Complaint narrative:
I am writing regarding the results of the recent dispute I submitted concerning the accuracy and completeness of the information being reported on my credit file. I appreciate your investigation, but I disagree with the outcome, as the account ( s ) listed below were returned as " verified '' without providing me with the details of the investigation. 

Account ( s ) : XXXX XXXX In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ) ( 7 ), I am requesting the method of verification used to determine the accuracy of the disputed items. Please provide the following information for each disputed account : * The name, address, and contact information of the entity that provided the information you used to verify the account. 
* A description of the procedures used to verify the accuracy and completeness of the disputed account. 
* All documentation you have on file retrieved during your investigation. 
* Who did you interview regarding the aforementioned account? 

Additionally, I must note that the creditor failed to report the dispute to the consumer reporting agencies as required under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ). This failure to provide notice of the dispute is a violation of the FCRA, which further undermines the integrity of the reported information. 

I am requesting proof that an actual investigation was indeed conducted and all of the above-requested documentation be sent to me, by mail, within 5 business days! Given the lack of proper verification and the violation of FCRA obligations, I also request that this account be deleted immediately from my credit report to prevent any further damage to my financial well-being.

Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681n - Civil liability for willful noncompliance ( a ) In general Any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) ( A ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} ; or ( B ) in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of thefailure or {$1000.00}, whichever is greater ; ( 2 ) such amount of punitive damages as the court may allow ; and ( 3 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. 

I would appreciate a prompt response to this request. Should you fail to provide the requested information, correct the violation, or remove the account, I am prepared to take further action to protect my rights under the FCRA. 
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

Again, please be advised that I am exercising my rights under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ( iii ) which provides that a consumer may request a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available. 

Any automated response or e-Oscar verification is unacceptable. I am requesting a re-investigation along with your method of verification. The item in question is inaccurate and represents a very serious reporting error. I expect to receive a response within 15 days of receipt of this letter in compliance with the FCRA. If not, I expect this item will be removed from my credit files immediately. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this matter as soon as possible.
