Complaint narrative:
I began aggressively disputing the below accounts since  XX/XX/XXXX  when I noticed they was charged off.  <P/>  1  )   XXXX   XXXX    XXXX   2 )    XXXX   XXXX    XXXX   3 )   XXXX   XXXX   4 )   XXXX  (  FOUR  ACCOUNTS )  XXXX   5 )    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    ( been disputing since   XXXX   XXXX   )   XXXX  My initial dispute online was I no longer had a valid contract with the companies and the accounts needed to be deleted because with the charge off the company had wrote off the debt and sold the debt to a 3rd party therefore it wasnt a valid contract with the them anymore and was legally now considered inaccurate reporting.  <P/> In response the credit bureaus  1  ) told me the debt was valid,  2 )  reported it as fraud and  3 ) ch anged the status of the account from charged off and closed to charged off and open. None of which addressed my complaint.  <P/> Because of their response, although neither of which was my complaint, I then sen t TWO l etters  (  XXXX   and  XXXX   XXXX  ) asking for validation for the debt since they were stating it was a verified debt.  <P/> What I received in response was a letter stating to call the company and a letter stating no changes would be made because they verified the account. I was even told my dispute was frivolous. Nonetheless, NO ONE FROM THE BUREAU HAS GIVEN ME PROOF WITH MY SIGNATURE THAT I OWED The DEBT NOR HAVE ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO JUSTIFY THE REPORTING OF AN ACCOUNT THAT DIDNT HAVE A VALID CONTRACT.  <P/> FCRA rules states that it is the reporting agencies obligation to defend the accuracy of the information THEY are reporting. It is NOT the consumers obligation to call the creditors to figure out what is going on. Nor is it ethically moral to tell someone their inquiries are frivolous especially when I have legit concerns with the reporting of inaccurate information. I have sent in identity theft report ( as required by the bureau ), yet no one has deleted these accounts when I have proven they are not mine nor can a simple contract with my signature be given to me.  <P/> Inaccurate reporting is occurring because :  1 )  Since the bureau assist on the validity of the account, the charged off account no longer has a valid contract and the credit bureau cant furnish evidence of such valid contract and it is 90 days into the investigation.    2 )  The original creditor has sold or transferred the debt to a collection agency, but a past due amount is still reporting, which is illegal according to FCRA rules.    3 ) T he bureau claimed to have investigated the validity of the account ( something they initiated and I followed up on ), but have been unable to furnish undisputable evidence, with my written signature, of such validation and it is now 60 days into the investigation.
