Consumer Narrative
Formal notice that you have failed to respond in a timely manner to my dispute letter of XXXX, deposited by registered mail with the U.S. Postal Service on that date. Federal law requires you to respond within thirty ( 30 ) days, yet you have failed to respond. Failure to comply with these federal regulations by credit reporting agencies are investigated by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) ( see 15 USC 41, et seq. ). I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance. I further remind you that, as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. Nov. 14, 1995 ), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file litigation.
