Dear Sir/Madam:

I am writing to dispute the validity of the above referenced item pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires you to verify the validity of the item within 30 days. If the validity can not be verified, you are obligated by law to remove the item.


In the event that you can not verify the item pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and you continue to list the disputed item on my credit report I will find it necessary to sue you for actual damages and declaratory relief under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Because the Fair Credit Reporting Act provides concurrent jurisdiction in federal and state courts, I shall elect to use the to bring appropriate action against you.

While I prefer not to litigate, I will use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

I look forward to an uneventful resolution of this matter.

Sincerely,

< Your Signature >
< Your Printed Name>
< Your SSN >
