These accounts are invalid, inaccurate, not timely, illegal and carry no documented evidence of their existence. To the least, they have not been authenticated as per my requirements as you are damaging my character, creditworthiness, and wellbeing by falsely stating those non-compliant unverifiable accounts on my report. 
I have not received any confirmation on how the credit bureaus have verified the alleged accounts and therefore request that you consider this. I am trying to rectify the subterfuge that the credit bureaus are reporting. 
I have not received confirmation nor certified testimony that the credit bureaus complied with FCRA and all its mandated rules when it comes to reporting accurately. I asked the credit bureaus to present to me a certificate in testimony that the alleged accounts are in fact compliant and not subterfuge. 

I have reached out to the credit bureaus by certified mail. These are the accounts that I am referring to : XXXX XXXX Alleged account # : XXXX XXXX Alleged account # : XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX account # : XXXX XXXX Bank Alleged account # : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Alleged account # : XXXX Attached are the letters that were sent certified to each bureau.
