XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX SOC SEC # XXXX DOB XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Please be advised that this is my SECOND WRITTEN REQUEST asking you to remove the unverified accounts listed below that remain on my credit report in violation of 15 U.S.C . 1681. You are required under the FCRA to have properly verified the accuracy of an account listed on my credit report. In the results of your first re-investigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly. Where are the documents that you used to verify these accounts? What is the name of the person in your company who verified these accounts? What documents did they use to verify them? Please provide me with the name of that individual, their business address, and telephone number. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), your company is required by federal lawto verify - through the physical verification of the original signed certified consumer contract - of any and allaccounts you request to be posted and or reported on a credit report.I demand to see a copy of the Verifiable, Validated Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with a wet-inkSignature on it, copies of copies are not Validation and by Law are not considered proof ), that you have onfile for the account listed above.Under the FCRA, unverified, invalid accounts must be removed. Blacks Law Dictionary, 9th Edition, 2009, defines Verify as, 1 ) " To prove to be true ; to confirm or establish the truth or truthfulness of ; to authenticate. '' 2 ) to confirm or substantiate by oath or affidavit ; to swear to the truth of. '' and 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. What this means is that your company must be willing and able to produce a document in your files 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 if I file a lawsuit against you.

Someone in your company must authenticate the documents in your files that were used to verify the disputed accounts and to do this they must have 1st hand knowledge of the alleged account ( s ) and all that has ever transpired for the alleged account ( s ), under oath and under the penalty of perjury. As I am sure that you are well aware, current Federal case law states that, Consumer Reporting Agencies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibility must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from other sources. The Courts have also ordered that a Reinvestigation that merely shifts the burden back to the consumer and the credit grantor can not fulfill the obligations imposed by 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). You have ignored my request to provided me with the documents that you have in your files that you used to verify the disputed accounts which means that you have NOT verified or you can not verify any of these accounts and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if you fail to comply with this Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. I demand the following accounts be verified or deleted immediately.
