      Debt collector took me to court and lost. The judge ruled the judgement in my favor because the Bureaus representative couldn't provide proof that they owned the debt. Despite this and many disputes, the Bureau's still haven't removed the account from my credit report.

      Unfortunately, we were unable to conduct an investigation into this review because we do not have any account matching the information provided. We need more information to identify the account such as: ********************** account number, original account number, name as it appeared on the account, date of birth or last four digits of your social security number.

      This company was instructed to take there account off of my credit report over two years ago. I reached out to the company to see what was going on. The customer ********************** agents were very rude and nasty. They began making threats stating they will see me in court or in jail. I stated to them I would be making a COMPLAINT AGAINST THEM, THEY VIOLATED MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. They are very unprofessional and very rude. 15 USC Section602 States I have the right to privacy. 15 USC **** Section 604A Section 2 It also states a consumer reporting agency cannot furnish an account without my written instructions. 15 USC 166B: A creditor may not treat a payment credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any6 purpose.
