Misreported & Damaging : These accounts are actively : Inflating my reported debt, harming my credit-to-debt ratio Contributing no positive payment history, rendering their presence unjustifiable Failing to improve my score, which violates the credit reporting purpose of full-file reporting If the reporting organization can not prove a net benefit to my credit profile or justify the inclusion of these accounts under accuracy and fairness standards of the FCRA, then continued reporting serves no permissible purpose and is considered prejudicial and inaccurate. 

Unverifiable Debt : Despite prior disputes, neither the furnisher nor your bureau has produced : Signed original loan agreements Payment history or disbursement verification Documentation validating deferment or accuracy of the data Under FCRA 611 and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, any account that can not be fully substantiated must be deleted immediately. 

Materially Misreported : These loans report inflated balances and deferment statuses that : Harm my credit-to-debt ratio Do not contribute any positive payment history Provide no verifiable benefit to my credit score % WARNING : CREDIT SCORE RETALIATION PROHIBITED My current credit score is XXXX, and it has been earned through years of prudent financial behavior. There is no legal basis to allow my score to fall due to this dispute process. Any derogatory shift in my credit score or profile during or after this dispute especially if related to these unverifiable student loans will be considered willful noncompliance and retaliation under FCRA 616.

-Score Manipulation Notice My current credit score is XXXX, and under no circumstances should it fall as a result of this dispute. Any adverse effect on my credit score or file will be viewed as retaliation and a willful violation of the FCRA, triggering statutory and actual damages under FCRA 616 and 617. 

* Prior Investigation No Response Received As a side note, I previously initiated a dispute regarding these same accounts over 30 days ago, and to date, I have received no written response or verification documentation from the reporting student loan servicer. This is a direct violation of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which mandates resolution and notice within 30 days. This delay and inaction further confirm the lack of verifiability of these accounts.
