Subject : Disputing Information in Credit Report.

I am writing to dispute the following information in my file. 

At this time of writing my credit scores reads XXXX ; however looking through my profile it was brought to my attention that XXXX of my debts are not being reported to the credit bureau. 

The aforementioned debt is for a car purchased XXXX from a used car dealership in XXXX, Florida named I GOT CARS. I was approved for the purchase and subsequently made the {$8000.00} deposit I was told the loan was being issued by a company called XXXX XXXX at a 24.04 % interest rate. 

The real issue is that there are no car payment history being reported on my credit portfolio which has proven to be difficult in my quest to get a new car at a better interest rate. 

I have made several contacts with the dealership ( I GOT CARS ) but have not gotten any favourable responses as to why my loan was not being reported to the bureau after making on time payments for upwards XXXX year to date. I have even gone on to explain how unethical these practices appears to be on the basis I am paying back on time the loan at a ridiculously high interest rate. 
Enclosed are documentations supporting my request. 

Ammortization Schedule for car payments Payments made to lender retail purchase agreement partial exemption for motor vehicle sold to resident in another state application for certificate of title Please Investigate this matter and make the necessary adjustments as you see fit as soon as possible. 

Regards, XXXX XXXX The contact information as listed for the aforementioned dealership is : XXXX FLORIDA. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX TX XXXX. TELEPHONE XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, Lendingpoint withdrew {$170.00} for a loan payment, which was fine. However, on XX/XX/year>, they withdrew another {$170.00} without my knowledge or permission. That caused a {$30.00} fee for insufficient funds in the account. They have agreed to repay the second withdrawal, although that hasn't been done yet.

Complaint narrative:
Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified items listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these items? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA. Since you claim youve verified the items listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ITEMS?

I believe you have not verified these items based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.
