Complaint narrative:
I am writing to follow up on the outcome of my recent disputes regarding inaccuracies on my credit reports. The consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) have indicated that the creditors have " validated '' the accounts in question. However, I am submitting this letter along with proof of Metro 2 compliance violations, which highlight inconsistencies and inaccuracies that demonstrate these accounts could not have been properly validated.

Accounts in Question are attached to this complaint Inconsistent Reporting Across CRAs : The reported accounts contain inconsistencies in key data fields, such as the balance amount, date of first delinquency, or payment history. This is a clear violation of Metro 2 compliance, which mandates uniformity in the reporting of credit data under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ).

Lack of Proper Validation : The FCRA obligates CRAs to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information. Given the attached evidence, it is evident that the investigation conducted was inadequate and failed to resolve discrepancies.

Failure to Correct or Delete Inaccurate Information : Pursuant to FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), if an item is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable, the CRA must correct or delete the information. The CRAs reliance solely on creditor validation without addressing the evident inconsistencies violates this provision.

Metro 2 Data Reporting Standards : The Metro 2 format requires that data be accurately and consistently reported across CRAs. Attached, I have provided documentation showing that the accounts in question are non-compliant with these standards, which further calls into question their validity.

Applicable Laws Supporting My Claims FCRA 1681e ( b ) : CRAs are required to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy in the consumers credit report. The inconsistencies and errors identified clearly violate this section.

FCRA 1681i ( a ) : When a consumer disputes information, the CRA must perform a reasonable reinvestigation. The lack of effort in resolving the discrepancies outlined herein suggests non-compliance with this requirement.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : If the creditors reporting these accounts are considered debt collectors, their failure to validate these accounts may also violate 15 U.S.C. 1692g, which requires validation of debt upon dispute.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on this account though your company claims to has verified this. 

Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.
