I personally prepared and submitted the dispute along with valid identification and supporting documentation. I am not seeking a generic response or a form letter I am requesting a full, good-faith reinvestigation as required by federal law.

If the credit reporting agency fails to comply, I am prepared to pursue complaints with the CFPB, Federal Trade Commission, and State Attorney General, and to consider legal action under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o for statutory and actual damages. 

I respectfully request the CFPBs assistance in ensuring that my rights under the FCRA are enforced.
