I want to stress that I did not provide written permission or instructions for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. I formally request the blocking and deletion of these accounts, and I emphasize that this request is not in error and is not based on any material misrepresentation of facts concerning the request for blocking these transactions. 

Your company seems to be in violation of the law, as outlined in 15 U.S.C 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ), stating that a consumer report should not include : " ( A ) subject to section 1681s-3 of this title, any -- - ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report!

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

Additionally, I demand that you provide all documents on which you are relying for reporting accounts ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) mentioned earlier. This request aligns with your obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), granting consumers access to these records. The information you are reporting is damaging my reputation and adversely affecting my creditworthiness.

Therefore, I request and demand that you remove these accounts from my file within 30 days, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), or verify these accounts.

Apart from the removal of erroneous and unverified information, kindly remove all non-account holding inquiries over 30 days old.

An affidavit of the truth of a matter stated, and the purpose of verification is to ensure the good faith of a party 's averments or statements. '' Failure to respond satisfactorily with the deletion of the above utilization & inquiries will result in legal actions being taken against your company, and I will seek {$1000.00} per violation for : Defamation of Character Civil Liability Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C 1681 violations for willful noncompliance - 616.
