I have sent numerous letters by mail and have not heard anything back. I have seen updates on my credit report in the comments that the accounts have been disputed and dispute resolved. But how can an account with inaccurate information still reporting be resolved by law!

I have provided screen shots of the inaccurate information and request that this gets updated immediately! I also provided you with a my Government issued Id so this issue will not be delayed. Thank you.
