As per FCRA section 611, it is imperative that we have accurate records on file with those who rely upon them most- which includes not just customers but also potential lenders or employers! After doing some research into Metro 2 compliance standards as well ( since they are rather new ), I've found there may be some inaccuracies in reporting going forward if these issues aren't promptly resolved ; would love any feedback possible before taking action against us later down this road togetherMy credit report is a representation of my financial standing and I take pride in keeping it up-to date. With that said, you have the responsibility to keep my credit profile and report accurate, authentic, complete! Therefore I need you to provide me with verification of everything within my credit report in a TIMELY manner. The information in my credit report and below is inaccurate. It never had any verification, compliance with reporting laws by means or even credibility -- so now I'm going through the process of correcting this oversight permanently! 
The inaccuracies that are currently on my report are having a serious negative impact to my quality of life! The data on my credit report is of high importance and is currently not a representation of who I am financially because its inaccurate. I'm demanding accurate documentation so you can document me- the person who deserves status in society- correctly!! Please make sure that all inaccuracies are removed immediately and that I am furnished with a new credit report upon the completion of your investigations into the details of my credit records i reviewed my credit report and noticed several incomplete inaccurate furnished accounts on my report. you company are suppose to properly investigate the accuracy before publishing data.
