Complaint narrative:
RE : Requesting a Method of Verification Letter Dear Sir/Maam : I recently received a response to a dispute ( see attached ) that I made under FCRA 611 ( a ) regarding an erroneous item on my credit report involving a transaction with. It saddened me to learn that you somehow verified the disputed item, electing to leave it on my report. 
I am absolutely certain that the item I disputed is incorrect and should be removed, so I am hereby exercising my rights under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) to request a complete description of all methods used to investigate my aforementioned dispute. 
I am very interested to learn how your investigator ( s ) arrived at this erroneous conclusion. I would like to see a complete list of all documents and correspondence with. Please include all names and contact information of employees that you spoke to at as part of this investigation. 
All previous letters and documents that I sent to you previously are once again attached along with this correspondence in order to help you process this request. 
I am asking for this verification because my credit score is important to me, and I believe it is being unjustly degraded as a result of this unfortunate error. Therefore, I request that you please do not send me a template letter in response to this request. I am in the process of planning a legal case, so I need specific answers to the specific questions asked of you in this letter. 

I expect to receive a response within 15 days of receipt of this letter, or I will expect to see the item in question permanently expunged from my record. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I very much look forward to getting this resolved as soon as possible. 

I've disputed these items several time over and continue to get ignored or passed along. This is becoming very frustrating that the Credit bureaus are just sending me verified general letters with no real investigation, and it is having a tremendous impact on my life I'm trying to resolve this matter with out taking any legal action but if this not resolved I'm left no other choice but pursue that route to get this rectified asap possible. I've repeatedly said this items are incorrect and shown the proof that they are but they some how come back verified and there is no way they are if my most recent credit report says verified and and updated and the still have the same inaccurate information in my file. Please tell me how the following items are accurate XXXX XXXX : Date of last activity is wrong XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX is wrong XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is wrong XXXX : XXXX is wrong the laws for Reinvestigation are as follows 15 usc 1681c section ( 5 ) TREATMENT OF INACCURATE OR UNVERIFIABLE INFORMATION ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ( a ) REINVESTIGATIONS OF DISPUTED INFORMATION ( 1 ) REINVESTIGATION REQUIRED ( A ) In general Subject to subsection ( f ) and except as provided in subsection ( g ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, the agency shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller.
