Complaint narrative:
Last year XX/XX/year> I contacted you to dispute several debt collection accounts that still appear on my credit report. Pursuant to section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), it is required that all information on a credit report be accurate, complete, and verifiable. However, the debt collection account in question has not been verified, and I believe that it is inaccurate and incomplete. Several accounts appear to be reaged and appear more than once of my credit profile. These accounts should not be furnished as they are in violation of my consumer rights. According to the FCRA, debt collections can only remain on my credit report for up to 7 years from the date of the original delinquency. In this case, the debt collection is beyond the allowed time frame and should be removed from my credit report immediately. Also, I never gave any consumer reporting agency WRITTEN CONSENT to report anything on my credit profile. Under 15 USC 1681 b : Permissable Purpose of consumer reports ( a ) in General subject to subsection ( c ) any cunsumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) in accordance with the WRITTEN INSTRUCTION the consumer to whom it relates. NO WRITTEN CONSENT is equivalent to IDENTITY THEFT. Therefore, I request that you investigate and remove these accounts from my credit report within 30 days in accordance with the FCRA. Additionally, I request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once this error has been corrected. Thank you for your attention to this matter

XXXX said that I have to talk to the creditors, Case Number : XXXX, and said that he could NOT dispute the addresses because it would only be reported again.
