Despite my previous 2 written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You stated in your responses to my 2 dispute letters that you have verified that the items listed below are accurate but you failed to send me copies of the documents that you used to. Your failure to delete the disputed accounts that you can not verify after two written requests is prima facie evidence that no records exist, nor has any such verification occurred. I also asked you to give me the name of the person in your company who verified the accuracy of these accounts but you ignored this request as well which is another violation of Federal Law and evidence of your willful disregard of the law. Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. I request that you do this immediately. The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. I demand that you delete all of the accounts listed below immediately. Please provide me with a copy of an updated and corrected credit report showing that these items have been deleted.
