Balance : {$0.00} Status : Closed I am challenging the accuracy, validity, and legal reporting of this collection account. The following issues are being disputed and must be manually reviewed : 1. The collection account contains incomplete and/or inaccurate information, including but not limited to : dates of first delinquency, balance history, and payment status.

2. I have not received any written validation from the collection agency as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, and therefore the debt remains unverified and disputed.

3. Under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I am exercising my right to a full reinvestigation. This request may not be reduced to a generic dispute code or processed solely through the e-OSCAR system, as the nature of this dispute requires document review and human investigation.

I am formally requesting that : The credit bureau conduct a manual reinvestigation, not limited to automated systems ; The data furnisher ( collection agency ) provide verifiable documentation, including : A copy of the original signed agreement The chain of title ( proof of legal transfer of the debt ) Complete account and payment history If the collection agency can not provide this documentation, the account must be immediately deleted from my credit report under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

Failure to conduct a proper reinvestigation or to remove unverifiable information will result in formal complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and legal counsel as necessary.

Please respond in writing within the 30 days required by law, and provide a full summary of the reinvestigation and the results. I also request a copy of my updated credit report upon completion. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
