Ive been in communications with ( TransUnion, Equifax or Experian ) about inaccurate personal information on my credit report. Even after notifying them many times about this error they still continue to report this incorrect personal information on my file. Not only is it unfair, its also illegal. By law

15 U.S. Code 1681 ( b ) it clearly states that your reporting agency must follow these Reasonable procedures : require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance. This whole thing is unfair. This has been stopping me from being able to move forward in my life because of this inaccurate information being reported on my credit report. I have told (
TransUnion, Equifax or Experian ) many times I do not consent to the inaccurate personal information listed below to be reported on my consumer report.
