The accounts in question, detailed below, infringe upon my rights to privacy and confidentiality as stipulated in the Act. Account Numbers : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Despite my XXXX to have these accounts reinvestigated by the Credit Bureau ( XXXX ) XXXX their response was that the information was accurate. This is perplexing, especially when the open dates, dates of last activity, payment history and among other details, are evidently incorrect. Attached are screenshots as evidence of these discrepancies. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 15 ), there is an obligation to modify accounts that are inaccurately reported.
