Not unlike a complaint written by William of Ashburn, Virginia I face the same issue accept I have been living out of the US for the past 5 years. I am from Alaska and they have me down as owing them some $1400.00 for a phone in Boston. I sent in copies of my passport, work permits, everything that would be required to prove residency to any Government agency through the world were I live but that was not acceptable to them. To take it one step further I still haven't been told which phone company I supposedly owe this money to.

Something also needs to be done regarding the way credit reporting agencies are allowed to place derogatory credit remarks in a persons credit report (Your in collections for something)information that is unproven and do it with complete impunity. In addition, they have no legal obligation to remove these items from a report either. Issue in point, back in 1993 the Kootnie County Idaho tax assessors reported a tax lean against me in error which they removed within a week. Since then I have hired attorneys the Kootnie County Idaho tax assessor has written letters and the credit reporting firms still refuse to take it off of my credit report stating its not their responsibility to remove it if not theirs then whos?????

Here are some relevant sections from the FCRA indicated that yes, the CRAs have a responsibility to remove inaccurate information. The problem is, they never validate (to request information from the creditor that proves you are responsibleby procuding your signature on a contract) the information as they are supposed to.

611(a)(4): Consideration of consumer information. In conducting any reinvestigation under paragraph (1) with respect to disputed information in the file of any consumer, the consumer reporting agency shall review and consider all relevant information submitted by the consumer in the period described in paragraph (1)(A) with respect to such disputed information.

611(a)(5)(A): In general. If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph (1) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or cannot be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall promptly delete that item of information from the consumer's file or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation.

I have already submitted to the FTC several complaints against CRAs. Once they recieve a certain number or see a pattern, the FTC will "go after" the CRA.
