Consumer Narrative
Dear Cfpb ; XXXX ; XXXX ; Equifax ; See attachments ... .I 'm not sure why you keep saying that you already verified this public record XXXX as being accurate, whereas, I've contacted all the credit bureaus, courthouses and obtain paperwork where it says that they don't verify nor provide any data to the credit reporting agency. This is reporting in violation and it's unverifiable, also it continues to report with multiple inaccuracies and incomplete info. Again, The United States Bankruptcy courts DO NOT report any activity to credit bureaus. Federal law protects the privacy of most personally identifiable information reported. However, the credit bureau actively searches public records for any judgments and tax liens through third-party research. A Bankruptcy is public information, Again, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court DO NOT report anything to the various credit bureaus, nor do they verify that the information reported is accurate. Your agency has found information on bankruptcies through third-party research. I also, must add that your recent investigation doesn't provide a data furnisher name, it only states that it was certified to your company that the information is accurate, my question is how and from whom? Please validate this information and provide me with copies of any and all documentation associated with these accounts bearing my signature. I formally request that this information is immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my social security number. Please note that I am closely monitoring my credit file and you have exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) and I will be keeping very careful records of all actions taken regarding my file. Failure to respond satisfactorily within 30 days of receipt of this certified letter will result in a small claims action against your XXXX. I will be seeking {$5000.00} in damages for, but not limited to Defamation ; Negligent Enhancement of Identity Fraud ; Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act
