Parties must resolve any dispute they havve with a credit agency or their credit report directly with that agency. The Bankruptcy Court and Clerk 's Office do not provide information to credit reporting agencies.

This is the direct statement from the Clerk 's Office. Please send me whatever documents of information you have personally used to " verify '' this alleged bankruptcy immediately. If you can not produce such documents, this bankruptcy needs to be removed from my file as it is defaming my character, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Transunion XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX : Dispute of Bankruptcy Listing on Credit Report To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the bankruptcy listing on my credit report, which appears under XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion marked as a public record. This bankruptcy entry is inaccurate and I request its immediate removal from my credit report. 

I understand that under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ), I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe to be incorrect or unverifiable. According to the FCRA, Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), I am entitled to receive a free copy of my credit report once every 12 months from each of the three nationwide credit reporting agencies.

Furthermore, I would like to draw your attention to the following UCC provisions and FCRA : UCC 1-201 ( 19 ) : Defines a " consumer transaction '' as transactions in which the party seeking relief is a natural person and the transaction is primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.

UCC 1-201 ( 20 ) : Defines " good faith '' as honesty in fact and the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing.

As per my understanding of the XXXX, creditors, and credit reporting agencies are obligated to act in good faith and provide accurate, verifiable information. Given that the bankruptcy listing on my credit report can not be verified, its presence is a violation of my rights under the FCRA and the XXXX. 

Therefore, I demand that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and provide evidence verifying the accuracy of the bankruptcy listing. If you are unable to verify the information within 30 days, I request that it be promptly removed from my credit report I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution. Please send me written confirmation of the actions taken regarding my dispute.
