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 XXXX, their failure to validate these accounts may also violate 15 U.S.C. 1692g, which requires validation of debt upon dispute.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the handling of my prior disputes regarding Experian. Once again experian has failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in providing the method of validation within the required timeframe specifically for XXXX  XXXX XXXX account and XXXX XXXX account. 

As per the FCRA, once I request method of validation, the credit reporting agency must provide the requested information within 30 days. Despite my multiple requests for the method of validation for these accounts, Experian has not provided this information within the legally mandated period for either of the disputes. This failure represents a direct violation of federal law under the FCRA. 
I have included documentation of my requests an the lack of response for your reference.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX AND XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported in to be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. XXXX AND XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
