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 XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (PA)

I have had this vehicle loan with M & T Bank since XXXX. The first problem I faced was they never sent me any of my loan information ( payment amount, due dates, or how to pay ). Once I managed to get the information, it wouldn't let me log onto the website to pay. So, I called them, and they gave me the run around. I was finally able to login in XXXX to make the first payment, but it wouldn't allow me to set up automatic payments. Paying online is the only way I am able to pay as they did not send me paper slips ( I don't even know my account number, I never get a monthly statement in the mail even though I did not request paperless ), there are no branches around, and their customer service number won't allow me to make payments either. Every single month, I can never get logged in. The website is always down. Just today I tried logging in and was met with " they are working on fixing the problem ''. Now I am " locked out '' of my account because of an incorrect password when my password has not changed since I opened this stupid account. I have no way to access my account or make payments. I refuse to be held responsible for any late payments ( my payments for all my bills are on time ). I don't want to deal with this horrible bank anymore, but because of the age of the vehicle I can not refinance with another financial institution.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: DISCOVER BANK (OH)

I did a balance transfer from another card a year ago to Discover Card at 0 % interest for a year. I have been paying on it for a year plus have had other charges on the account. I have paid more than the minimum amount so that my transfer balance would go down. This month I paid the usual {$170.00} I paid each month plus {$400.00} to cover the {$390.00} left on the transfer. Payment was not applied to the balance transfer. Instead they tell me they only apply the minimum payment to the balance transfer and the rest goes to the regular amount owed. Now I have to pay interest on this balance transfer amount for the year which defeats the purpose of the transfer.
