I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. 
This company is reporting inaccurate high credit amounts, Last reporting dates, Date last Active, and Date of last payment. In pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681 Congressional Findings, The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.
