Complaint narrative:
I am deeply disappointed by the presence of inaccurate and undocumented information on my credit report. Claims lacking proof of validity, such as delinquency allegations, are unsubstantiated and challenge their reportability. It is imperative, in compliance with federal and state laws, to accurately and completely report allegations without violating regulations. I urge you to ensure factual and correct reporting, as required by the Metro 2 reporting standard. Please provide verifiable physical evidence to support the account 's existence and permissible usage. If unable to do so, I insist on its removal from the report. I grant authorization for you to send physical documentation of your actions and an updated credit report.

I hereby express my profound disappointment and concern regarding the infringement upon my rights. I have meticulously outlined the various issues pertaining to your reporting in the accompanying document. Regrettably, it appears that the aforementioned document is both inadequate and fails to meet the standards that I deem acceptable. I would like to remind you that in accordance with the law, it is imperative that you duly certify all aspects of the required FCRA/Metro 2 compliance, ensuring that such certification is executed truthfully, correctly ( in a timely fashion ), and comprehensively and accurately. Failure to adhere to these obligations may necessitate my escalation of these matters to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my respective Attorney General.
