XXXX XXXX Please send your written response to my address of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX I am aware that you have been sending out form letters in response to many of the disputes and challenges that consumers have submitted, regardless of the specific information that they have provided. This is illegal, as each dispute and challenge must be addressed individually and on its own merits.My letters were created using software that is available to everyone. If you don't process my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. Keep in mind, you are not allowed to delay processing letters from consumers based on the assumption that help from a third party may be available. This is not a legal exception.I am the author of any letters you receive with my name on them. Either I or my advisors wrote them with my full knowledge and consent. I am aware that there is no law that says you need to provide a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing letters from a consumer.If you do not process my letters in a timely manner, I will consider it to be an intentional disregard of my rights as a consumer. I will then contact my lawyer to take legal action.
