Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to address your ongoing violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to remove inaccurate, unverifiable, and invalidated information from my consumer file. This letter serves as my final settlement offer before pursuing legal action, with the intention of resolving this matter amicably. If the following listed items, which are inaccurate, unverifiable, and invalidated, are not promptly deleted, I will proceed with legal action in accordance with the FCRA to seek relief and recover the full amount of monetary damages entitled to me under Section 616 and Section 617. Please consider this letter as evidence in any future litigation and as part of a formal complaint to the Federal Trade Commission if compliance with this settlement offer is not met.

I have become aware of your direct violation of the FCRA, as the unverified items listed below still persist on my credit report. According to the FCRA, it is mandatory for you to possess the original creditors ' documentation on file to verify the accuracy of the reported information. However, you have not provided me with any original documentation, including a consumer contract with my signature, as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Additionally, you have failed to provide the method of verification as mandated by Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please note that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA, you are obligated to promptly delete any information that can not be verified. 

I am deeply disappointed to observe your agency 's disregard for the guidelines outlined by the FCRA, as evidenced by the numerous errors present on my credit report. Allow me to provide you with a brief summary of the Fair Credit Reporting Act : The Fair Credit Reporting Act is the primary federal law governing the collection, reporting, and sharing of credit information about consumers. It establishes rules for obtaining, retaining, and sharing credit information, including provisions that protect consumer rights. 

A FCRA violation can occur when creditors provide inaccurate financial information to reporting agencies, when reporting agencies mix up individuals ' information due to similarities in names or social security numbers, or when agencies fail to handle disputes properly according to guidelines. 

As a consumer, I am entitled to the following rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act : The right to verify the accuracy of my credit report when it is required for employment purposes. 
The right to receive notification if information in my file has been used against me in credit applications or other transactions. 
The right to dispute and have the credit bureaus correct and delete incomplete, inaccurate, and unverifiable information in my report. 
The right to have outdated negative information removed after seven years ( in most cases ) or ten years in the case of bankruptcy. 
I demand the immediate deletion of the following items, as they are either inaccurate, unverifiable, or invalidated. I have also specified the desired outcome for each item due to your violation. These items have caused significant distress as I recently applied for extended credit and was denied based on your mistakes : Account involved in litigation " an incorrect high balance, '' an inaccurate date of last activity, " REAGED ACCOUNTS, '' " Reinsertion WITHOUT PROPER NOTICE, '' an undated late pay, a charge-off listed as open, and a collection account with a limit.
