In another letter dated XX/XX/2024 from XXXX XXXX, they stated that their records indicate that the last scheduled payment has not been received and the account is now XXXX or more days past due. 

Since my initial letter on XX/XX/2024, I have yet to receive any of the information I demanded from XXXX XXXX. 

On XX/XX/2024 I certified mailed a final warning to XXXX XXXX stating that if the unverified accounts were not removed, I would resort to taking legal action as per my rights.
