Complaint narrative:
This is my FOURTH time reaching out to yall about these unverified accounts that are still on my TransUnion credit report. Im talking about accounts that shouldnt even be there, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681. This is unacceptable, and we need to get it DELETED out ASAP. 

Now, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), you are required by federal law to provide me with a detailed description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information on my report. This includes the business name, address, and telephone number of any furnisher of information you contacted. And youve got 15 days to get this information to me thats the law! 

Last time, yall told me in writing that you " verified '' these items. Alright, but who exactly in your company did this verification? How did they verify it? I need the name, business address, and telephone number of the person or business you contacted during your reinvestigation. Plus, I need to see the documentation you used to verify this dispute. Show me the evidence! And let me be clear : I expect to see my original contract with my signature on it. 

As of now, you have NOT provided me with any hard copy documentation showing that these accounts have been properly verified. Under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ) of the FCRA, you are required to promptly DELETE all information that can not be verified. The law is crystal clear on this point.

If you fail to comply, the Civil liability and remedies for " negligent noncompliance '' under Section 617 will be enforced. I am fully prepared to pursue litigation to protect my rights under the FCRA. 

I demand that the following accounts be deleted immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
