Complaint:
I have recently been informed that there is negative information reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the file you maintain under my Social Security number. Upon reviewing a copy of my credit report, I see an entry listing a Collection/Charge Off, which you claim I owe a balance of {$2600.00}. 
More specifically, I am referencing the fact that you are reporting the following : No account number given. Where is the account number? Last payment made was on XX/XX/XXXX ; however, in the description of payment history, it states that the account was in good standing in XX/XX/XXXX listed as OK referring to a payment received within a 30 day period. Furthermore, what date was the account closed? Credit card companies charge off accounts after 180 days of nonpayment and in this case the account would have been closed in XX/XX/XXXX. Why then are they reporting 180 days late in XX/XX/XXXX which would have been 210 days and 30 days after the closure of the account? The above information pertaining to this account in inaccurate and highly damaging to my credit score. Please remove immediately. 
I challenge the accuracy, compliance and reportability of this listing. 
Please validate this information with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and provide me with copies of any documentation associated with this account, bearing my signature. In the absence of any such documentation bearing my signature, I formally request that this information be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my Social Security number.

Failure to respond within 30 days of receipt of this certified letter may result in small claims legal action against your company at my local venue. I would be seeking a minimum of {$1000.00} in damages per violation for : Defamation Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( Including but not limited to Section 807-8 ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( Including but not limited to Section 623-b ) Please Note : This is an attempt to correct your records, and any information received from you will be collected as evidence should any further action be necessary.
