Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX I am reaching out to challenge the presence of this bankruptcy on my credit report Case numbers XXXX & XXXX. It's troubling because I have a court letter explicitly stating it shouldn't be reported to you. Moreover, the involvement of an unauthorized third party makes this situation even more absurd. U. S. Bankruptcy Court items listed. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : " If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file ''. The County Recorder of Deeds and the Bankruptcy Courts have both mailed me letters which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. My inquiry to the County Recorder of Deeds and the U. S. Bankruptcy Courts confirmed that XXXX, transunion and XXXX Credit Bureau has never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they ever be by them. They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering the information indicating a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation, I need all tax lien and bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately.

In the meantime, to be in full compliance with the FCRA laws and guidelines, all the information listed under " Public Records '' needs to be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my name and social security number. Be further advised that I am closely monitoring my credit file.
