I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

The specific concerns I would like to bring to your attention include the collection agency has not provided validation information under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) but yet they placed a collection on my consumer report. I have not been given a chance to dispute the account according to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). The collection agency is violating my consumer rights by using misleading, misrepresentation and deceptive means. The collection agency has no authority to furnish any account to consumer reporting agencies without providing any and all disclosures required by law and they are in clear violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S 2 ( 7 ) ( A )
