Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you because there are some negative items in my credit profile, but I have not confirmed or accepted that these are accurate. I dispute these claims and demand that any negative information be removed from the reports immediately. The claims that this information in my report is negative, untrue, incorrect, incomplete, untimely, and not verifiable are unsubstantiated. I have yet to be provided physical verifiable proof that the claims of negativity within my report are true. After reviewing my report, there are several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I refute your allegations and challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information about me. Document that you have complied with the reporting requirements, and report without any deviations. If you have not complied with the requirements or there are any negative aspects below that have been challenged, you must remove them from my report. Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consume 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.

13 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. I am challenging these claims and asking for proof. 
You are refusing to investigate!!!!! 
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. 
Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim, as the allegations are not true, or I'll delete them immediately if that is indeed the case!
