Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports

Credit reporting agency has not conducted a proper investigation, nor have they provided proof/evidence of the investigation. After this, they have failed to removed erroneous info. 

To Whom It May Concern : I received a copy of my credit report with the intention of trying to improve my credit and take care of my responsibilities and noticed a few accounts that I wanted a little more explanation on. I am not saying they are reporting right or wrong. I am just saying that I am not 100 percent sure if they are. I also read something called the Fair Credit Reporting Act where it said by law, I had rights to challenge anything I am not sure is accurate. Some of the people reporting things on me, I have never heard of which made me write to you all.Are you familiar with something called 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a )? if you cant provide proof, these accounts must be deleted. You have not truly updated nor provided me any proof. 

Well I want these accounts deleted if they are not 100 percent right and correct. So, could you please check on these again and get back with me? I saw on a Credit Site and Board where this lawyer said you have 30 days to complete this investigation. 

Please investigate the following accounts and remove them or provide proof of validation.
