Addressee : 10 Provide copies of all correspondence ; supply copies of all conclusive documentation to prove that you have in fact conducted a reasonable investigation of the account in question. Provide the date of the commencement of delinquency. Provide the SPECIFIC date reporting that these items will cease. Please refer to consumer law 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 - Block of information resulting from identity theft 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 CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards. Addressee : 14 Also as stated in the CRRG 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. This is important to remember because it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. With that said! I found some mistakes and inaccuracies in your report, and I am like to invoking my rights to dispute/challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. If you continue to report claims that are not perfect, it shows that you do not care about my rights as a consumer. I don't think it's fair for you to report on me in a way that isn't confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. The following claims about me were not reported correctly and do not meet federal requirements.

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
