XXXX CREDIT XXXX XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT XXXX 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX CT NY XXXX has never reported this fake information to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and must be remove this is wrong! 
As already stated, the listed item is inaccurate and incomplete, and is a profoundly serious error in reporting. 
It is at this time that I will point out that in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Experian ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA could not merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they must conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the XXXX in question. Sending out a generic form through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. 
If you do not initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. As I am sure you are aware, each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter end up in court. 
In light of the recent changes to the FCRA ( XXXX ), consumers now have the right to go directly to the original creditor and ask for proof of negative information. In addition, court case opinion No. 00-15946 CV-99-00290-D.C. by the US Court of Appeals 9th Circuit , Nelson Vs. Chase Manhattan, the court ruled that the creditor has the responsibility to investigate and make sure that correct information is being reported to the bureaus, and that the consumer has a right to sue under the FCRA, should his or her rights be violated. 
While I prefer not to litigate, I will use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under the FCRA.
