely and professional manner. I look forward to receiving a satisfactory resolution to this issue.
