Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

I am writing to formally dispute the information you are reporting regarding the following debt : Account Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX I believe this account is being reported inaccurately, and I request that you immediately delete this entry from my credit report. I am asserting that the debt has not been properly validated and that its reporting is in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g.

Dispute Details I dispute the accuracy of this debt for the following reasons : 1. Failure to Validate the Debt : Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, the debt collector is required to validate the debt by providing proof of the debt, including the name of the creditor, the amount owed, and the original account number. To date, I have not received the necessary debt validation. As such, the information provided by the debt collector is inaccurate and incomplete. 
2. Failure to Follow Required Procedures for Reporting : Under 15 U.S.C. 1666b, a creditor may not report a payment as " late '' unless the creditor has sent a periodic statement to the consumer at least 21 days before the payment due date. If the creditor failed to follow this procedure, the debt is being inaccurately reported.

I demand that you provide evidence that the creditor followed the proper reporting procedures before the debt was marked as late. 
3. Violation of the FCRA : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, furnishers of information to CRAs are required to report accurate and complete information. The reporting of this debt by [ Debt Collector 's Name ] appears to be inaccurate, as they have failed to validate the debt and have not provided the necessary documentation to prove the debt 's legitimacy. As such, this constitutes a violation of their duties under the FCRA. 

Demand for Action Because this debt has not been properly validated and the information provided is inaccurate, I demand that you immediately delete this account from my credit report.

FDCPA Violation : The debt collectors failure to validate this debt is a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692g.

Given these violations, you are legally prohibited from continuing to report this debt to any consumer reporting agencies. Failure to remove this inaccurate and incomplete information is causing significant harm to my credit and financial reputation.
