I am very committed to ensuring my rights title an interest are given to me. Furthermore by not informing me within 5 days of receiving my dispute each credit agency violated 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( i ) ( 2 ) ( A ) - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy Before the expiration of the 5-business-day period beginning on the date on which a consumer reporting agency receives notice of a dispute from any consumer or a reseller in accordance with paragraph ( 1 ), the agency shall provide notification of the dispute to any person who provided any item of information in dispute, at the address and in the manner established with the person. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681- Congressional findings and statement of purpose ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. And as a consumer my rights have not been treated with respect.
