Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. 

Please DELETE the accounts, or inaccurate information, from my file immediately XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
RE : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/year>, I disputed the above address that I have never lived at with Experian Credit Bureau XXXX 

They are reporting that it is my current address. I don't live at this address. I currently live in XXXX XXXX. 

I disputed the reporting of an incorrect address on my credit report. I do not recognize, nor have never lived at this location. 

I asked them to remove the erroneous information, and Experian said they did a complete dispute in less than an hour and will not remove the address. 

They are asking for proof that I never lived there. I have no idea how to gather information of an address I don't recognize or have any idea why it is appearing on my report. 

Experian wants me to contact the original creditor. I have no idea who is reporting he address in question Experian refuses to reopen the matter to investigate further. 

I feel this is a case of mistaking identity and ask Experian to remove the address in question from my credit file.
