The method used to verify the accuracy of this collection account. 2. The name and contact information of the person or entity that provided the verification. 3. Copies of any documents or records used in the reinvestigation process.

Please provide the requested information and update my credit report accordingly. If the information can not be verified, this collection account must be removed from my credit file as required by FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ). Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
