Complaint:
XXXX/XXXX/16 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Fl XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX Account Number Num : Balance {$220.00} Sir or Madam, I am writing in regards account XXXX on my credit report. I have filed a complain to the CFPB, that I do not believe I owe what you say I owe and, in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g, Section 809 ( b ) : Validating Debts : ( b ) If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. 
I must remind you that in my previous letter I requested the following information : ( 1 ) The amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) Provide a verification or copy of any judgment ( if applicable ) ; ( 4 ) Proof that you are licensed to collect debts in ( insert name of your state ) ( 5 ) Provide the actual Bills Statements ( 6 ) Payment Receive I also requested that if you have reported me to any credit reporting agency, that you inform them that I have placed this debt in dispute and to provide me with proof that you have done so. Furthermore, I asked that you immediately send a copy of that dispute letter to the company ( creditor ) that you say I owe money so they are also aware of my dispute with this debt. 
As of today, you have failed to respond to my requests! For your convenience, I have included a copy of my previous letter and a copy of the mail receipt showing that you received my letter on { insert date from mail receipt }. 
Since you have failed to respond I assume that you have been unable to validate the debt and therefore, I consider this matter closed. You may consider this letter your official notification that I do not intend to correspond with you on this matter again unless you comply with my requests, the FDCPA and the FCRA. 

I must remind you that any attempt to collect this debt without validating it, violates the FDCPA and that I am recording all phone calls and keeping all correspondence concerning this matter. Be advised that I will not hesitate to report violations of the law to my State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission and the national XXXX.

Complaint:
I have been working very hard to repair my credit with all XXXX agencies for two years! I have called, written, disputed and have completed everything all XXXX agencies have asked. I contacted XXXX XXXX and decided not to use their services as I have been following the exact practices myself. I have opened new accounts and all are paid as agreed.

I have been watching my scores using the Annual Credit Report, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX. 
After all of this, my score has increased only XXXX points! It hovers around XXXX and will change up to XXXX points per month without any additional credit activity. I feel all XXXX agencies are not giving me the attention deserved and are preventing me from purchasing a home and acquiring credit. 
I have reached my boiling as Every time I complete a task they require to raise my score, another issue seems to appear to prevent the increase. 
Any help will be much appreciated.

If you had investigated properly rather then using your XXXX system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to " Verified ''. Since you 've obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in XXXX v XXXX, XXXX v. XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX v. XXXX, Equifax et, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA could n't merely " Parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the XXXX system that does n't even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. 

If you do n't initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as it is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Which I 'm sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter ends up in court. 
I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you.
