Complaint:
I am formally challenging you to review your data on file for me! I insist that you comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 611 ( 15 U S C 1681I ) and Metro 2 compliance standards in order to ensure the accuracy of the information reported about me. I also request that you remove any and all false accounts from our records immediately! Only factually accurate, verified, and compliant data should be documented and included on my credit report from now on. 
I am writing you because there are some negative items in my credit profile, but I have not confirmed or accepted that these are accurate. I dispute these claims and demand that any negative information be removed from the reports immediately.The claims that this information in my report is negative, untrue, incorrect, incomplete, untimely, and not verifiable are unsubstantiated. I have yet to be provided physical verifiable proof that the claims of negativity within my report are true.After reviewing my report I noticed several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I refute your allegations and challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information about me. Document that you have complied with the reporting requirements, and report without any deviations. If you have not complied with the requirements or there are any negative aspects below that have been challenged, you must remove them from my report.Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relatesAlso per 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : A - Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. B - Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputesAccording to XXXX, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards. Also as stated in the XXXX Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate. This is important to remember because it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.With that said! I found some mistakes and inaccuracies in your report and I would like to invoke my rights to dispute/challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. If you continue to report claims that are not perfect, it shows that you do not care about my rights as a consumer.I don't think it's fair for you to report on me in a way that isn't confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting.The following claims about me were not reported correctly and do not meet federal requirements. I am challenging these claims and asking for proof that the proper reporting standards On time payments are missing on my profile for this account update the missing payment to paid in full. its important to insure payment history accuracy please Update missing payments to Paid in full immediately
