Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter to the courthouse with tracking number # XXXX, asking do they report bankruptcies to the credit bureaus, and I received a letter stating that they do not report any bankruptcies to anybody. So, if thats the case, how did the credit buraus verify my bankruptcy as 100 % accurate. They never did a fair investigation according to the 15 USC 1681. 15 USC 1681 section 603 ( 3 ) ( E ) states ; 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. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. They also violated my rights numerous times. The credit bureaus violated my given rights under 15 USC 1681. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 A, states I have the right to privacy. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 604 A section 2, it also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.
