This information should not come as a form letter response. 
My initial dispute was detailed and directly related to the account in question. A template response will not be an acceptable response. If you can not supply ALL of the above information in a timely manner as detailed in several laws, including but not limited to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I must immediately demand the permanent removal of this item from my credit report. 
This erroneous entry is detrimental to my overall credit rating and has caused me severe financial and emotional distress. If you choose not to provide the above requested deletion or requested/required documentation of your investigation, I will pursue the enforcements of my constitutional rights via federal court proceedings. As you are well aware this information will come out through my formal discovery process, and necessary depositions. I have recently studied constitutional consumer protection laws along with civil/federal court procedures.
