Complaint narrative:
There was information on these credit bureaus that related to me. A lot of this information can't be validated because there is no original creditor to validate the information and since I am the only alleged consumer of these accounts then I am the only one that can validate the information on these accounts. Then there's the issue of these so-called investigations that all come back as " accurate '' but pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( e ) who did this credit bureaus interview to get these accurate facts? So if I am the only original consumer then I am the only person that can verify if any of the information can be factual information. And pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 
( 2 ) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers. 
( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. 
( 4 ) There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 

And there are a lot of discrepancies in their reporting. 
I never gave anyone permission to furnish or report anything to a credit bureau or consumer reporting agency. 
Since reporting to credit bureaus and other consumer reporting agencies by creditors is voluntary and based on 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) any consumer reporting the agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 1 ) In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury.

( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. 
I have never given any credit bureau or consumer reporting agency my written permission to report to them. 
I sent out letters back in XXXX to XXXX, XXXX, and Experian requesting that they delete the accounts in their system as well as phone calls to all of the agencies since I did not authorize their reporting services. As of today, I have not received a response nor have the account been removed as requested.
