Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute multiple inaccurate, false, and undocumented entries currently reported in my credit file. I am deeply angered and disappointed by the willful non-compliance and reckless disregard for the accuracy of my credit information. The repeated inclusion of unverified, incomplete, and factually unsupported data reflects a clear violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681, and the mandatory Metro 2 reporting standard.

You are legally obligated to maintain strict procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information you report ( FCRA 1681e ( b ) ). Reporting unverifiable data, failing to maintain data integrity, and continuously allowing the reporting of accounts that lack full, verifiable documentation constitutes willful non-compliance. I demand that you provide complete physical evidence, including : Full account contracts bearing my original signature or authenticated digital consent Complete account history and payment records Documents establishing permissible purpose for all inquiries Full Metro 2 data compliance audit trail for each reporting item Failure to provide these records will confirm your inability to validate these accounts, resulting in their immediate deletion, as required under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) and Metro 2 guidelines.

I remind you that repeated reporting of unverifiable, outdated, or false data may also constitute a willful violation under FCRA 1681n, subjecting your agency to statutory damages, punitive damages, and attorney 's fees.
