XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX sc XXXX XXXX Subject : request for removal of XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  from all credit bureaus I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally dispute the presence of an account on my credit report. I request that [ Credit Bureau Name ] remove all information related to the following account : Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : [ XXXX Date of Opening : [ XX/XX/2022 Balance : [ {$500.00} I have carefully reviewed my credit report, and I believe that the inclusion of this account is inaccurate and unjust. I would like to outline the reasons for my dispute and kindly request your assistance in rectifying this matter. 

1. Inaccurate Reporting : The information provided by [ XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ] regarding this account is erroneous. According to my records, I have never opened an account with [ XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ] on the date mentioned above. Therefore, it is evident that a mistake has been made, leading to an incorrect entry on my credit report. 

2. Lack of Verification : I have not received any communication from [ XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  ] regarding this account. No correspondence, statements, or notifications have been sent to me to indicate that I owe any debt to [ XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ]. I believe it is essential for the creditor to provide verifiable evidence supporting their claim and validate the existence of this account. 

3. Statute of Limitations : Even if this account were valid, the statute of limitations for collecting this debt in [ SC ] has expired. As per the applicable laws, any claim relating to this account is no longer enforceable. Therefore, the inclusion of this account on my credit report is both misleading and unjust. 

Based on the above reasons, I kindly request that [ XXXX ] initiate an investigation into this matter and remove the disputed account from my credit report. I expect a prompt response within 30 days of your receipt of this letter, as per the guidelines outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).
