XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Formal Demand for Reinvestigation of Disputed Transactions Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) ) To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of certain transactions reported on my consumer credit file. I demand an immediate reinvestigation of the disputed items listed below, as mandated by15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This letter serves as both notice of dispute and a request for reinvestigation in compliance with federal law.

You must review all relevant information I have provided and contact the furnisher of the disputed information to verify its accuracy.

Additionally,15 USC 1681e ( b ) imposes an obligation on Equifax to ensure that all information contained in a consumer report is reported withmaximum possible accuracy. Continuing to report inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information constitutes a breach of this duty. 

If the disputed items can not be verified, they must be corrected or deleted from my consumer report in accordance with15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ). Failure to do so would be a direct violation of the FCRA, subjecting Equifax to statutory and actual damages.

XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) : This decision emphasized that credit reporting agencies are liable for failing to ensure accuracy and for noncompliance with their reinvestigation obligations. 

These rulings underscore Equifaxs legal responsibility to comply fully with the FCRA during the reinvestigation process.

Demands I hereby demand the following actions be taken immediately : Reinvestigation : Conduct a comprehensive reinvestigation of the disputed items, including direct verification with the furnisher of the information.

Correction or Deletion : If the disputed items are found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable, they must be corrected or removed from my report, per15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ). 
Documentation : Provide me with a detailed summary of your findings, including the names and contact information of all parties contacted during the reinvestigation process. 
Notification to Third Parties : Notify any third parties who have accessed my consumer report in the past six months ( or two years for employment purposes ) of any corrections made, as required by15 USC 1681i ( d ).

Consequences of Noncompliance If you fail to comply with your statutory obligations, I will pursue all available remedies under the FCRA, including : Filing a formal complaint with theConsumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and theFederal Trade Commission ( FTC ).

Initiating legal action under15 USC 1681nand15 USC 1681o, seeking statutory damages, actual damages, attorneys fees, and court costs.
