Consumer Narrative
[ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX XXXX, Apt XXXX ] [ XXXX Texas XXXX ] [ XX/XX/year> ] Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Subject : Request for Investigation and Account Deletion Under the FCRA Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you regarding the account [ XXXX ] reported in my credit history. Following a dispute with [ XXXX ], this account has been removed from their report because the information was found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. Attached to this letter is the confirmation of deletion provided by the other credit bureau, further demonstrating that the data provided by the information furnisher does not meet the accuracy standards required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). During their investigation process, the other credit bureau reviewed the details of the debt and determined that the information could not be verified as accurate. As a result, they removed the account from their records. I expect the same level of diligence and adherence to the FCRA 's requirements in your investigation. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), you are required to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information contained in my report. Since this information has already been removed by another credit bureau, I request that you review this account and remove it from my report to reflect the same level of accuracy. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I demand that you conduct a reasonable and thorough investigation of this dispute. The removal of this account by another credit bureau strongly suggests that this information can not be verified. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), the information furnisher is obligated to correct or remove inaccurate data across all credit bureaus with which they operate. I request that you contact the information furnisher to confirm that this information should be removed from your files. Finally, please note that failure to comply with your obligations under the FCRA may result in civil liability under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o. I look forward to a prompt resolution of this matter and request confirmation of your receipt of this dispute, as well as the removal of this account, within the 30-day timeframe required by law. Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
