Complaint narrative:
As a federally protected consumer I'm seeking proof of the alleged debt, under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. In a good faith effort to resolve this matter amicably, I demand proof of the debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature in wet ink, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must terminate this collection action and correct any erroneous reports of this debt as mine. For the record, I state again that as I have no account with you, nor am I your customer, nor have I entered into a contract with you, I must ask for the following information : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Please provide proof of the alleged debt, including specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my wet signature. 

You have 7 days of this notice to respond. Your failure to respond, on point, in writing, hand signed, and in a timely manner, will work as a waiver to any and all of your claims in this matter, and will entitle me to presume that you sent your letter in error, and that this matter is permanently closed. Your continued silence is unacceptable. Either provide the proof or correct the record to remove the invalid debt from my credit files with the three primary credit-reporting agencies.

Complaint narrative:
I trust this correspondence finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a troubling discrepancy within my credit report concerning late payments associated with my accounts. Upon meticulous review of my report, I have identified instances where late payments have been inaccurately recorded, adversely affecting my credit standing. Upon contacting the companies linked to these accounts, they acknowledged a fault on their part. They have committed to rectifying the error by updating and amending my accounts to accurately reflect my payment history. They attributed these inaccuracies to a system glitch that led to the erroneous reporting of late payments. It is perplexing to me that while other credit bureaus have already rectified the status of these accounts, your bureau continues to report these late payments. This disparity in reporting raises doubts regarding the verification protocols employed by your bureau to ensure the precision of reported information.
