Consumer Narrative
Early XXXX I contacted the company in regards to XXXX bankruptcy that is on my report and asked about the method of verification also for proof of verification. I was never sent this information on letters stating that they verified it, but don't state how nor was any proof given. I was only told that it was verified through Lexis Nexis also that they purchased my info from them. They also advised me that they received this through third party public information. This alone is violations under FCRA and USC laws. These laws state that I have the right to privacy which means I did not give them authorization to report this on my behalf. FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) states if the credit bureau cant VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR they must remove the information from my report. Also be aware that NO COURT IN AMERICA VALIDATES NOR REPORT to any agency or bureau. YOU HAVE 15 DAYS FROM RECIEVEING THIS TO VALIDATE THIS OR ELSE REMOVE IT
