RE: DEMAND FOR IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF BANKRUPTCY REPORTING – VIOLATION OF FCRA
To Whom It May Concern,
This letter serves as a formal demand for the immediate deletion of the bankruptcy entry currently listed on my credit report. This entry is inaccurate, unverifiable, and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), specifically 15 U.S.C. § 1681i(a), which requires consumer reporting agencies to verify disputed information or delete it.
As upheld in Henson v. CSC Credit Services, 29 F.3d 280 (7th Cir. 1994), and Koropoulos v. Credit Bureau, Inc., 734 F.2d 37 (D.C. Cir. 1984), the burden of proof lies with the credit bureau to ensure information reported is accurate and verifiable. Simply relying on third-party public records vendors like PACER does not meet the FCRA’s standard of reasonable investigation, particularly when the court itself does not report to the credit bureaus.
I demand that you immediately:
1. Reinvestigate the bankruptcy entry listed;
2. Provide documented proof of how this bankruptcy was verified; and
3. Permanently delete the bankruptcy from my credit report if verification cannot be produced directly from the source.
If you cannot fully verify the accuracy of this information, you are required by law to delete it. Continuing to report unverifiable information is a direct violation of federal law and will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter through a formal complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), State Attorney General’s Office, and pursue all legal remedies available to me under federal and state consumer protection statutes.
The bankruptcy and related accounts in dispute are as follows:

I expect confirmation of the investigation and resolution within 30 days, as required by law.
Govern yourselves accordingly.
Sincerely,
