Consumer Narrative
I am a victim of identity theft. It is sad that these companies can flat out violate the federal law like this. This is a direct violation of 15 USC 1692 ( g ) Validation of Debts. Not only have I not given the credit reporting agencies written consent to furnish my consumer report at no time per 15 USC 1681b. I will be filing with the federal courts about the continuous back and forth with the credit reporting agencies and companies who clearly know that they are in violation of the law. It clearly states that once I notify each credit report agency of my identity theft a removal of the account or information is to be removed. I as the the consumer is also the person to identify this information for validation but not XXXX person has called me to verify not XXXX thing. It has been almost a full year of attempting to get them to correct my credit file. I am no longer waiting and will be taking this to the next level.
