I've recently checked my credit profile and discovered inaccuracies in several accounts. I'm asking for my credit report to be brought into Metro-2 compliance. I know the credit reporting laws require bureaus to report only 100 % true, accurate, complete, timely, and proven credit information. I'm requesting the removal of any challenged or disputed misinformation, including any aspects of unproven reported subterfuge.

I don't authorize the bureau to report not proven compliant information and demand the removal of any non-compliant information by full and permanent deletion or adequate testimony to the document certification of their obedience to Metro 2 data reporting regulations. Failure to do so will lead to my determined and rightful civil actions to seek monetary resolution through a court in my jurisdiction. I'm asking the bureau to authenticate and avow corporeally to the absolute genuineness, accuracy, allness, accordance, and adherence to all federally composed legislative documents related to the now officially challenged allegations of account.

RE : Inaccuracies report to credit file & Violations of my Consumers Rights. 

I am contacting you because I recently pulled my credit report, and I found some information that is inaccurately being reported. Below are accounts that are displaying as being charged-off, if these accounts were indeed charged-off, then why didnt I not receive a copy of a 1099C from the creditors. They received a tax write-off, and I should not have this debt reported on my credit profile. Therefore, send me any forms or any documentation showing that you have the right to report this as a debt. If you can not provide this information, please remove the mentioned accounts from my credit report immediately. According to the IRS, cancelled debt ( charge-off ) is gross or ordinary income. Therefore, these charge-offs are considered as income and income should not be reported on my consumers report.
