According to the FCRA, negative information should not be reported for more than 7 years ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). The Supreme Court case of XXXX XXXX Trans Union XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX.

These entries should be removed from my credit report. ( See attached highlighted report ). 

2. **US Dept of Education Account XXXX XXXX : - Similarly, this account includes negative entries older than 7 years, specifically before XX/XX/XXXX. These entries should also be removed from my credit report under the same provisions. ( See attached highlighted report ).

XXXX*Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) ** : - **15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq. ** : This act aims to eliminate abusive debt collection practices and ensure that those debt collectors who refrain from using abusive debt collection practices are not competitively disadvantaged.
