Consumer Narrative
This is a request as authorized by the FCRA 611 Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] This request is regarding the account listed below XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX FUNDING ( Original Creditor : XXXX CREDIT ONE BANK N A ) XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX CAPITAL ONE N A ) XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) This account has previously been reported on my credit file and was subsequently deleted after the item was disputed and could not be verified. On XXXX XXXX. I requested a copy of my credit report under my rights through the FACTA act. This item was not contained in my credit file on that date. On XXXX XXXX, after being denied credit for a home student based upon negative information being reported through XXXX and XXXX. I requested a second copy of my credit report under my rights to review my credit report after denial of credit. The account in question suddenly reappeared on the report dated XX/XX/2021. I immediately completed an online dispute for this account. In response to this dispute you sent me a letter dated XX/XX/2021 ( with confirmation number XXXX ). In this letter it stated that my investigation was completed and that you verified that this item belongs to me. I have two problems with the way reporting on this account has been handled by XXXX. First, according to my XX/XX/XXXX credit report, this item was reported in XXXX. Even giving you a very generous assumption that this item was reported to you on XX/XX/2021. I find it very difficult to believe that " additional information regarding this item '' sufficient enough to prove this is my account could have been provided to you by XX/XX/XXXX, only one day after the account was re-reported to you. Furthermore, I find it very odd that you're letter " verifying this account '' predates my dispute of this account. Additionally, you are in violation of FCRA 611 Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] for your failure to notify me in a timely manner of this tradeline being reinserted into my credit file.
