I want to emphasize that I did not provide written authorization for the inclusion of these specific transactions in my consumer report. Therefore, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report. It is crucial to clarify that this request is not due to any oversight or error on my part. Rather, it stems from the fact that I did not expressly permit these transactions to be included in my report.

I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

After receiving an unsatisfactory response to my initial dispute, I promptly escalated the matter by filing a second dispute with the bureau. As per the FCRA, the agency is obligated to notify the furnisher of the disputed information and provide them with all relevant documentation. However, they failed to fulfill this obligation, and as a result, the furnisher continued to report the inaccurate information without any verification or correction. I also requested identifying information in reference to any supporting documentation to sustain why the items Ive disputed are continuing to report. I received nothing. 

In my previous complaint, I specifically requested identifying information and supporting documentation to justify why the disputed items are still being reported. To date, I have received no such documentation or any satisfactory explanation. 

The continued reporting of inaccurate information on my credit report is causing me significant distress and harm. 

I demand that the credit bureau take action on the following items immediately.
