Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I have received the dispute results that your company has sent me, however, they have failed to make ANY corrections whatsoever NOTHING WAS CORRECTED XXXX, ZILCH, XXXX. So, Im just so freaking frustrated and ticked off and hurt right now. Because while I understand that it may not necessarily be your fault, the fact of the matter is that this agency is still reporting and selling inaccurate information about me even though there are credit reporting laws which are supposed to ensure they report only accurate credit information. Your agency has blatantly ignored my dispute and have responded to me with these accounts being updated or remaining. Nonetheless, I have found XXXX updates and have contacted creditors who have confessed to having no record of a dispute about me from your agency. This makes me absolutely sick to my stomach as Im sure it would the same for you if you were in my shoes! Regardless of what, Im writing to let you know that Ive been advised by legal counsel that Im entitled to recover money damages because of this. 

Every last one of these accounts are reporting information which varies from bureau to bureau so that in and of itself proves that these accounts are reporting inaccurately AND ALSO for some of them - I'm not even sure what they are so by the provisions of 15 USC, section 168li of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I demand a re-investigation and deletion of these accounts and if you or your agency refuses to do so, I demand the names and addresses of the Resident Agent or Corporate Officers of this agency who are going to accept the responsibility of your actions in this matter. Unless immediately notified otherwise, Im going to assume that 30 days constitutes more than enough Reasonable Time for the re-investigation and correction of my credit report ( specifically these accounts listed below ). 

Here are the accounts in error : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Delete this erroneous account IMMEDIATELY! 

Also, pursuant to 15 USC, section 168li ( d ), please notify me in writing when these accounts have been removed or corrected. 

Thank you so very much for your help and support.
