Account Deletion Confirmation Letter — Verify Removed or Corrected Accounts on Your Credit Report
Confirm Every Correction and Protect Your Middle Credit Score®.
When a credit bureau or creditor deletes or updates a negative item from your credit report, it’s important to get written confirmation to ensure the change is permanent.
The Account Deletion Confirmation Letter helps you formally request proof that an account or entry has been fully removed from your file—preventing it from being reinserted in the future.
At Middle Credit Score®, we make credit repair transparent and consumer-driven.
This free template, along with over 30 others, is available in our Credit Dispute Letters Support Center, giving you every tool needed to maintain accuracy and integrity in your credit report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
🔍 When to Use an Account Deletion Confirmation Letter
Use this letter when:
- You recently received notice that a credit bureau deleted a disputed item.
- A creditor or collection agency confirmed they would remove a negative account.
- You want to verify that the deletion has been processed across all three bureaus.
