Complaint narrative:
Subject : Demand for Deletion of Unverified and Fraudulent Accounts and Request for Accounting and Validation Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally demand the immediate deletion of the following unverified and fraudulent items from my credit report. I previously requested that these accounts be validated, and to date, they have not been properly verified. These fraudulent accounts are causing significant damage to my credit standing and severe emotional distress. 

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a dispute to TransUnion requesting the method of validation for these accounts. This dispute was sent to : The dispute was sent via certified mail with tracking number XXXX and was received by your office on XX/XX/year>, at XXXXXXXX XXXX. Despite providing all necessary documentation, I received a response stating that the letter was not from me. This is a clear evasion of your responsibility to validate the disputed items. 

In light of this, I request that the following fraudulent accounts be deleted from my credit report within 30 days, failing which I will be forced to pursue legal action, which is well within my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Additionally, I am submitting this letter as a formal request pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) Section 9-210 for an Accounting and Statement of Account. This request specifically pertains to the accounts in question. 

Request for Accounting and Statement of Account under UCC 9-210 In accordance with UCC 9-210 ( a ) ( 2 ) and ( 4 ), I request the following : An Accounting of the unpaid obligations secured by the collateral involved in the aforementioned transactions. Please provide an authenticated record detailing all unpaid obligations to date. 

A Statement of Account indicating the aggregate amount of unpaid obligations secured by the collateral. Please provide a detailed explanation of any discrepancies between your records and the statement I have provided.

Pursuant to UCC 9-210 ( b ), you are required to comply with this request within 14 days of receipt. Please ensure that your response includes all relevant information pertaining to the unpaid obligations, the list of collateral, and any necessary corrections to the statement of account.

If there is no interest claimed on the obligations or the collateral at this time, as outlined in UCC 9-210 ( d ) and ( e ), please provide an authenticated record disclaiming any interest, along with the name and mailing address of any assignee or successor to your interest. 

Request for Method of Validation under the FCRA In addition to the above, I demand answers to the following questions regarding your investigation of the disputed accounts : What information did your representatives uncover to justify reporting this item as it legally should be reported? 
What certified documents were reviewed to conclude your investigation? 
Please provide a complete copy of all the information that was transmitted to the data furnisher as part of the investigation.

Provide the date of the commencement of delinquency.

Provide the specific date when reporting of these items will cease.

Enclosed with your response to these questions, I respectfully request a notarized affidavit confirming that the information provided is true and correct. This affidavit should not be a form letter response.

My initial dispute was detailed and directly related to the account in question. A template response is not acceptable. If you can not supply all of the requested information in a timely manner, including but not limited to the FCRA, I must demand the immediate and permanent removal of these items from my credit report.

This erroneous entry is detrimental to my overall credit rating and has caused me severe financial and emotional distress. If you choose not to provide the requested deletion or documentation, I will pursue the enforcement of my rights via court proceedings. I am prepared to represent myself pro se and will formally request a jury trial.

Please respond accordingly within the stipulated time frame.

Sincerely,
