Dear [Debt Collector's Name],
I am writing to formally notify you of a violation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), specifically * U.S.C. § *. On March [specific date], litigation was filed against me. By September 20th, I had filed a complaint with the credit reporting agency regarding the account not being updated to reflect its status as in litigation. The complaint was verified and updated; however, the account status was not changed to properly reflect that it was in litigation.
Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are mandated to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. The failure to update my account status to reflect its litigation status is a clear violation of this federal law. This has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has resulted indamages, including but not limited to, emotional distress and financial loss.
As a remedy, I demand the following:
*. Immediate correction of the account status to reflect the litigation.
*. Compensation for any damages incurred as a result of this violation.
*. Written confirmation of the corrective measures taken.
Please take this matter seriously. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 30 days from the date of this letter, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
