Re: Letter to Delete Inaccurate Credit Information
To whom it may concern:
I received a copy of my credit report and found the following item(s) to be
errors. See attached copy of credit report, errors have been high-lighted. Here
I have explained which items are in error:
By the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1996, I demand that
these items be reinvestigated and deleted from my report.
Please promptly delete inaccurate information from my file. Also, in
compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1996, please notify me when the
items have been deleted.
Please send an updated copy of my credit report to the below address.
According to the act, there should be no charge for this updated report.
I would like to confirm our telephone conversation on (date) at (time) with
(name of person spoken to at company) as to the settlement of above stated
account.
As discussed, I will pay your company the amount of $ as payment in full for
the settlement of this account. Upon receipt of the above payment, your company
has agreed to change the entry on my credit file to "never late, always on
time" In addition, any negative credit information concerning my account,
such as "past due" or "charge off" should be deleted from my
report.
If you agree to these stated terms and conditions, please acknowledge with
your signature and return a copy to me.
Upon receipt of this signed acknowledgment, I will immediately mail you funds
in the amount stated above.
Please note that in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1996 you

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1996, I have the right to enter
a "consumer statement" to my credit report.
I have disputed the accuracy of the items high-lighted on the attached credit
report. Since reinvestigation has not resolved my dispute, I want the following
statement included in my credit report.
This will explain fairly and clearly the nature of the dispute. I will assume
that 30 days represents a reasonable time for performing this update.
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1996, please send me a free
updated copy of my credit report with the above statement included.
Please include in my credit report the additional information attached.
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1996, I am permitted to add
relevant credit history to my credit report. This will more fairly reflect my
consumer and payment history. Therefore, I request that you add the enclosed
payment history to my credit files.
Thank you for your attention.
Please inform me within 30 days that the additional credit information has
been included by sending my updated credit report to my address below.
