I was also wondering if you were familiar with something called 15 U.S.C. Sec.

1681i ( a )? I heard that if you can't provide proof, then these accounts must be deleted. If you are not able to update as per requested I expect all the accounts deleted immediately.

It is also to my understanding that I am entitled to an updated credit report as well as anyone who has inquired to obtain my credit report in the last 6 months. Please send me a copy of the updated report to the address I have provided.

Also, send a copy of the updated report to all who inquired on my credit in the last 6 months.

Lastly, you have 30 days to complete this investigation, as per Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and I am keeping careful record of your actions, including your Method of Verification. I do not consent to XXXX or any means of automated verification. 
Thank You, Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
