Complaint:
Your negligence has caused me harm, since it has affected my ability to obtain new credit. Since you have not provided me with any documentation, I am under the impression that you can not verify these accounts. Therefore you must comply with the provision 15USC section 168i ( a ) of the FCRA and remove the disputed items form my credit reports immediately. If I do not receive a revised credit report, with the items removed at my current address, I will pursue my legal rights with an attorney under 15 USC section 1681n or 1681o " Civil liability for willful noncompliance ''. Your company may be liable for : actual damage I sustained by your failure to delete items, punitive damages as the court allows, and cost of the court action plus attorney 's fees. Since XXXX of 2016, I have been sending certified letters regarding XXXX XXXX via the credit bureaus asking for validation and verification of several accounts that were listed on my credit report. I asked for copies of the applications with my signature proving these were my accounts. I always received a letter from XXXX XXXX asking for clarity of my dispute, I could n't be any clearer, I want proof these are my accounts. If you can not provide a signed contract/agreement between myself and XXXX XXXX, then you must delete the accounts from my credit report. This is what I stated in my letters : 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 dont 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 accounts must be promptly deleted. 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. The credit bureau continues to send updates stating the accounts are " verified '' and have neglected to provide any documentation and are in constant violation of the FCRA.
