I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts. Actually I am not sure that the account is even mine though your company claims to have verified this. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Experian ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.
