I have written my letter as follows:

Subject: Certified Verification

To whom it may concern:

I am writing to make a request for "Certified Verification" for each item currently on my credit report. Blacks Law Dictionary defines Verification as: “Confirmation of correctness, truth, or authenticity, by affidavit, oath, or deposition.”

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please forward any Certified Verification to me, or remove any item that you are reporting that you do not have “Certified Verification” for.

Please note the details below that you will need to retrieve the information on this account:

xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxx

What do you think? Is this better or not as good as just asking for it. I am trying to turn the heat up right out of the gate.

Is that a bad idea? will it send up a "this guy is a flake" flag?

Thanks for any input, which won't be taken as legal advice.
