Please be advised this is my FINAL WARNING that I fully intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to enforce my rights and seek relief and recover all monetary damages that i may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 regarding your continued willful and negligent noncompliance.

To Whom it May Concern : Recently i did an investigation on my credit report which caused severe XXXX upon me and found unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that your agency didnt make sure was reporting 100 % correct. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

I know that Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In generalIf, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. This debt does not belong to me, and I am afraid of possible theft or fraud. if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof within 15 days after your investigation, you must remove the accounts and or the information listed below. Thanks for your help with this matter. 

Despite NUMEROUS written request, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. in the results of your investigation and subsequent reinvestigation, you stated in writing that you " verified '' that these items are being " reported correctly ''? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY ORIGINAL documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under SECTION 609 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & SECTION 611 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under SECTION 611 ( A ) ( 7 ). PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT UNDER SECTION SECTION 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of FCRA- you are required to " PROMPTLY DELETE ALL INFORMATION WHICH CAN NOT BE VERIFIED. '' The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( SECTION 616 & 617 ) If you fail to comply with Federal law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.
