Complaint:
I am writing to dispute the following information in my file. I recently received a copy of my  XXXX   XXXX  credit report. The credit report showed credit inquiries that I dont recall authorizing. I understand that you should n't be allowed to put an inquiry on my file unless I have authorized it.

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  Sectio  n 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) (   A ) ( i ).
