Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit 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 relates. 

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. 
Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According 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 and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

I will not accept your attempt to dismiss my identity theft claim as an error or a misrepresentation of material fact. I have previously submitted all necessary documents. Who granted you the authority to determine what constitutes a material fact? You are not a judge, a jury, or in any position to make such judgments. You have absolutely no right. 

The Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) clearly states that when you receive an FTC identity theft report filed with a law enforcement agency, your obligation is to comply with the law. 


XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

This is your final opportunity to handle my identity theft request properly, or I will pursue legal action in a courtroom where you will be held accountable for the damage caused to my reputation, credit, and emotional well-being due to this matter. Your negligence regarding material facts will be glaringly evident, and you will be required to compensate me for your recklessness.
