I have received written notification and documentation that the United States bankruptcy court has agreed to discharge these items from my credit report. Additionally, I have received written notification that it was unlawful for these items to be reported, and I was rewarded damages for financial institutions ' failure to comply.Despite this notification, I have found that these items are still being reported on my credit report, which is damaging my creditworthiness and causing harm to my character.

Therefore, I request the following information to support your Metro 2 compliance for consumer and commercial credit reporting : A copy of your written policies and procedures for Metro 2 compliance in consumer and commercial credit reporting. Information on how your company obtains and verifies the accuracy of consumer and commercial credit information, and how it ensures that information is reported in accordance with Metro 2 guidelines.

Information on the systems and technology used by your company to report consumer and commercial credit information in Metro 2 format.

I also request information showing a contract you signed to become a data furnisher, including the data furnisher agreement. Additionally, I would like to know how you were able to convert to Metro 2 format and become Metro 2 compliant. I dispute the information being reported by your company and request that it be removed from my consumer report immediately. am well aware of my rights as a consumer. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that you, the credit-reporting agency report accurate and/or correct account information within my credit file. My credit issues are very specific, these accounts and/or items do not belong to me. This means that you are reporting incorrect account information within my credit report. It is this in mind that I request that these listed accounts and items be Blocked and Deleted. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA, Section 1681c ( 2 ) Block of information resulting from identity-theft. 1.Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity-theft, not later than four ( 4 ) business days after the date receipt by such agency of 1.
