Please be advised this is my SECOND WRITTEN REQUEST. The unverified items listed below 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 first investigation, 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 required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the 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 for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if you fail to comply. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA I demand the following accounts be verified or deleted immediately.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  RE : Request for Investigation of Unauthorized Inquiry To Whom It May Concern, I checked my personal credit report, which I acquired from your organization and I noticed that this unauthorized inquiry had been made : 1. XXXX Date of inquiry : XX/XX/2021 2. XXXX Date of inquiry : XX/XX/2021 I contacted those who placed the inquiry and asked them to remove their credit inquiry from my credit profile. I also asked them to cease their illegal activities immediately, but to date, there have been no responses from their office. Since sending the letter more than 30 business days ago, they have failed to respond and honor my request.

Therefore, I must request your help in resolving this matter. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I request you immediately initiate an investigation into this inquiry on my credit report to determine who authorized the inquiry. If, once your investigation is complete, you find my allegation to be true, please remove the unauthorized inquiry from my credit report and send me an updated copy of my credit report at the address listed above. If you do find the inquiry referenced above to be valid, I request that you please send me a full description of the procedures used in your investigation within 15 business days of the completion of the investigation. 

Thank You, XXXX XXXX
