The documents provide instructions for disputing items on your credit report with the major credit bureaus. It outlines sending dispute letters via certified mail with copies of identification and limiting disputes to no more than 22 items at a time. The letters templates challenge the bureaus to verify disputed accounts through original signed contracts.

The steps outlined are to send dispute letters to each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) using the provided templates. Identification should be included and disputes limited to no more than 22 items. Records of all correspondence should be kept.

Dispute letters should include your personal information, a list of the specific accounts being disputed, a request for the bureaus to verify the accounts through original signed contracts, and a warning that legal action may be pursued if the items are not removed.

DISPUTE LETTER INSTRUCTIONS

Each letter is to be duplicated three (3) times addressed separately to each of the three main
credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion).

It is highly recommended that you send these letters via "Certified Return Receipt".

Each letter has a place for a notary to notarize your letter. This is not essential but can be
helpful. Most local banks offer free notary services to their customers. Do not sign the letter until
you are in the presence of the notary public.

Include a copy of two forms of ID when sending dispute letters. Proper forms of ID are listed
below:

● Driver's License
● State ID Card
● Bank or Credit Union Statement (not electronic)
● Cancelled Check
● Government Issued ID
● Signed Letter from Homeless Shelter
● Stamped Post Office Box Receipt
● Utility Bills (Water, Gas, Electric, or Telephone)
● Pay Stub

It is ​EXTREMELY IMPORTANT​ to send the correct forms of ID. If they are not sent, the bureaus
will ignore your requests or reply with a request for you to send the correct information. Either of
these will increase the time needed to get you back on the right road to the best possible credit
for your situation.

DO NOT​ dispute more than ​22​ derogatory items at one time, otherwise the credit bureaus might
mark your disputes as frivolous.

In the dispute templates, replace the bold ​red content​ with your personal information.

Keep good records. Date and record everything you send and everything you receive.

Do not give up or get scared in the process. Regardless of what the credit bureau sends you, if
the derogatory item is not removed from your report, proceed with the next letter.

Go through ​ALL​ of the training videos so that you fully understand the process and how to
improve your credit score.

To whom it may concern:

Please accept this letter as my formal written request for the following items on my credit report
to be investigated.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, ​15 U.S.C. §1681 Section 609 (a)(1)(A)​, ​you are
required by federal law to verify ​- ​through the physical verification of the original signed
consumer contract - ​any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying
for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof (​an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it​)
you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has
hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if
you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed
below.

I demand the following accounts be verified or removed immediately:

Name of Account Account Number Provide Verification

Creditor 1 Unverified Account

Creditor 2 Unverified Account

Creditor 3 Unverified Account

Creditor 4 Unverified Account

Creditor 5 Unverified Account

Creditor 6 Unverified Account

To whom it may concern:

Please be advised that this is my​ SECOND WRITTEN REQUEST ​for you to remove the
unverified accounts listed below that remain on my credit report in violation of 15 U.S.C. §1681.
The unverified items listed below remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are
required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify
that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation, you stated in
writing that you ​“verified” ​that these items are​ ​being​ “reported correctly”.

Who in your company verified these accounts? How did they verify them? Please provide
me with the name of the individual, business address and telephone number of the
person or business contacted during your reinvestigation.​ Also, why did you not send me
copies of the verification like I asked?

As I am sure you are well aware, current case law states that Consumer Reporting Agencies
bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their
responsibility must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from
other sources. The courts have ordered that a “Reinvestigation” that merely shifts the burden
back to the consumer and the credit grantor cannot fulfill the obligations proposed by §
1681(a)(4).
You have ​NOT ​provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under ​Section 609
(a)(1)(A) & Section 611 (a)(1)(A) ​( a consumer contract with my signature on it )​ ​and under
Section 611 (5)(A​) of the FCRA – you are required to ​“…promptly DELETE all information
which cannot be verified.”
The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for ​“​negligent
noncompliance” (​Section 617​) if you fail to comply. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on
pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.
I demand the following accounts be verified or deleted immediately.
Name of Account Account Number Provide Verification

Creditor 1 Unverified Account

Creditor 2 Unverified Account

Creditor 3 Unverified Account

Creditor 4 Unverified Account

Creditor 5 Unverified Account

* Please remove all non-account holding inquiries over 30 days old.
