RE : AFFIDAVIT OF FACT AND TRUTH - FRAUDULENT COLLECTION ACCOUNT FROM XXXX XXXX XXXX 
This affidavit serves as my second formal request to your agency regarding the fraudulent collection account reported on my credit report. Despite my initial affidavit outlining the serious nature of the matter and the legal violations involved, your agency has failed to conduct a proper investigation or take corrective action. This refusal to comply with my initial request is deeply concerning and constitutes a blatant disregard for the law. 
XXXX. 

I am writing to formally address the concerning disregard of my initial affidavit by your agency. Despite the clear and pressing nature of the matter outlined therein, your refusal to conduct a thorough investigation constitutes a flagrant breach of the law. Such neglect not only undermines the principles of fairness and justice but also exposes your agency to significant legal repercussions.

Let it be unequivocally clear that we shall vigorously enforce the provisions of the law in this instance and fully intend to do so. Your failure to comply with the FCRA 's mandates is not only a violation of my rights but also indicative of a serious dereliction of duty on your part. We expect immediate rectification of this 5. 

1 of 3 egregious oversight and prompt action to address the grave implications of your agency 's non-compliance. 
I assert that this reporting is nothing short of fraudulent, as I have enclosed a copy of the identity theft report filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) that attests to the fraudulent nature of this account. In light of the gravity of this situation, I kindly request your immediate attention and action to rectify this matter.

FCRA VIOLATIONS AND SECTIONS : Specifically, I am invoking my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which explicitly mandates that credit reporting agencies must physically verify the original signed consumer contract for any and all accounts posted on a credit report.

Failure to provide such verification compromises the integrity of the credit reporting system and may result in the unjust detriment of consumers.
