Securitization Details : If the debt has been securitized, provide all relevant details confirming the current holder and any involved trusts. 

Account Deletion : If proper documentation can not be provided, the account must be deleted from my credit report immediately. 

Failure to comply with these legal obligations within the required timeframe will result in formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potential legal action for damages under 15 U.S.C. 1681n & 1681o.
