Consumer Narrative
I Sent my letter off on XX/XX/2022. I told the credit bureaus to " investigate every piece of information '' on the accounts I have listed below. Also I have attached the letter I sent out and the tracking numbers are listed in the added evidence According to the FRCA The term " investigative consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information.Im not sure if the bureaus XXXX Equifax or XXXX have their own interpretation of the law but there are standard operating procedures used to verify information and it wasnt properly done because as you can see there are still many inconsistencies within my report see attached documents for highlighted items. They stated my account was verified but how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law. Also every piece of information on these accounts are still not reporting 100 % Accurate. And according to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % Accurate. I have the credit report Listed in the attached documentation lists violations and items that need to be deleted because they are reporting inaccurate across all three bureaus.
