Re: Credit report of _____________
Address: __________________________
Former Address: ___________________________
SSN: 000-00-0000
Dear Sir or Madam:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that the following items are not being reported correctly and are damaging to my credit rating:
Item #____ [Name of account]
This account was paid in full on 00/00/00. Attached is a copy of the cancelled check proving payment was made. Please make a notation that this account has been paid in full.
Item #____ [Name of account]
This account was always paid on time. The notation that this account was 30 or more day's delinquent on two occasions is incorrect. I am requesting the delinquent notations be removed.
I have included a copy of my credit report with these two items circled in red. I am requesting these items be reinvestigated and reported correctly according to the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and that a corrected copy of my credit report be sent to me as soon as possible.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Your Name

Re: Unauthorized Access of My Credit Report
Dear Sir or Madam:
A recent review of my [name of credit bureau] credit report revealed the fact that your company pulled my credit report on [date of inquiry].
I did not authorize your company to obtain a copy of my credit report. It is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act for you to access my credit report without my permission. Therefore, I am requesting that you do two things: (1) Do not run a credit report on me in the future; and (2) Notify [name of credit bureau] that your inquiry was unauthorized and request it be deleted from my credit report.
Sincerely,
Your Name
