Consumer Narrative
I have been sending letters since XXXX of 2020 to all three bureaus. These letters included proof that it was me who sent them, it included disputes I had for items i did not recognize or felt were not reporting accurately. I know from research that the Bureaus have 30 days to investigate then 15 days to respond, I have given plenty of time and chances for them to respond but they have not been providing me with responses. I have seen very minimal changes, if that and I am very disappointed that I have to pay for an online monitoring service to see if they have even made changes because they have failed to send me even a letter requesting more time or confirmation that received my letters. I even paid extra to send some of the letters certified because I wanted to ensure they were receiving them.
