As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Experian ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the XXXX in question.
