[ Your Name ] [ Your Address ] [ City, XXXX, ZIP Code ] [ Date ] [ Credit Reporting Agency Name ] [ Agency Address ] [ City, State, ZIP Code ] Subject : Follow-Up Dispute of Collection Account Request for Method of Verification To Whom It May Concern, I am following up on my previous dispute regarding the collection account listed on my credit report under the account # [ Account Number ]. In my initial dispute, I requested the removal of this account due to the collection agency 's failure to provide debt validation.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ) ( 6 ), I am entitled to know the method used to verify the accuracy of this collection account. Specifically, I am requesting : XXXX. The method used to verify the accuracy of this collection account. 
XXXX. The name and contact information of the person or entity that provided the verification. 
XXXX. Copies of any documents or records used in the reinvestigation process. 

As the collection agency did not provide validation, the continued presence of this account on my credit report is both inaccurate and non-compliant with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 809 ( a ).

Please provide the requested information and update my credit report accordingly. If the information can not be verified, this collection account must be removed from my credit file as required by FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a response within the 30-day period allowed by law. 
Sincerely, [ Your Signature ] [ Your Printed Name ]
