Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX TransUnion LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Dear Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ), This letter was written by my Consumer Protection Attorneys on my behalf and with my full consent. 

I am writing to file a dispute regarding certain inconsistencies in the reporting of collection accounts on my credit report. Based on my understanding of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Metro 2 format outlined in the Resource Guide, specifically Section 25, I believe there have been significant violations of federal reporting laws and industry reporting standards. These transgressions relate to the willful non-compliance in accurately recording the Date of First Delinquency ( DOFD ) on collection accounts.

These errors amount to what is commonly referred to as " re-aging, '' where a debt collector knowingly or recklessly fails to provide the correct DOFD to the CRAs. Under the provisions laid down in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), such behavior constitutes a violation. Meeting the required " knew or should have known '' standard should not present difficulties since the industry actively promotes education and strives towards bringing its members into compliance.

According to the FCRA, consumers retain the right to dispute inaccurate information contained in their credit files, requiring CRAs to investigate and rectify mistakes expeditiously. Should the collector continue to submit falsified information, even following the conclusion of a reinvestigationsuch as repeatedly declaring the date of initial contact as the DOFD or submitting improperly updated information leading to tradeline re-agingthey risk liability under both the FDCPA and FCRA. 
Specific instances where my credit report reveals evidence of such malpractice involve the following collection accounts : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ).
