I would like to further alert you to the following Legalities and Scenarios as it relates to your Inaccurate and borderline illegal attempts to attribute unverified debts to my persona to date. 

( a ) I have already disputed said debts, some of which are DUPLICATES through the Three ( 3 ) Credit Bureaus namely, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX as of : ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and you have continued to report these Medical debts which are not mine without providing validation documents as is required by law.

( c ) I have received correspondence from your company on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX respectively ( For the same Debt Amount ) of {$870.00}, stating that you have validated said debts without providing me with any evidentiary documentation for such a claim. 
( d ) I have also been advised that reporting Inaccurate Medical Data or Debts could very well exclude affected Individuals from seeking appropriate medical insurance and or employment and thusly have listed the timeframe which could be attributed to the loss of potential revenue, employment and affordable health care based upon your companys inaccurate listings. 
( e ) I have been further advised that since you have apparently attempted to validate the above listed debts and included information that you are not allowed to have under HIPPA. You may have knowingly violated my privacy rights. 

So, in this regard, if the aforementioned items are not Deleted or Verified in the manner requested from these reports I will have no choice but to file a complaint with the U.S. Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights ( ORC ) and other state and federal authorities. If you immediately delete these accounts from reporting, I will consider this/these matter ( s ) closed.

F.S. 95.11. The limitations period begins from the date the last element of the cause of action occurred, ( 95.051 ). Almost all other actions fall under the 4-year catch-all limitations period, ( F.S. 95.11 ( 3 ) ( p ) ) .Please do the math and verify the dates of first reported delinquency for each of the Debts that you are attempting to attribute to Me.
