XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX SSN : XXXX XX/XX/2024 To Whom It May Concern : I sent a request for an investigation under FRA 611 ( a ) to you in reference to the following account ( s ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX THIS IS MY 3rd NOTICE REGARDING THESE FRAUDULENT ACCOUNTS You all have failed to reinvestigate these fraudulent accounts as you or required too I am hurt and confused to see I received a letter advising that you " VERIFIED '' the information. I am curious as to how you verified this information and would like to receive physical documentation to support this erroneous information on my report. Ive been a victim of identity theft so there is no way you were able to verify anything. FCRA states information reporting has to be 100 % verifiable and 100 % accurate otherwise the information must be removed under federal law. Your company has been reporting unverifiable and inaccurate information on my credit report which has damaged my credit. I intend to litigate if this information is not DELETED from my report. Please do not " update '' or " verify this information again without doing a due diligence investigation. I am requesting to be provided with the written contract & physical documentation to support the information that is being reported on my credit report via USPS mail. Screenshots will not suffice. Send my actual signature on a contract. As this debt is Not mine. I am asking for this verification because my credit score is important to me, and after learning of my identity being compromised I believe it is being unjustly degraded as a result of this unfortunate error. I would therefore request that you please do no send me a template letter in response to this request. I am in the process of planning a legal case, so I will need specific answers to the specific questions asked of you in this letter. I have faith that your establishment will do the right thing and truly investigate this matter and if you do not have proof the debt is valid which you will not because of identity theft then please DELETE the information. I expect to receive a response within 15 days of receipt of this letter, or I will expect to see the items in question permanently expunged from my record. 

Regards, XXXX XXXX

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the charge-off entries on my credit report associated with the account from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX * According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute information that is inaccurate, incomplete and indicates not my account. 

I have received a 1099-C form from the creditor, indicating that the debt related to this account has been canceled and reported as income to the IRS. As such, the debt is no longer valid, and the continued reporting of this charge-off is misleading and inaccurate. Resulting in my rights to be violated that are protected by the FCRA laws. I request that the charge-off entries be removed from my credit report to reflect the cancellation of the debt immediately. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue Thank you for your assistance. 

Sincerely,

I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. These accounts were taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, these accounts shouldn't be in my report. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

I then was also not provided knowledge and instructions on how to opt- out of my personal information being reported. In addition I have late payments that are being listed that were never verified and violated my rights per 15 USC 1666b. Both the credit furnisher and reporting agencies are in violation of these acts. They are unable to provide adequate verifiable proof. Lack of this acceptable proof based on the claim is lack of Corporate Compliance and a crime. If the proper recordings matching the letters are not rectified within 30 days and updated immediately with proof of the update. I will next exercise my rights to take legal actions. Since both parties are currently the acting fiduciary agents over my entrusted interests and information. I will bring claims against every company and pressure an investigative review in pursuit of remedy.

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
