XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Formal Dispute Under FCRA & FACTA Request for Deletion Dear XXXX, I am writing to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report under my rights outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681. The following accounts are inaccurate, unverifiable, and must be deleted immediately : XXXX  ( {$1100.00} ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( {$520.00} ) Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required to conduct a reasonable investigation. I demand that you provide the method of verification used to confirm these accounts.

If you can not verify the accounts within 30 days as required by law, I demand their permanent deletion under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ). Failure to comply will result in legal action, including a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and potential civil claims. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the continued reporting of a closed account on my credit report. According to IRS regulations and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), a creditor that issues a Form 1099-C for cancellation of debt is acknowledging that the debt has been XXXX and no longer collectible. 

The account in question is : Creditor Name : Discover Bank Account Number : XXXX XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XXXX XXXX, 2025 Amount : {$1400.00} Under IRS Code Section 6050P , once a Form 1099-C is issued, the debt is considered canceled, meaning the creditor has forfeited any further collection activity, including reporting the debt negatively on my credit report. Therefore, this account should be immediately removed from my credit file.

Failure to properly investigate and remove this information from my credit report is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, and I am prepared to take legal action if necessary. If you do not comply, I will seek statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} per violation, in addition to punitive damages, attorney fees, and court costs. 

Please conduct an investigation into this matter and provide me with written confirmation of the deletion. If you continue to report this invalid debt, I will have no choice but to pursue all legal remedies available to me. 

I expect your response within 30 days of receiving this letter, as required by the FCRA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Formal Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Auto Loan Balance and Late Payment Reporting for Auto Loan To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute again an inaccurate balance and late payment being reported on a past auto loan account.
