So often community members have asked for a letter example to accomplish some purpose. This then is a sample format I have written myself or obtained from others on my Forum. Feel free to copy, paste, and alter to fit your needs.
You have the right to challenge all incomplete, erroneous, or misleading entries in your file. The credit bureau must re-investigate each entry. If the entry cannot be verified, it must be deleted. Include a copy of your report with circled items and list them in your letter. Be aware that sometimes items are simply deleted if the credit bureau feels the re-verification is not worth the effort.
