However, they stated everything was complete and accurate. How is that possible if the open date, date of the last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) they are supposed to modify accounts that arent reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions 15 U.S.C 1681c. ( a ) ( 5 ) Section States : no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information. Any other item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes, antedates the report by more than seven years.

15 U.S.C 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Also, they arent even in compliance with metro 2 credit reporting. I have evidence to prove my case
