Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the results of my initial dispute and request for the removal of charge-off accounts from my credit report. Despite my previous efforts and the passage of a reasonable amount of time, these accounts remain on my credit report, negatively impacting my creditworthiness and financial well-being. As a result, I am filing a formal complaint and requesting that the credit reporting agency takes further action to rectify this matter. 

I initially disputed these accounts, providing comprehensive documentation that supports my claim that these accounts were inaccurately reported. Despite my efforts and the legal requirement for accurate and fair credit reporting, these accounts have not been corrected or removed from my credit report. 

I would like to highlight that the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days of receiving a dispute. It is now well beyond this timeframe, and the presence of these charge-off accounts continues to damage my credit standing. Furthermore, I have received no communication from your agency regarding the results of the investigation or any actions taken to resolve the matter. 

In light of the situation, I kindly request that you take the following actions : Conduct a thorough and timely investigation into the accuracy of these charge-off accounts, adhering to the guidelines set forth by the FCRA. 

Provide a detailed response outlining the results of your investigation, including any actions taken to correct the inaccuracies and the expected timeline for resolution. 

Remove the disputed charge-off accounts from my credit report promptly, as required by law, if they are found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. 

Send me a written report of the results of your investigation, a copy of my updated credit report showing the removal of these accounts, and a written explanation for any accounts that were not corrected or removed. 

I understand that accurate credit reporting is crucial for maintaining my financial stability and obtaining essential services. I expect that you will take my complaint seriously and resolve this matter promptly to ensure fair and accurate reporting of my credit information. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this complaint within 30 days of your receipt of this letter. Failure to do so may compel me to take further action, including seeking legal remedies to address this issue. I am asking for your assistance to remove these charge off accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$740.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2700.00} ; XXXX  XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$520.00}.

Complaint narrative:
Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report.

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

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.

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 and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. 

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.
