Complaint:
NOTICE OF PENDING LITIGATION SEEKING RELIEF & MONETARY DAMAGES UNDER FCRA SECTION 616 & SECTION 617 Please accept this final written OFFER OF SETTLEMENT BEFORE LITIGATION as my attempt to amicably resolve your continued violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act regarding your refusal to delete all of the UNVERIFIED account information from my consumer file.Despite my three previous requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In the results of your re- investigations, you stated that you " verified '' that these items are being " reported correctly ''? You still have not identified WHO in your COMPANY VERIFIED the accuracy of these accounts or HOW they verified them? I've yet to have received a SIGNED contract between me and the alleged company. As previously pointed out to you, Black Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, 1990, defines " Verification '' as, " Confirmation of correctness, truth or authenticity, by affidavit, oath, or deposition. Affidavit of truth of a matter stated and object of verification is to assure good faith in averments or statements of a party '' .At this time your company must be willing and able to produce a document that proves the account ( s ) in dispute belong to me and the information being reported is accurate and you must be able to do this in a court of law. Someone in your company must authenticate the documents in your files that were used to verify the disputed accounts and to do this this they must have 1st hand knowledge of the alleged account ( s ) and all that has transpired for the alleged account ( s ), under oath and under the penalty of perjury. Your failure to provide me with verifiable proof required for your company to post the accounts listed below is evidence that it does not exist and therefore is proof that you can't properly " Verify '' the accuracy of any of the disputed accounts. 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. Due to your continued willful disregard of the law I intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section617 if the UNVERIFIED items listed below are not deleted within 10 days. A copy of this complaint along with the three others will also be submitted as evidence in pending litigation provided you fail to comply with this offer of settlement. The law is very clear as to the civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with the Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. In order to avoid legal action I demand that you delete all the unverified accounts listed below immediately & provide me with a copy of updated and corrected credit report showing that these items have been deleted
