Complaint narrative:
This is my last and final letter to your non-compliant company before I file suit against all parties involved. FYI, it is a crime to threaten suit with no intention of actually filing suit, so be advisedI have every intention of following through with this to protect my rights as a consumer. 

I have sent your company many letters requesting that you investigate a list of inquiries that I believe are reporting incorrectly. Not responding to my requests is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and will not be tolerated. In case you would like to settle this matter between you and I, rather than me filing suit against your company, I will once again list the inquiries in question so that you may do as you are governed by the FCRA.

I tried to contact them using the phone numbers that are provided on my credit report. Half of the numbers are not even correct. The companies that I was able to get in touch with do not even have any record of me. How can they have a permissible business purpose to pull my credit, if they have NO record of me?

As I stated, I have already given your company quite enough time to investigate the items in question, but I am willing to give you one more chance. If I do not receive results of your investigation within 15 days of receipt of this letter, I will be forced to file suit against your company. I will also be contacting the XXXX XXXX XXXX and the Federal Trade Commission. 

Regards, XXXX XXXX
