You have listed incorrect accounts that should not be reflecting on my credit report at all. Not only is this really unfair for me, but also very troublesome, as I have never committed or made any of the things you're claiming I did. Investigate these accounts or I will see to it that I will pursue legal actions.

My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon, and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties, and I did not participate in any of it. More so, the debt collectors broke the rules laid out in 15 USC 1692g. This means they needed to properly validate the alleged debt they claim I owe. They're supposed to provide evidence that the debt is real when asked, but they didn't. This violates my rights, tarnishes my reputation, and adds to the stress of dealing with them. According to the FDCPA Im entitled to {$1000.00} dollars per violation and clearly, they violated my rights.
