If you find that my claim is true and the inquiries are invalid, I am requesting that those inquiries be removed from my credit report and an updated copy of my credit report be sent to the address listed above upon resolution of the investigation. 
This is a request for you to investigate the following " Unverified '' accounts listed below. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 your company is required by federal law to verify through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract any and all accounts you post on a credit report to assure maximum accuracy. Without proper verification by your company, anyone paying for your reporting service could fax, mail, or email in a fraudulent account. 
I demand to see a copy of the Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer ContracXXXX with my Signature on it ) that you used to verify that the inquiries belonged to me the first time you reported the account on my credit report. Your failure to properly verify these inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681, unverified accounts must be promptly deleted. If you are unable to provide me with a copy of the verifiable proof that you have on file within 4 business days for each of the accounts listed below, then you must remove these accounts from my credit report. Please provide me with a copy of an updated and corrected credit report showing these things removed. 
If you find that the inquiries are valid, please send me proof, along with the description of your investigation procedures within 15 days of the closure of this dispute. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter. 

Kind regards XXXX XXXX XXXX
