THIS IS XXXX! I AM SUBMITTING THIS ON MY OWN BEHALF. I HAVE NO OTHER AUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY! I also let them know I am using this complaint, and everyone they reply back to with that stall tactic response, as response, as evidence in my lawsuit against them. 

To whom it may concern, This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information.

I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in reporting factual data on my report. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to ensure all information reported is completely accurate and correct. After reviewing my credit reports I have found that the accounts below are being inaccurately reported. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account.

I demand to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with my signature on it ) that you have on file for the account listed below.

Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the account listed below.

List items here I respectfully request to be provided proof of this alleged item, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature.

Failing that, the item must be deleted from the report as soon as possible. This information is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and as such represents a very serious error in your reporting. Please delete this misleading information and supply a corrected credit profile to all creditors who have received a copy within the last six months, or the last two years for employment purposes.

Additionally, please provide the name, address, and telephone number of each credit grantor or other subscriber.

In addition, please remove all non-account holding inquiries over 30 days old. Also, please add a promotional suppression to my credit file.

Under federal law, you have thirty ( 30 ) days to complete your re-investigation. Be advised that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is hereby requested as well, to be provided within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the completion of your re-investigation. Also be advised that failing to comply within 30 days as spelled out by federal Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) will result in me filing a complaint with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and/or further legal action.
