Please not this is not a duplicate complaint and I'm not using any third party for this matter. This complaint is sending due to new Evidence. 
15 USC 1681 section 603 ( 3 ) ( E ) States ; The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interview with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from consumer. 
They also violated my rights numerous times. 
The credit bureaus violated my given rights under 15 USC 1681.

According to : 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 A. States I have the rights to privacy.

According to : 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

According to : 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 
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 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 other third party provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or other third party provides who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by Recorder of the U.S. COURT system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. 
My inquiry to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX confirmed Equifax 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 under my social security number to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately. 
EQUIFAX Credit Bureau needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these Public Record Accounts bearing either a court order to place this information my credit report, or my authorization of release bearing my signature. In the meantime, to be in full compliance with the FCRA laws and guidelines, all the information listed under PUBLIC RECORD needs to be immediately deleted closely monitoring my credit file, Per the Federal Law, you have exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ).

Per the Federal Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), you are required by federal law to verify through physical verification of the original signed consumer contract and/or judgment ( s ) all accounts and public information that you post on anyones credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, email in fraudulent erroneous account information. As such, if this unauthorized public record information is not deleted from my credit report within the next 30 days, I will be filing a complaint to Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 
Failure to respond in a satisfactory manner within 30 days of receipt of this certified will result in a small claims action against the Equifax Credit Reporting Bureau.
