Cc : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Cc : Attorney Generals Office Cc : Better Business Bureau I received no response in the 30 days allowed under the FCRA I followed up with the following letter on XX/XX/XXXX, sent USPS certified mail with signature.

To Whom it May Concern : This letter is a follow up to my original letter dated XXXX regarding an inaccuracy in your credit reporting, regarding account # XXXX, as reported by XXXX, which claims I owe a combined {$3500.00} ( 2 accounts under the same account number that have been marked as default/derogatory by the same creditor ) By not replying in a timely manner to my initial letter on XX/XX/XXXX, you have not only violated federal law, but you have also failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature, showing the account is being reported accurately. 
Be aware that I am making a final goodwill attempt to have you clear up this matter. The listed item is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and represents a very serious error in your reporting. 
Failure to comply with federal regulations by credit reporting agencies are investigated by the Federal Trade Commission ( see 15 USC 41, et seq. ). I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC and the Attorney Generals office, should you continue in your non-compliance. I further remind you that, as in XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX, No. XXXX ( C.D.Cal.XX/XX/XXXX ), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. 
As you have now violated federal law, by not properly investigating within the required timeframe, and I have evidence of such, via certified mail receipts, you must now remove the item. Any other action ( or in-action ) on your behalf will result in a small claims action against your company.

I will be seeking {$5000.00} in damages for : 1. ) Defamation 2. ) Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud 3. ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act You will be required to appear in a court venue local to me, in order to formally defend yourself.

P.S. Please be aware that dependent upon your response, I may be detailing any potential issues with your company via an online public press release, including documentation of any potential small claims action. 

I also received NO response to this letter either.
