XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Tx XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 2000 XXXX, PA XXXX XX/XX/XXXX To Whom it may concern, This letter is to inform you that I recently received a copy of my credit report that your company publishes and after reviewing it I found a number of items on the report that are inaccurate. The accounts in question are Listed below. 

Please send me copies of the documents that you have in your files as of this date that you used to verity the accuracy of the accounts listed below. 

XXXX In previous disputes you claimed that this account was verified and is following The Fair Credit Reporting Act. How can this account been verified? You XXXX has completely different monthly payments ( {$100.00} ), Date Opened ( XX/XX/XXXX ), Balance ( {$130.00} ), More Serious Reporting errors you have a Past Due amount of {$100.00} along with numerous late payments attached to a account that XXXX has reported as a Charge Off while you still have the account as 120 months late. None of the last reported or last payment match XXXX or XXXX. I question if this is even the same account because again the account number you report does not match XXXX or XXXX. 
A Charge Off account should never have Late payments due to it being late by default. 
Please send me copies of the documents that you have in your files as of this date that you used to verity the accuracy of the accounts listed below. 

XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX I disputed this several times to inform you this isn't my account and I was a victim of identity fraud and yet the account still remains. I have a report from Identity Theft. Gov listing this account. But even then This account as well has late payments attached to an already defaulted Charged Off Account if I was the owner. Along with that the date open, date last active and last reported do not match XXXX. This is a direct violations of my rights. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX This account also has a Past Due Amount that is against the law to report on a Charged Off Account. The open date does not match XXXX, nor does the Last Active Date. This is unacceptable. I feel like this was a mistake that was made to purposely affect my credit reports even harder. You have violated about every one of my rights and the laws that govern me. 

XXXX YOU ONCE AGAIN HAVE BEEN REPORTING A PAST DUE BALANCE AND EACH MONTH IT SHOWS I MISSED ANOTHER PAYMENT ON A CHARGED OFF ACCOUNT. Not only that though it has a balance of {$20000.00} which is no where close to the past due amount that XXXX and XXXX have. Not one thing is accurate on this account compared the others. These furnish the same account numbers but none of the reporting information is accurate. 

KIKOFF-XXXX  This account has the payment status as late 90 days but in the two year history it does not show one late payment. How is that possible. The date opened, date last reported, date last active along with the last payment are not even close to being accurate. 

I WANT THIS ACCOUNTS DELETED OFF MY CREDIT PROFILE. THEY HAVE CAUSED A FINANCIAL STRAIN SOME FOR MANY YEARS. YOU CONTINUE TO VIOLATE MY RIGHTS AND BREAK THE LAWS EACH DAY THESE ARE ON MY REPORT. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681g | have the right to demand that you disclose to me all of the documents that you have recorded and retained in your file at the time of this request concerning the accounts that you are reporting in my credit report.
