I hereby demand the immediate deletion of these accounts from my credit report. 

Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1681s2, furnishers of information are obligated to provide accurate information to consumer reporting agencies. It has come to my attention that the information being reported is inaccurate, and I have stated this fact in multiple written documents. This inaccurate reporting is a clear violation of my rights under FCRA.
