You are required under FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors ' documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your investigations, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly. However, you have not provided me with a copy of any original documentation, including a consumer contract with my signature on it, as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). 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 demand these items be deleted immediately. I recently applied for extended credit and was denied due to your mistakes. 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. I fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide me with written confirmation of the actions taken to comply with my demand. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
