YOUR COMPLAINT I have filed a dispute regarding public records that don't belong to me and they have refused to remove them. The courts don't verify accounts or report anything to the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus are getting this information via a third party who gets their information from public records that may have incorrect information, I have also disputed inquiries that t weren't permissible and the bureaus are refusing to do an investigation but yet want me to contact the reporting companies. According to the FCRA that isn't my job but the credit bureaus and if they can't be verified they must be deleted. I have also disputed accounts that should have been deleted and the bureaus allowed these companies to update the accounts which has lowered my credit score and has damaged my credit. The accounts are reporting as included in bankruptcy but are reporting as charge-off which is inaccurate. The bankruptcy does't belong to me and any account reporting as such needs to be deleted. XXXX is a third party reporting agency and obtains their information from public records and that information can't be verified and must be deleted.XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX The accounts are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX These accounts are reporting as included in bankruptcy and being that I've never filed bankruptcy they must me deleted.

FCRA Rules state that any information can be disputed and must be investigated. Credit inquiries made without permissible purpose can be removed. Additionally, the FCRA states you can sue for damages in the amount of {$1000.00} for each instance a company pulled your credit report without your permission. I'm asking for the method of verification and for the documents be sent to me. I'm asking for them to not use the E-Oscar method as that is not a proper investigation and the data furnisher doesn't have to provide any documentation as to what is being reported. I'm asking for all the above accounts and inquiries to be deleted or this would be notice to serve as a violation and subject to {$1000.00} per violation. I retrieved a copy of my credit report and discovered inquiries that I have no knowledge of.Because I did not apply for credit with these creditors I have also reached out asking that they remove the inquiry from my credit profile. 
Please launch an investigation into the inquires to determine who authorized it. Upon completion, please provide written correspondence that details the results of your findings. If you find that the inquiry is invalid, I am requesting that it be removed from my credit report as soon as possible. But if the creditor is able to prove that the inquiry is indeed valid, please provide written proof and a description of how the investigation was conducted.Thanks in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. If an inquiry is impermissible it must be deleted, I'm asking for validation of debt which means that a contract with my signature must be provided and if not the account must be deleted.
