Now that you have violated the FCRA, I`m now entitled to XXXX per occurrence of each violation. 
I intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I`m entitled to under Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) if the XXXX account with a balance of XXXX- account # XXXX is not deleted immediately. 

I`m filing this complaint through the Federal Trade Commission because this will be used as evidence in pending litigation provided you fail to comply with this offer of settlement. 

This item listed on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to mark this item as disputed by consumer within the first 30 calendar days since my first dispute in XX/XX/2016 and provide me a copy of my original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it and yet you still have failed to honor my demand. 

Do not send me bank statements, or payment history in replacement of not sending me the original consumer contract with my signature on it. 

I hereby demand immediately deletion of the XXXX account with a balance of XX/XX/XXXX- account # XXXX from my report in which you violated Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 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 immediately. 


Please note, you have already violated Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which you failed to mark as disputed within the first 30 days of my first dispute in 2016, which entitles me to XXXX for damages and other violations by not providing me a copy of the original contract with my signature. Be aware that I am making a final goodwill attempt to have you clear up this matter. The listed item is entirely inaccurate and incomplete and represents a very serious error in your reporting. I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you, thats why Im filing this complaint through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
