2. IMPROPER USE OF CREDIT REPORTS AND INACCURATE REPORTING I have contacted you on several occasions regarding issues and incorrect information within my credit report. I do not recognize the items listed below. You have rejected my request to remove the information altogether on my credit report. You keep verifying info through a computer-based system ( e-OSCAR system or one in comparative ) and not thoroughly investigating.

( a ) ( 2 ) 15 USC 1681i. ( 5 ) ( A ) ( I ) This rule revises Regulation F, 12 CFR part 1006, which implements the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Bureau 's final rule addresses, among other things, communications in connection with debt collection and prohibitions on harassment or abuse, false or misleading representations, and unfair practices in debt collection. The FCRA prohibits information furnishers from providing information to a CRA that they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. However, the furnisher is not subject to this general prohibition if it clearly and conspicuously specifies an address to which consumers may write to notify the furnisher that certain information is inaccurate. Sections 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( a ) ( 1 ) ( C ).
