Mediahub247 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Ok so, due to being ignored by the bureaus, i have sent my 3rd letter to all 3 bureaus warning them that i will be sending a formal complaint to the FTC, however i have never gotten this far. Can someone please assist me in writing a letter to the FTC about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Seaward Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Don't waste your time with that. Go see a consumer lawyer and sue them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances that they handle your situation individually are slim to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the government agencies will do jack squat for you. Go see a consumer rights lawyer and get yourself paid by these bozos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to check the CFPB website and see if they even allow complaints by mail. It doesn't matter if you have been handling everything with the bureaus by mail. What matters is HOW the CFPB wants the complaint filed. 10 hours ago, Mediahub247 said: And also, what is the best way to write the letter to them With absolutely NO facts in your post to support your claims it is impossible to tell you how to draft a complaint to the CFPB.

They're in violation of the FCRA if they never responded. However, it's upon you to prove you filed a proper dispute and that a response was never issued. I agree that you should take your information to a consumer attorney to make sure all of your ducks are in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate all your responses, i have an understanding of law to the effect that i always represent myself in court. Should I file a complaint thru CFPB or FTC and than go to the courthouse and file suit? Would that be my next step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONE more time: the FTC does not handle these issues anymore. That is why the CFPB was created. File suit based on WHAT? There are absolutely NO facts in any of your posts that would induce the volunteers here to tell you to head down to the court house and file a Federal suit. 23 minutes ago, Mediahub247 said: Would that be my next step?

Are you sure? You keep asking questions that someone would ask only if they were ignorant of the law. For the last time, filing a complaint with the FTC, CFPB, BBB, ABC or 123 is a complete waste of time. They will do NOTHING for you. Nothing at all. The reason is they aren't there to go to battle for individual consumers. Their sole function is to accumulate several complaints (thousands or tens of thousands) of the same type and then investigate and possibly take action. It's a 3-5 year process and, again, the consumers that filed the complaints get nothing in return but the satisfaction of knowing they made a 1/20,000th contribution to change. The most effective way (and probably the only way) to get an outcome in your favor is to sue them in Federal court. If you understand the law as you claim, then file away. But then again, you would have done this already if you did in fact know what you're doing. Go talk to a lawyer. If even 1/2 of what you're telling us here (which isn't much, actually) is true, a legitimate consumer rights lawyer will take the case on contingency. That means you won't have to pay him anything. He will get paid by the CRAs when he wins (or settles) the case. The end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based upon the meager nformation you have provided, you are neither a litigant nor do you have the knowledge to proceed pro se. Consult with an attorney.
