Consumer Narrative
I sent my letter off on XX/XX/2021. I told the credit bureus to investigate every piece of information on the accounts I have listed below. Also, I attached the letter I sent out. I also submitted a complaint through CFPB and still these bureaus refuse to do their job according to the law. According to the FRCA the term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers 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. They stated my account ( s ) were verified but how is this 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. Attached is my recent credit report with the inaccuracies highlighted. 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation.
