I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure the maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, or email in a fraudulent account. I demand to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with ( wet ink NOT PRINTED signature on it ) that you have on file for the account listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed immediately and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the account listed below.
