Complaint narrative:
I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful.

I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further.

This is a Debt buyer. As this debt buyer is not a creditor therefore on my report where it shows collection agency as creditor it's inaccurate reporting and violation under FDCPA definitions of creditor. This is inaccurate and needs to be deleted immediately as its a violation. Please view the below definitions, 12 CFR Part 1006 - Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( Regulation G ) 1006.2 ( g ) Definitions.

( g ) Creditor means any person who offers or extends credit creating a debt or to whom a debt is owed. The term creditor does not, however, include any person to the extent that such person receives an assignment or transfer of a debt in default solely to facilitate collection of the debt for another. 

In addition, Per Wenger v. XXXX XXXX XXXX, No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. XXXX XXXX ), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Under 15 U.S. Code 1692g. Validation of debts I request that this Non-Creditor validate this debt by providing proof of this alleged item, specifically the original application, original contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature. Failing that, the items must be deleted from the report as soon as possible. Under federal law. Please research and delete the inaccuracies ASAP. In the past I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use.
