I have spent over five months attempting to resolve these discrepancies with the credit bureaus without success.

Despite my repeated requests for validation and documentation, I have yet to receive any proof of these debts or their accurate reporting. As a result, the credit bureaus are violating my rights under the FCRA, FDCPA, and other consumer protection laws that ensure I have access to accurate credit information.
