      Dear ******* ******:

      Innovis received the complaint you submitted to the Better Business Bureau, reference number
      ********, on 9/12/2022. In your complaint, you request that information be removed from your
      Innovis Credit Report.

      Per your previous request, initiated on Innovis.com on 9/9/2022, Innovis initiated disputes with the
      following creditors, asking that they verify the accuracy and completeness of their accounts:
      • ******* **** ******** account ending #****
      • **** ******* ****** ***** account ending #****

      In response to your complaint:
      • As of 9/19/2022, ******* **** ******** conducted their own investigation and certified the
      accuracy and completeness of account ending #0732. We have not yet received a response from
      **** ******* ****** *****.
      • Please note that consumer reporting agencies like Innovis do not maintain original documents
      concerning your relationship with your creditors. You may contact your creditors directly to
      request those documents. Innovis provides creditor contact information in the investigation
      results that we send out.
      • The mailing address you provided, ***** ******** **** ** ***** ********* ** *****, is not on
      your Innovis Credit Report. To protect your information, we will only send your investigation
      results to a verified address. Please provide proof of this address with a Driver’s License, recent
      and complete Utility Bill, W2, Pay Stub, Bank Statement or Credit Union Statement that includes
      your full name and current address. You may provide that documentation to the mailing address
      listed below, or by using the link that was emailed to you. After proof of your address is
      received, the investigation results will be mailed to you separately.

      If you have additional documentation that supports your dispute, you may provide it to Innovis by mail,
      or online if the dispute is initiated on Innovis.com.

      Please accept this response to the complaint we received regarding Mr. ****** on 08/25/2022. We researched the consumer’s request through our processing system, and were unable to locate any previous correspondence or contact from Mr. ******. We contacted Mr. ****** by phone on 08/30/2022 to discuss his concerns.    

      Our records indicate that our client* ****** ********* ***, accessed a copy of Mr. ******** credit report on 10/14/2021 and 09/29/2020. Per our conversation, we disputed these inquiries with the Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs).

      Factual Data provides credit information from CRAs to its clients, which are primarily banks, mortgage companies and other lending institutions that have a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to obtain credit information for lending purposes.

      Innovis is refusing to remove a negative account (**** ***** ******) stating the account has been verified. However, **** ***** ****** claims to have told all of the credit reporting agencies to remove this account. Innovis has refused to remove it. I've attached screenshot where **** states they've told all of the Credit Reporting Agencies to remove the account. Innovis is in clear violation and violating my consumer rights as well as violating FCRA guidelines.

      ***** **** - gregory 7507 Detroit, Mi, 48239 Dear all, believe your company has violated several of my consumer rights. Specifically you: - Failed to validate a debt at my request?FDCPA violation -Continued to report a disputed debt to the CRA?FCRA violation Not only have you ignored my prior requests for validation of debt (proof enclosed- receipt copies or letter copies), but you continue to report this debt to the credit bureaus, causing damage to my character. This letter will again request that you follow the FDCPA and provide the following: Validation of Debt Request - Proof of your right to own/collect this alleged debt -Balance claimed including all fees, interest, and penalties -Contract bearing my personal signature As you may be aware, "Estoppel by Silence" legally means that you had a duty to speak, but failed to do so. Therefore, that must mean you agree with me that this debt is false. I will use the Estoppel in my defense. I expect to receive proof requested above, within 15 days of this letter. Should you again ignore my request for validation of debt I reserve the right to sue your company for violations of my consumer rights as indicated under both the FDCPA and the FCRA. I may seek damages from you if warranted. The Debts involved are as follows: Verizon Southeast $1607 Verizon Southeast $250 The Bank of Missouri UM Student LN Capital One Sincerely, ***** ****

      Innovis received the complaint you submitted to the Better Business Bureau, complaint ID 16379694, on 12/20/2021. In your complaint, you request validation of accounts from your creditors. You also request that we make corrections to your credit report.


      In response to your complaint:


      ? Per your 12/14/2021 and 12/18/2021 requests initiated on Innovis.com, Innovis reviewed your requests and initiated a dispute with the following creditors, asking that they conduct an investigation and validate the accuracy and completeness of their reporting of their accounts:
      o First Premier Bank accounts ending #6217 and #1889
      o Total Visa/TBOM account ending #2300
      o Verizon Wireless accounts ending #0001 and #0002
      o University Of Michigan account ending #1ADB


      ? On 12/17/2021, Verizon Wireless accounts ending #0001 and #0002 show as paid. As of 12/23/2021, we have not received a response from the remaining creditors.


      ? Consumer reporting agencies like Innovis do not maintain original documents concerning your relationship with your creditors. You may contact your creditors directly to request those documents. Innovis provides creditor contact information in the investigation results that we send out.


      If you have additional documentation that supports your dispute, you may send the information to the address/fax number below. Upon completion, the investigation results will be mailed to you separately. The investigation results will include an updated copy of your Innovis Credit Report.


      If the reinvestigation process with your creditors does not resolve your dispute, you may file a brief statement with Innovis setting forth your dispute. We will include this statement in any subsequent consumer report containing the information in question. The statement may contain up to 200 words. If you would like to add a consumer statement, please mail or fax the statement to the address/fax number below. Alternatively, you may contact the source of the information directly.
