This company has illegally reported a file on my credit report without my permission this file was previously removed and was added back on my credit report illegally. 
The law that prevents credit bureaus from putting a previously removed item back on your credit report is the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ; it requires them to investigate and verify any disputed information before reinserting it, essentially prohibiting them from simply putting back information that was previously removed due to a dispute and found inaccurate.
