XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AL XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX Assistance XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Subject : Dispute of Inconsistent Data under Maximum Possible Accuracy Standards of the FCRA and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX This letter was written via my Attorney and me. 
I am writing to dispute inaccurate information contained in my credit report. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the XXXX XXXX Reporting Guidelines, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning individuals. I have identified inconsistent data in my credit report that fails to meet these standards and must be removed. 
The FCRA mandates that more than technical or literal accuracy is required ; it requires maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). The XXXX XXXX has clarified that the distinction between accuracy and maximum possible accuracy is not nearly as subtle as XXXX at first appear, it is in fact quite dramatic ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) ). Furthermore, the XXXX XXXX observed that [ t ] he words maximum and possible mean greatest in quantity or highest in degree attainable and falling or lying within the powers of an agent or activity ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) ). 
Thus, a consumer report is deemed inaccurate not only for blatant errors but also if it is potentially misleading. As the XXXX XXXX stated, a technical truth... can be as misleading as an outright untruth where it paints a misleading picture ( XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) ). The majority of federal XXXX XXXX XXXX that have considered this issue have adopted this maximum possible accuracy approach, concluding that a credit item can be incomplete or inaccurate under the FCRA either because it is patently incorrect or because it is misleading in such a way and to such an extent that it can be expected to adversely affect credit decisions ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) ). 
In addition to the FCRA, the XXXX XXXX Reporting Guidelines, developed by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), provide a standardized format for the accurate and complete reporting of credit information. These guidelines are crucial in ensuring consistency and precision in credit reporting. Inconsistent or incorrect application of these standards can lead to inaccurate or misleading credit reports. The XXXX XXXX guidelines are designed to promote uniformity and accuracy, and deviations from these guidelines can result in data that fails to meet the required standard of maximum possible accuracy. 
Numerous district and state courts have held that a consumer report can be inaccurate, even if the report is technically true in some narrow sense, but is overly general, incomplete, out of date, or misleading. The question of whether information is materially misleading is XXXX for the finder of fact. For courts following this standard, a plaintiff need not prove that any recipient was actually misled by the information, so long as it is misleading enough to be objectively likely to cause the intended user to take adverse action ( XXXX v. XXXX & XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) ). 
In light of these standards, I request that you Block/Remove the following items, which I believe are inconsistent and fail to meet the XXXX XXXX possible accuracy requirement as well as the XXXX XXXX XXXX Guidelines : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ).
