Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, Your response to my dispute is unacceptable and a blatant attempt to stall the investigation process, which is a direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). I sent my dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, via certified mail, for the following accounts, reported by XXXX ending # XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX  I included all required documentation to verify my identity : 1. A copy of my drivers license, 2. Proof of my current address via a utility bill, and 3. A copy of my Social Security card. 

Despite this, you updated my dispute status to complete as of XX/XX/XXXX, and I was never notified of the results, nor can I view them online, nor was I provided the method of verification as requested! You are now improperly requesting the same information again. This is clearly an effort to delay the investigation beyond the 30-day period required by law. Let me remind you that under the FCRA, you are obligated to complete your investigation and correct or remove inaccurate or unverifiable information within 30 days. You have failed to meet this deadline, and your inaction is a violation of federal law. 

As the investigation deadline has passed, I demand the immediate removal of the disputed accounts from my credit file. Should you fail to comply, I will take the following actions without further notice : 1. File a formal complaint with the Attorney Generals Office for your noncompliance, and 2. Pursue legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA, including seeking damages for your failure to investigate my dispute in a timely manner. 

Your tactics to delay resolution are not only illegal but also disrespectful to me as a consumer. I expect immediate action and written confirmation that the disputed accounts have been removed. 

This is your final opportunity to comply with your legal obligations.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "
