P.O. XXXX XXXX XXXX, DE XXXX Subject : Dispute of Account and Demand for XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX, This letter is a formal dispute of the alleged credit card debt associated with Flexible Spending Credit Card account and associated with social security number ending with XXXX, which currently appears on my consumer credit report. The account information is claimed to be extremely inaccurate and include over XXXX unverifiable remarks and or comments.

XXXX requests that this matter be resolved through arbitration, if specified in your agreement and beneficial to you. 

Further, in accordance with the aforementioned arbitration agreement and the rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I demands that all collection activities cease, including reporting this alleged debt to any consumer reporting agency, until this dispute is resolved through arbitration. If this debt has already been reported, I requests prompt notification to the credit reporting agencies of this dispute and to instruct them to delete the tradeline from the credit report. Reporting information known to be inaccurate or unverifiable violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the FCRA.
