Complaint narrative:
The company has failed to properly investigate the items below and I asked for specific guidelines during the investigation. It is past 30 days and I would like the accounts removed. 


XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ( equifax ) The name and last known address of the debtor as it appeared in the creditor 's records prior to assignment. 

The names of all individuals or entities, if any, to whom this debt has been assigned. 

Additionally, please provide a copy of the contract or any document evidencing my agreement to the debt. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I request that you update my credit report to reflect accurate information. Please ensure that any contracts or agreements provided correctly spell my name and address and include authentic signatures, whether digital or handwritten. 

I have been disputing this debt for the past two years, during which my credit has suffered significant damage. Despite my efforts, neither XXXX nor Equifax has received adequate proof f confirming that these debts are valid and attributable to me. If you can not validate and verify I expect immediate removal from my credit file. 

Furthermore, I have observed that certain accounts, previously removed, have resurfaced on my credit report as of XX/XX/XXXX. For instance : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account : XXXX Status : Deleted XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account : XXXX Status : Deleted Additionally, a XXXX  XXXX account, allegedly opened in XXXX, remains on my credit report without any balance or pertinent information. I am unfamiliar with this account and request its removal. 

I am prepared to seek monetary damages as permitted under the FCRA if these issues are not promptly addressed. I believe that the continued reporting of these unverifiable debts constitutes a violation of my consumer rights. 

Please consider this a final formal dispute and a request for validation. 

there are many laws under the FCRA that protect me.
