Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: Despite my previous 4 written requests, the unverified items listed still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. They stated in their responses to my 4 dispute letters that they have verified that the items listed are accurate but they failed to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that they have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like they said they did. Their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of your willful disregard of Federal Law.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times of how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act. According to 15 use 1681 ( 5 ) The credit bureaus said everything was complete and accurate and I asked them how if the open date is wrong. Then I ask them to provide me description of the investigation according to 15 USC 1681 ( 7 ) and they never did. I have proof of my letter for that. Also according to 15 USC 1681 s-2 A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. This is violation after violation after violation. This is causing me stress because I have no hope with this system
