Subject: Massachusetts Sample Letter for Correcting Erroneous Information on Credit Report Dear [Credit Bureau/Reporting Agency], I am writing to dispute the accuracy of the information contained in my credit report issued by your agency. After a thorough review, I have discovered several erroneous entries that greatly impact my creditworthiness. I am a resident of Massachusetts and would like to bring this matter to your attention as it violates the rules and regulations outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). I have identified the following discrepancies in my credit report: 1. Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting: According to your report, I have multiple instances of late payments on my [name of creditor] account. However, these late payments are incorrect and never occurred. I have diligently paid all my bills on time, as evidenced by my payment records. I kindly request you to rectify this error and remove these inaccurate entries from my record. 2. Identity Theft Incident: Your report reflects an account opened under my name with [name of creditor] that I have no knowledge of. It appears to be a result of identity theft, which not only jeopardizes my financial stability but also raises concerns about fraudulent activities. I urge you to investigate this matter promptly, remove the account from my report, and provide me with any relevant information so that I can take appropriate legal actions. 3. Outdated Collection Account: The credit report lists a collection account from [name of collection agency] with the amount of $[amount]. However, this account is significantly outdated and should have been removed from my credit report after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. I request you to remove this account, as it is no longer legally valid or accurate. I kindly ask you to swiftly initiate an investigation into these issues and provide a written response within 30 days, as mandated by the FCRA. Please inform me of the appropriate steps you will take to rectify the errors on my credit report. Also, I request that you provide me with a free, updated copy of my corrected credit report once the necessary adjustments have been made. As a Massachusetts resident, I would like to highlight the specific regulations that apply to credit reporting agencies operating within the state. Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 93, Section 60, establishes requirements for the accurate and fair reporting of credit information. Failure to adhere to these legal provisions may result in penalties and legal consequences. Please understand that I am fully aware of my rights as a consumer and will exercise them to rectify this matter if necessary. Your cooperation in resolving these discrepancies promptly is greatly appreciated. Enclosed with this letter, please find copies of supporting documentation, such as payment receipts, identification proof, and any other relevant evidence substantiating my claims.
