The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

I contacted my bank to find out why a cancelled transaction of {$28.00} from a retailer had not been re-applied to my checking account. The agent to which I spoke told me my bank had not yet received the refund. When I then contacted the retailer, I discovered from them that they had immediately sent the refund authorization to the bank, and that the bank was holding the refund from my account, while often not admitting that fact to the account holder. 
Upon recontacting the bank I let them know what the retailer revealed and thereby forced them to admit their 'customer service ' had lied about not receiving the refund. 
However, the bank representative held firm on holding up my refund for up to 7 days before returning it to my account. 
Why are banks allowed to hold up funds owed to me and also allowed to lie about that fact?

I am writing to address the presence of unauthorized transactions in my consumer report, which I did not authorize or instruct. As a result, I formally request the blocking and removal of these accounts without any inaccuracies or misrepresentation of facts. Below, I have listed the specific accounts in question : It appears that your organization may be violating 15 U.S.C 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ), which prohibits a consumer report from solely containing information about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the entity reporting the information. 

This statute explicitly states that XXXX, as the reporting entity, should not include transactions or experiences associated with the line of credit extended between the consumer and the reporting entity in my consumer report. 

I urge you to promptly update my utilization to 5 % or below within 10 calendar days or remove all utilization from the mentioned accounts. 

Furthermore, I request that you provide all documents on which you rely for reporting the referenced accounts, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ). The information you are reporting is damaging to my reputation and adversely affecting my creditworthiness. 

Therefore, I demand the removal of these accounts from my file within 30 days, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), or verification of these accounts.

Additionally, along with the removal of erroneous and unverified information, kindly eliminate all non-account holding inquiries older than 30 days. 

Failure to provide a satisfactory response with the deletion of the mentioned utilization and inquiries will result in legal action against your company, for which I will seek {$1000.00} per violation : Defamation of Character Civil Liability Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C 1681 violations for willful noncompliance - 616.
