Complaint narrative:
Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 1 ) and 1681i, I request that you provide a complete copy of the original signed consumer contract with a wetink signaturea Verifiable, Validated Proofthat you claim to possess for the above-referenced accounts. Copies of copies are insufficient by law. 

Under FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are legally obligated to verify any accounts before reporting it on my credit file. If you are unable to provide such proof within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter, you must immediately delete the accounts from all credit reports.

FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) requires furnishers to promptly remove unverifiable information. Under 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ), negligent noncompliance exposes entities to actual damages, attorneys fees, and costs ; willful noncompliance under 1681n exposes entities to statutory/punitive damages ( {>= $1,000,000} + punitive ).

Case law strongly supports my position : - Negligent/willful failures to remove unverifiable or inaccurate information have resulted in XXXX dollar awards ( e.g., XXXX XXXX Equifax $ XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
- CFPB enforcement actions support similar resultsmost recently, a $ XXXX settlement following procedural failures.

XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Date : XX/XX/scrub> XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Re : Dispute of Account Reference No. XXXX / Original Account Ending in XXXX Original Creditor : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the validity and continued reporting of the above-referenced account that appears on my credit report. I am requesting that this debt be deleted immediately from my credit file with all credit reporting agencies.

Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am asserting my rights as a consumer to : 1. Dispute the accuracy and completeness of this account, which I do not acknowledge, recognize, or have agreed to be liable for.

2. Request full validation of the debt, including : o A signed contract or agreement bearing my signature with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ; o Full chain of custody documentation showing how XXXX XXXX XXXX came into legal ownership of this debt ; o Proof that XXXX XXXX XXXX is licensed and authorized to collect debts in the state of XXXX  ; o A full payment history, including the breakdown of the current balance of {$5300.00}. 
Simply sending general billing statements or generic documents is not sufficient proof of ownership or liability under the FDCPA. Until such documentation is provided, this debt remains unvalidated and should not be reported on my credit file. 
If you can not fully validate the debt, you are required to cease collection activities and remove this account from all consumer credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  ). 
Please also be advised that continued reporting of inaccurate or unverified information to the credit bureaus constitutes a violation of the FCRA and may result in legal action. This letter serves as my formal notice of dispute. 
I request written confirmation of the outcome of your reinvestigation and removal of this account from all consumer reporting agencies. This dispute should also be forwarded to the credit bureaus per 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 8 ).

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.
