To Whom it May Concern, I am writing this letter voluntarily and of my own free will. I've discovered that my credit reports include errors, and the FCRA statute requires that they be checked by real people rather than computer programs. Speaking with people I know will serve as verification, as secondary credit reporting organizations ' information is frequently wrong. As the source of this material, I demand that it be deleted right away.
