Consumer Narrative
XXXX XXXX XXXX is showing an inaccurate balance owed of {$4000.00}. I disputed this inaccuracies with XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX has verified and certified the furnished information is accurate. I then did my own investigation and determined that XXXX does not own this account anymore. They sold this account to XXXX and charged it off. As a result of that sale XXXX credit lawfully has to update my consumer report to {$0.00} balance. I owe no money to XXXX credit since they no longer have ownership of the account. The FCRA requires furnishers to furnish accurate infomation. The FCRA also requires XXXX credit to investigate disputes. I tried calling the listed number on my consumer report and they refuse to help me because they said they no longer hold the account. This inaccurate reporting is a violation of 15 USC 1681 also since they failed to complete their duty to update the consumer reporting agencies this is another violation and noncompliance with the FCRA. Also when i filed my dispute with the consumer reporting agencies and the dispute was forwarded to XXXX XXXX they verified the inaccurate information instead of doing a reasonable investigation which is another violation of the FCRA.
