Consumer Narrative
I sent my 3rd letter to XX/XX/2022 as well as filed an official complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I told credit bureaus to investigate every piece of information on the accounts that I have listed below. According to the FCRA the term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information 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/she is acquainted or who may have knowledge of concerning 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. They stated that my account was 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 FCRA 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % accurate.
