Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to EXPRESS MY DEEP CONCERN AND ANNOYANCE regarding the ongoing dispute about the accuracy of the information on my credit report. Despite my previous attempts to rectify the matter, it appears that your bureau has yet to appropriately address my concerns. ACCOUNT INFORMATION : XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XXXX Balance : {$0.00}. Upon thorough review of my credit report, I have identified persistent inaccuracies in the payment history and status of the mentioned account. It is alarming to note that the Compliance/Obsolescence date, crucial for determining the 7-year reporting period, seems to have been improperly adjusted, possibly violating FCRA guidelines. I want to explicitly highlight that both XXXX and XXXX have already ACKNOWLEDGED AND REMOVED this account from their records, citing an error. I am BAFFLED as to why your bureau continues to VERIFY this information while others have PROACTIVELY RECTIFIED the issue. I must EMPHASIZE that I am THE VICTIM in this situation, and the CONTINUED IGNORING of my requests has left me EXTREMELY ANNOYED AND XXXX. The actions taken by other bureaus affirm the VALIDITY of my concerns, and I am growing increasingly FRUSTRATED by the prolonged lack of response from your end.
