What to do if I don't hear back from CRA after dispute?

I disputed online but when I try to check the status of the dispute online, an error message comes up indicating no investigation is in process.  When I try to  initiate a new dispute online for the item, it says an investigation is currently in process.  This is frustrating as it's been well over a month.  I've been warned by others not to call CRA's.  What should I do?  Thanks

See the post by HappyDays on this thread for a form of follow up letter.  You will need to tailor it to your particular situation.  Thanks, HappyDays!

Certified Mail # xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx, return receipt requested

 

CRA Address

 

Dear CRA:

 

This letter, sent via Certified Mail # xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx, return receipt requested, serves as formal notice of your failure to investigate a dispute.  I sent you a dispute on 8/xx/2005 via Certified Mail # xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx which was signed for by you on 8/xx/2005.  In that letter, I formally disputed inaccurate information listed on my consumer file.  For your review, I have attached a copy of the original letter.

 

As you are well aware, federal law requires you to respond within 30 days, yet you have failed to investigate my dispute.  Failure to comply with these federal regulations by credit reporting agencies are investigated by the Federal Trade Commission (see 15 USC 41, et seq.).  I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you on this matter, for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC and the Attorney General of Texas should you continue in your non-compliance.  I further remind you that, as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 (C.D.Cal. Nov. 14, 1995), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. 

 

This is a serious error in reporting.  Do not delay further. Be aware that I am making a final goodwill attempt to have you clear up this matter. You have 15 days to cure. I demand you immediately delete the following inaccurate entries from my file:

 

Entry #1, account number xxxxxxx

Entry #2, account number xxxxxxx

Entry #3, account number xxxxxxx

Entry #4, account number xxxxxxx

Entry #5, account number xxxxxxx

Entry #6, account number xxxxxxx

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

You
