Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: These accounts are incorrectly being reported and I demand that they be removed from my credit report or updated to reflect a balance of { {$0.00} }. I have reached out to the creditors regarding the validity of these debts, but they have not provided any proof of the charge off. While I am looking over my credit report, I have noticed that these accounts are not being reported accurately, and I believe that they are inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. The accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX It is worth noting that other bureaus have already removed these accounts from their records after I disputed them. There was an error present, and they were able to find it. I am confused by the fact that you have verified these accounts while the other bureaus have already removed them from their records. I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( XXXX ).

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my extreme frustration and anger regarding the negative payment status on my credit report for an account that is being incorrectly reported as a late payment account with a balance due. I have reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the validity of the debt, but they failed to provide any proof of the alleged late payment. Therefore, I demand that you provide proof that this account was 30 days late and update the balance to { {$0.00} } or delete the negative payment status on this account immediately. The account in question is : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Open Date : XX/XX/2019 Balance : {$190.00}.
