To Whom It May Concern : I am XXXX XXXX representing MYSELF and I am the consumer in fact and not a third party. 

I am communicating with you directly as requested regarding concerns/ issues with my credit report. This letter represents my formal request to again dispute the aforementioned accounts as well as inquiries which are illegally being reported on my account. 

It was communicated to me to reach out to each individual agency to expedite the removal. As of the date of this letter, it has been over thirty days with no compliance to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) enacted by the United States Congress. By their findings, it is now my legal right to have these accounts and inquiries ( FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681n ) removed. 

I understand the individual in receipt of this letter is most likely not an attorney. Therefore, I have attached the laws and definitions to educate any person of my legal rights in the United States of America. 

I appreciate you understanding how this adversely affects me and is in violation of my rights. Thank you for helping me take this federal matter seriously!
