Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my dissatisfaction and frustration regarding the multiple unsuccessful attempts to correct the late opening of my account with Credit Bureaus. Initial attempt to open the account was made, but I encountered an issue with the process. Contacted customer service and was informed that the issue would be resolved promptly. Followed up on the progress, only to find that the problem persisted. Customer service assured me that it was being addressed. Another attempt to open the account was made, yet the issue persisted. Numerous calls were made to customer service, each time receiving assurances that the matter was being escalated and would be resolved urgently. Despite these efforts, the late opening of my account has caused inconvenience and frustration. I have patiently cooperated with your representatives, but the lack of resolution is unacceptable. I understand that errors can occur, but the repeated assurances without tangible results are disappointing. As a customer, I expect a higher level of service and a timely resolution to such matters. I kindly request the following actions : Immediate investigation into the root cause of the issue. Transparent communication regarding the steps being taken to resolve the problem. Assurance that this issue will not affect my account 's functionality or standing once it is resolved. Compensation for the inconvenience caused during this period. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution withinthe specified timeframe from the date of this letter. Failure to address this matter promptly will compel me to escalate my complaint through appropriate regulatory channels. I am asking for your assistance to correct this late open account in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: RE : You Violated the United States Code Law NOTICE OF PENDING LITIGATION SEEKING RELIEF AND MONETARY COMPENSATION UNDER FCRA 15 U.S. Code 1681n Civil liability for willful noncompliance and 15 U.S. Code 1681o Civil liability for negligent noncompliance and 15 U.S. Code 1692k civil liability. Please accept this final written OFFER OF SETTLEMENT BEFORE LITIGATION as my attempt to amicably resolve your continued violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act regarding your refusal to delete INACCURATE, Unverifiable and Invalidated information from my consumer file. I intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 if the INACCURATE, Unverifiable and Invalidated items listed below are not deleted immediately. A copy of this letter as well as INACCURATE ERRONEOUS ITEMS sent to you previously will also become part of a formal complaint to the Federal Trade Commission and shall be used as evidence in pending litigation provided you fail to comply with this offer of settlement. YOU ARE IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE FCRA, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your investigations, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me with a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. Its very obvious that your agency doesnt know what the FCRA is because from the looks of my credit report and all the errors I see you are disregarding it so heres my breakdown. 1.The Fair Credit Reporting Act is the primary federal law that governs the collection and reporting of credit information about consumers. Its rules cover how a consumer 's credit information is obtained, how long it is kept, and how it is shared with othersincluding consumers themselves. 2. What is a FCRA violation? Creditors give reporting agencies inaccurate financial information about you. Reporting agencies mix up one person 's information with another 's because of a similar ( or same ) last name or social security number. Agencies fail to follow guidelines for handling disputes. 3. My rights under the fair credit reporting act Verify the accuracy of my report when it is required for employment purposes. Receive notification if information in my file has been used against me in applying for credit or other transactions. Disputeand have the bureaus correct and deleteinformation in my report that is incomplete, inaccurate, and unverifiable. Remove outdated, negative information ( after seven years in most cases, 10 in the case of bankruptcy ). 1. This account PAID and AGREED. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please remove it from my credit report. 2. Under 15 U.S. Code 1692j - Furnishing certain deceptive forms I am not participating in the collection of this alleged debt. Cease and desist asap XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX This is not mine. I am a victim of ID Theft and I have included a police report. Please investigate and remove from my credit report. I demand these items be deleted immediately. I entered the items and the outcome I desire above because you are in violation and these items are not 100 % accurate and they are either INACCURATE, Unverifiable and Invalidated. I recently applied for extended credit and was denied. I am in distress because of your mistakes. The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. VIOLATION OF 15 U.S. Code 1681n - Civil liability for willful noncompliance ( a ) In general Any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) ( A ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} ; or ( B ) in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or {$1000.00}, whichever is greater ; ( 2 ) such amount of punitive damages as the court may allow ; and ( 3 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.
