I have recently discovered that other credit bureaus have already removed this account from their records as they did not provide enough information for me to verify this debt.

Given the lack of information provided to verify this debt, I request that you cease reporting this account immediately. Without proper validation and information, continuing to report this account is not only inaccurate but also incomplete and unverifiable.
