Complaint:
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 several items on the report that are inaccurate/no proof that it belongs to the alleged debtor. 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 verify the accuracy of the accounts listed below.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681g I 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. Please DO NOT respond to my request by saying that these accounts have been verified. Send me copies of the documents that you have in your files that were used to verify them. If you do not have any documentation in your files to verify the accuracy of these disputed accounts, then please delete them immediately as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ). By publishing these inaccurate and unverified items on my credit report and distributing them to 3rd parties you are damaging my reputation and credit worthiness.

Under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i, all unverified/no contract accounts must be promptly deleted. Also, in accordance with FCRA regulations, any account that does not bear an original signature on contract stating that the alleged debt holder agrees to pay or verified such debt must be removed immediately. Therefore, if you are unable to provide me with a copy of the verifiable proof that you have on file for each of the accounts listed below within 30 days of receipt of this letter then you must remove these accounts from my credit report. During the verification and validation of accounts, please note that federal law requires that all accounts under review are to be removed from credit reports until validated and verified. In accordance with federal guidelines on debt collection practices, verifiable proof would be a signed contract ( bearing original print signature ; excludes electronic signature ) between alleged debtor and creditor reporting an account to the credit repository. If no such contract exists, then by federal law the CRA is require under FCRA to remove the account ( s ). Failure to abide by federal guidelines could result in government sanctions, punitive damages being paid to alleged debtor. As a CRA, it is your responsibility to verify validity and accuracy of items reported. The CRA is has 30 days to verify and provide documented proof to alleged debtor. Please also provide your bonding agent should legal recourse in this matter be necessary.

Please provide me with a copy of an updated and corrected credit report showing these items removed, I demand the following accounts be properly verified or removed immediately.
