This account accrued late fees, and was reported to the credit reporting agencies " without my permission '' providing my personal information to these credit reporting agencies. I did not sign any contracts or consent to any contracts with WELLSFARGO. This account was charged-off XX/XX/XXXX ; and there was an arbitration clause in effect by WELLSFARGO who violated that by allowing a debt collector to purchase this account without proper validation the debt was in fact mines. I was contacted via letter by the Debt collector XX/XX/XXXX ; I replied XX/XX/XXXX within the XXXX day time frame requesting the debt collector to validate the debt they state I owed.

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I am deeply concerned about the violation of my consumer rights through the dissemination of inaccurate information. Fair treatment by those in control is my fundamental right. Kindly provide me with all available details regarding the lapses in accuracy and compliance.

I have zero tolerance for negative information, certified or not. My utmost concern lies in the verifiable facts and truths regarding your company and the data pertaining to my credit profile. The erroneous credit report I received raises surprise as it should align with the FCRA and relevant Metro 2 data field formatting standards. I challenge you to create a verified, complete, and accurate document, presenting evidence for each claim. The XXXX XXXXXXXX highlights that any deviation from these standards jeopardizes data integrity, which is a matter of utmost seriousness. Failure to follow these standards could compromise the integrity of your data.
