It is my legal right to insist that any flawed information, whether directly or indirectly related to potentially injurious data, be corrected or removed immediately. I do not authorize the reporting of any misinformation now or ever, and I request that the credit bureaus review and ensure full compliance with the laws governing the reporting of consumer credit profiles.
