Complaint:
GOODMORNing XXXX, This is new and relevant information I'm disputing. The following accounts US Dept of EdXXXX XXXX and US Dept of EdXXXX XXXX was sent to C as of XX/XX/XXXX. Since then the account has repeatedly been updated as a New Collection every month. This is an update in the payment history which to my understanding Collection accounts should NOT include an active payment history. Need I remind you this also falsely manipulates the statute of limitations. 

The following months was Marked " C '' every month XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, AND XXXX XXXX. 

The Payment history is missing the following years of positive payment history affecting my credit rating and drastically harming my credit score. Missing Payment XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I'm miss XXXX positive monthly payment experiences. XXXX entries in each tradeline. 

Continues to Report a balance and a past due amount. These accounts have been sold/transferred paid in full in XXXX. The account status should be " Pays as agreed '' and the payment History is incomplete and reporting information Derogatory when it should be in a positive standing. Please remove all Negative remarks in the payment history and then update everything to a positive standing. 

I would like to excursie my right to " OPT-OUT '' ALL CREDIT REPORTING. By law a person must have written permission from the consumer to furnish private information. 

Update all accounts or Remove the entire Tradeline.
