Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

I am writing to formally dispute many items on my credit report that I believe were reported in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1692j, which prohibits " furnishing certain deceptive forms ''. I'd like to bring your attention to the case # 21-2632 Chaitoff v. Experian Info. Sol., where the court held that credit reporting agencies must avoid reporting information in a manner that creates a materially misleading impression. Given the precedent set by this case, I kindly request the removal of these accounts from my credit report or its update to reflect a neutral or positive status. Doing so would ensure that my credit report is a fair and accurate representation of my credit history. Below are the referenced accounts that need to be updated to reflect positive and or removed from my credit report. Specifically, the following items on my report are disputed acct listed in document. Per 16 CFR 433.3 Exemption of sellers taking or receiving open end consumer credit contracts before November 1, 1977 from requirements of 433.2 ( a ).

( a ) Any seller who has taken or received an open end consumer credit contract before November 1, 1977, shall be exempt from the requirements of 16 CFR part 433 with respect to such contract provided the contract does not cut off consumers ' claims and defenses.

( 4 ) Contract which does not cut off consumers ' claims and defenses : A consumer credit contract which does not constitute or contain a negotiable instrument, or contain any waiver, limitation, term, or condition which has the effect of limiting a consumer 's right to assert against any holder of the contract all legally sufficient claims and defenses which the consumer could assert against the seller of goods or services purchased pursuant to the contract.

( b ) Same form as initial notice permitted. You may provide the opt out notice together with or on the same written or electronic form as the initial notice you provide in accordance with 313.4.

( c ) Initial notice required when opt out notice delivered subsequent to initial notice. If you provide the opt out notice later than required for the initial notice in accordance with 313.4, you must also include a copy of the initial notice with the opt out notice in writing or, if the consumer agrees, electronically.

( d ) Joint relationships.

( 1 ) If two or more consumers jointly obtain a financial product or service from you, you may provide a single opt out notice, unless one or more of those consumers requests a separate opt out notice.

( i ) Model privacy form. Pursuant to 313.2 ( a ) of this part, a model privacy form that meets the notice content requirements of this section is included in appendix A of this part.
