3. **Non-Compliance with Reporting Requirements** Under FCRA Section 1681O, your company is obligated to ensure compliance with consumer protection standards when managing and reporting consumer information. The failure to address and correct the disputed data could be viewed as a violation of these statutory obligations, exposing your company to liability for any damages that I may have incurred as a result of such non-compliance. 

Given these violations, I request that you : - Promptly initiate a thorough investigation of the disputed information in accordance with FCRA guidelines. 
- Provide me with a written response detailing the results of the investigation within the statutory timeframe.
