Complaint narrative:
I recently obtained my credit report from XXXX and found several errors that need to be corrected. I am formally asking for a complete reinvestigation of the accounts and personal information listed below, as allowed under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ). This letter also serves as a dispute, a request for the method of verification, and a request for full file disclosure under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681g, and 1681i.

To be clear, this is a specific and valid dispute. I am not requesting generic responses or pre-written form letters. I personally prepared and submitted each of my disputes, including the necessary identification and documents to help process them correctly. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are required to perform a full and honest reinvestigation of the item in question, including all related information, codes, and data, not just the tradeline.
