I am requesting the method of verification you used to prove that these transactions on my investigative consumer report are indeed mine and who you interviewed and spoke to about them. Notice, it is a fact, that I am aware, in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 7 ) I, the consumer has the right to know the description of the method used to verify the information furnished on my consumer report within 15 days of the request.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), the Contractor is required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract for any and all accounts you post on a credit report. I have yet to receive any proof from the person that is reporting on my consumer report.

I am fully aware that negligence and noncompliance are a violation of 15 usc 1681n Civil liability for willful noncompliance. Each violation under this section could be up to {$1000.00} and I have no problem exercising my rights as a Federally protected consumer under title 15 Chapter 41 and pursuing litigation. I am well aware of 15 usc 1681s ( Section 623 ) that Data furnishers are indeed required to notify the consumer of any negative reporting that will be furnished but I can assure you that has not happened at all. These Data furnishers need to prove to me that they have followed procedures of federal law and need to delete these accounts from my consumer report.

Notice of Warning For Any Delay In Processing by Credit Bureaus I am aware of your attempts to delay the processing of many consumers ' disputes and challenges based on your belief that some consumers are working with a third-party such as a credit repair company. Your delay is illegal, as it is the right of all consumers to work with such a company if they so choose, and you have no legal basis for delaying the processing of those letters. However, let me make it clear that my letters using were created using applicable software and regulations available to ALL consumers, and that this is your notice that any delay in the processing of my letters is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i, which sets forth the procedure in which a Consumer Reporting Agency must investigate a consumer 's reasonable dispute, and lists out the exceptions, and will be considered willful disregard of my rights as a consumer and will be forwarded to my attorney for litigation purposes. There is no such exception that would legally allow you to delay the processing of a consumer 's letters to you based on an unfounded assumption that assistance from a third party may exist. 



Please be advised that any and all letters you receive bearing my name have either been prepared by me or by my advisors on my behalf with my full knowledge and consent. Also be advised that I am aware that no statute in the FCRA suggests that a Power of Attorney must be provided to you, or that without said Power of Attorney documentation you are allowed to delay the processing of a consumer 's letters to you. 





Thanks in advance XXXX XXXX
