Consumer Narrative
THIS PROCESS HAS CAUSED ME EXTREME STRESS IN THESE ALREADY STRESSFUL TIMES. ALSO, TO KNOW THAT I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING ON MY END BY THE BOOK AND TO SEE COMPLETE DISREGARD TO THE SECURITY OF MY PERSONAL INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL REPUTATION FROM ALL THREE OF THE BUREAUS THAT PLAY SUCH A BIG FACTOR IN HOW LENDERS, EMPLOYERS, AND EVEN SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICES VIEW ME. THESE ACCOUNTS HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY VERIFIED TO ME SO I AM CONCERNED WITH THE INFORMATION THE BUREAUS ARE ACCEPTING BEFORE RUINING CONSUMERS LIKE MINE LIVES AND HELPING UNVALIDATED COLLECTION COMPANIES SMEAR OUR FINANCIAL IDENTITY. NOT ONE OF THESE CREDITORS/COLLECTION COMPANIES FOLLOWED THE FCRA PROCESS AND NEITHER DID XXXX, EQUIFAX NOR XXXX WHEN THEY ASSISTED THE COLLECTION AGENCY AND ADDED THIS FRAUDULENT DEBT TO MY CONSUMER CREDIT REPORT. ACCOUNTS : XXXX XXXX XXXX - {$0.00} XXXX XXXX - {$440.00} XXXX XXXX - {$650.00} XXXXI XXXX - {$250.00} XXXXL XXXX XXXX - {$680.00}
