Complaint:
This is the fourth time I have contacted your company and you have still failed to delete the disputed accounts your company could not verify. After this letter, be advised that I intend to pursue litigation for the damages your company has brought to me and my family. Based off the fact that your company has yet to forward any documents to me, show me any proof, and the fact that its already been 2 months so you have CLEARLY violated Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) and continue to show your blatant disregard for Federal Law. The Federal case law states that, Consumer Reporting Agencies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibility must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from other sources. Thats all your company has been doing the past couple of months and it is against the law and clearly in violation of 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). I also asked you to give me the name of the person in your company who verified the accuracy of these accounts but you ignored this request as well which is another violation of Federal Law! The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. Just remember when we go to litigation and your company is required to produce these documents along with an affidavit swearing under oath that these are the true and correct documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts. So once again, please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. I request that you do this immediately, which I am sure you are already aware of. ; Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Reason : pls verify and validate all data for this account, every notation, dates, and balances, whether reported or not and I would like to be provided proof the method for which you are verifying as well as the exact details that match because without exact matches this account must be removed immediately as per FCRA. On top of it, this is a collection account, and the collector needs to prove that this debt can survive collection, that they own this debt and the extent to which they can collect this debt and that all their details match the original creditor. Without it, must be removed.
