Greetings. Let me do the recap that this present complaint was for the follow up of my latest complaint of finding myself as a victim of the negligence of Credit Bureaus. I hereby reiterate my request for the deletion of remaining items from my credit file, which resulted from fraudulent activity. According to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), you are required to expunge any such items no later than XXXX business days following XX/XX/XXXX. This issue has been previously brought to your attention in an FTC report and complaint, and I am referencing it again with the new FTC Report # XXXX. Additionally, the details associated with these items are unfamiliar to me and have already been removed by other bureaus, which casts doubt on their accuracy. This complaint serves as a formal notice that failure to remove the specified items from my reports may compel me to initiate legal action. My attorney has been informed of my intentions and is prepared to pursue accountability for any deliberate non-compliance. This message constitutes my latest notice to you, requesting the removal of items linked to alleged fraudulent activity.
