Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: My chief complaint is that I am experiencing difficulties with the credit bureaus complying to my request to a ). delete inaccurate information from my credit report, and b ). furnace proof of their investigations into the inaccuracies. To date, there has been no resolution and these companies are in direct violation of my consumer rights. I have submitted a previous complaints over the course of the last 9months and counting, via regular mail, and through the online dispute portals. I have also furnished proof of the multiple inconsistencies reported across my credit reports, yet the credit reporting agencies are affirming that it is verified an accurate ( see attachments ). How is this possible? I have a firm reason to believe they are not doing a thorough job in their investigations, nor are they providing me with evidence of their investigation, which I have requested on multiple occasions. All of these accounts ( XXXX-as reported to XXXX and Equifax ; XXXX and XXXX-reported to XXXX, Equifax, XXXX ) listed in my documentation are reporting inaccurate information to the three credit bureaus which is detrimental to my financial health. Previously I have submitted disputes but I am encountering the same results with each bureau either reporting it as verified or unchanged. However, I challenge that as incorrect/not legitimate as it only takes a quick look at the reports, to see that something is amiss. They have a responsibility to report verified, fair and accurate information and they are not doing so. I also reached out to the creditors and they are unable to provide assistance. I did receive correspondence from the bureaus and I will attach it in the attachments section of this complaint form.

Consumer Complaint: I've observed several deviations from mandatory reporting standards, which raises concerns about the accuracy and completeness of the data in my report. Consequently, I reject the allegations against me and challenge you to provide evidence that justifies reporting this incomplete negative information on my credit report. In accordance with 15 U.S.C 1681e, consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of information in consumer reports. Additionally, 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) mandates furnishers to provide information about consumer accounts with integrity and accuracy. It also requires them to conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes, following Metro 2 compliance standards outlined in the CRRG. Deviation from these standards jeopardizes the integrity of the data, as emphasized in the CRRG. Any errors in reporting can compromise the accuracy of federally regulated reports. Therefore, I am exercising my rights to challenge these inaccuracies and non-compliant items. Ignoring my request would indicate a disregard for my consumer rights. It is unjust for you to report unconfirmed and potentially unethical information that does not meet certified reporting standards. I am disputing these claims and demanding proof of proper reporting standards. Your actions are a violation of my rights, as outlined in this document. The incomplete and non-compliant nature of the report does not meet legal standards. I insist that you certify all aspects of required FCRA/Metro 2 compliance truthfully, correctly, and in a timely manner. Failure to do so may lead me to escalate these issues to the CFPB, FTC, and my Attorney General.
