Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request.

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information.

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my consumer report. It has come to my attention that your agency is reporting information on my consumer report without my consent, thereby failing to apply maximum accuracy in accordance with your vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit information as stipulated in 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ). 
Furthermore, I am aware that your company policy requires you to maintain written consent from me, the consumer, authorizing you to report any account on my consumer report. Federal law under 15 U.S.C. 1681b requires that you must have either court jurisdiction or a handwritten letter from me giving you permissible purpose to report such information. Your failure to adhere to these requirements constitutes a violation of my privacy. 
Additionally, as a financial institution, you are obligated to uphold maximum privacy of my nonpublic personal information pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 6801 ( a ), which states that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. 
Moreover, I demand that your agency immediately cease and desist all illegal activities and all mediums of communication related to the collection of this alleged debt. Your persistent attempts to contact me at inconvenient times have caused significant disruption and damages, affecting my business hours of operation. I am fully aware that a medium of communication also includes my consumer report, and I demand the deletion of the account reported on my consumer report. 
I demand that your agency promptly investigate this matter and remove the inaccurate information from my consumer report. Please provide me with a written response detailing the actions you have taken to rectify this situation within 30 days of receipt of this letter. 
Failure to comply with these demands will leave me no choice but to pursue all available legal remedies to protect my rights and seek compensation for the damages caused by your actions.
