DELETE NOW TO ANNUL THIS UNJUST ACCUSATION AND TO RETURN TO COMPLETE COMPLIANCE TO FEDERAL REPORTING LAWS AS IS OBLIGATED OF YOU. I DEMAND, lawfully mind you, that you very ATTENTIVELY REVIEW my formal writ composed DECLARATION of Not Proven Compliant Misinformation that is all or in part : DEFICIENT of adequate current status in fullness of TRUTH, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, documented OWNERSHIP, certifiable RESPONSIBILITY, or otherwise irrefutable compliant obligatory and regulatory requisite compliant reporting thereby mandating your immediate actions to rectify and remedy and any all infraction-ious behavior ( s ) by retaining or returning to DEMONSTRATED TRUE, CORRECT, COMPLETE, and COMPLIANT METRO 2 data field formatted reporting!

FEDERAL laws dictate that any and all derogatory or potentially injurious reporting MUST be all of the aforementioned and can NOT BE ASSUMED without undoubted CERTIFIABLE testimonial of FACTs ensuring the physically verifiability of the CONFIRMED manual validation of any item upon a consumer complaint, such as is this notice here and now. Please RETURN to or retain federally lawful reporting with your unwavering and unconditional annulment of every single one even each any and or all of the allegations accused of me deficient of physical evidence to every and all aspects of said claims, be them true or not. I as of late received a duplicate of my credit report from your consumer credit reporting agency -- WHICH BY THE WAY is self-proclaimed as being not only ACCURATE and COMPLETE but also XXXX XXXX COMPLIANT in the verification of your consumer credit reporting as DETAILED in the DESCRIPTION of e-OSCAR ( your web based automated verification process ). YOUR EXACT e-OSCAR definition ( per http : //www.e-oscar.org/about-e-oscar.aspx ) is that e-OSCAR is a web-based, Metro 2 compliant, automated system that enables Data Furnishers ( DFs ), and Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) to create and respond to consumer credit history disputes. CRAs include Equifax, XXXX, XXXX  and XXXX, their affiliates or Independent Credit Bureaus and Mortgage Reporting Companies. E-OSCAR also provides for DFs to send " out-of- cycle '' credit history updates to CRAs. The system primarily supports Automated Credit Dispute Verification ( ACDV ) and Automated Universal Data form ( AUD ) processing as well as a number of related processes that handle registration, subscriber code management and reporting.

ACDVs initiated by a CRA on behalf of a consumer are routed to the appropriate Data Furnisher based on the CRA and subscriber code affiliations indicated by the DF. The ACDV is returned to the initiating CRA with updated information ( if any ) relating to the consumer 's credit history. If an account is modified or deleted, carbon copies are sent to each CRA with whom the XXXX  has are porting relationship. AUDs are initiated by the DF to process out-of-cycle credit history updates. The system is used to create the AUD and route it to the appropriate CRA ( s ) based on subscriber codes specified by the XXXX  in the AUD record. The e-OSCAR AUD process is intended to provide the CRA with a correction to a consumer 's file that must be handled outside of the regular activity reporting cycle process. e- OSCAR may not be used to add or create a record on a consumer 's file or as substitute for " in-cycle reporting to the CRAs. Within the report I saw that there were late installments noted in the record history. Since I am somehow very defective in the matter as to the How, WHEN, and WHY these late segments are notations within my credit report which is otherwise remarkable in creditworthiness! Puzzled, I am enacting my rights to COMPEL you, as REQUIRED, to MANDATE the alleged data providers of these following notated UNPROVEN derogatory suggestions of late payments to surrender to you and you to me an evaluated proclamation of my record throughout the previous XXXX  years demonstrating when the due date of the record was and when the installment was handled. Furthermore, please require the accusing data provider to present their most upgraded Terms of Service Agreement that that outlines payment reconciliation. As I am POSITIVE you are aware, as a injured consumer, UNJUSTLY MIND YOU, I am lawfully within my consumer and civil rights to ask for any and all of the above and below DEMANDS under the terms of the Fair Credit Billing Act of 1975 ( FCBA ) As the OFFICIAL notice of my official writ composed DECLARATION of Not Proven Compliant Misinformation that is either or all of the following, YOU MUST ANNUL by REMOVAL of any DEROGATORY and or ADVERSE and yet UNPROVEN claims be it an account or an aspect of that account. PLEASE as you MUST, delete the foul mis-reportings and display any and all of my accounts as being PAID/PAYS as AGREED, NEVER LATE and as nothing else : ALLEGED CREDITOR/ DATA FURNISHER and ALLEGED ACCOUNT XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$640.00} XXXX XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$1700.00} XXXX XXXX data field formatted reporting! Please provide me with all of the information you used for your investigation, as required by FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please reply within XXXX  days or delete the negative items, as originally requested. If you FAIL to respond to this demand and tort notification, your firm will be added to the pending action as complicit in this data breach of my personal information.

1. Tell me in writing what information you refuse to remove and why.

2. Tell me in writing what you did to determine that the information was accurate.

3. Note the information as disputed BY the CONSUMER on my credit report According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in even a potentially fraudulent account. According to the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 611 ( a ) [ 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ], these disputed items must be reinvestigated or deleted from my credit record within XXXX  days. During the investigation period, these items must be removed from my credit report as the mere reporting of items prior to debt validation constitutes collection activity. I am also requesting the names, addresses and telephone numbers of individuals you contacted during your investigation. Please notify me that the above items have been deleted pursuant to 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) [ 15 USC 1681j ( a ) ( 6 ) ]. I am also requesting an updated copy of my credit report, which should be sent to the address listed below. According to the provisions of 612 [ 15 USC 1681j ], there should be no charge for this report. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at address noted below. I think XXXX Days should be ample enough time to get this completed since this is my NOT my first time contacting your organization. FURTHER, CONFIRM the five key components of our individual identities in case this data breach becomes yet another case potentially leading to my inclusion as a victim of fraud and or of identity theft due to YOUR DEFICIENT and NOT PROVEN COMPLIANT RETAINING and or REPORTING of consumer records, particularly that of personal identifiers.. Therefore, I must request that your bureau confirms in writing the following personal information : 1- FULL LEGAL NAME as it appears on my Credit report 2- Legal Address of Record 3- SSN # ( or redacted last 4 digits ) 4- Date of Birth 5- Zip Code for my Home Address The CRSA enacted CDIA XXXX XXXX compliant reporting format REQUIRES the precise and exact fully complete 426-character P-Segment or Trailing Segment that is to include the minimally five portioned PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS to which databasing of alleged tradeline information occurs. Per CRSA, auto-populating ANY data field input entry and or application of Slash Entries ( such as 11111 or 00000, etc ) into the XXXX XXXX system is automatic call for deletion due to any and all repeating entry as NULL and VOID. Moreover, the regulatory obligation dictates that any and all data furnishers MUST include an attached TRAILING SEGMENT that absolutely accurately and completely includes ALL of the account of allegation ( s ) specifics! Must be performed in a REAL-TIME browser LOCKDOWN to be lawful. Per CRSA implementation, if a data furnisher fails to respond withinXXXX calendar days, E-Oscar is to terminate challenge in favor of consumers and or auto-escalate any and all consumer complaints to a certified XXXX XXXX compliance trained SPECIALIST. Being Phase III of the Implementation of the CRSA, SMART auto-responders are not compliant and unlawful if used by furnishers or accepted by CRAa. Federal laws mandate MANUAL ENTRY for any and all consumer 's FULL P-Segment PREVIOUS coding for a RESPONSE, please certificate in testimonial fact to this occurring. Submit/re-submit shuffling to populate the XXXX XXXX  data fields are illegal. Responsible, Lawful, ethical, and compliant consumer credit reporting is the REQUISITE technical accuracy in EVERY single item retained and or reported to or by any consumer credit reporting agency. XXXX XXXX compliance requires exacting P-segment, to include the minimal five ( 5 ) portion personal identifiers as well as a PRECISELY and COMPLETELY FULL account trailing segment. Per the CRSA, any and all CRA insourced DISPUTE Specialist MUST BE XXXX XXXX Compliance Data Entry Evaluation CERTIFIED. Further, this qualifying certification can be REVOLVED by CONSUMER COMPLAINTS per the NYAG Signing Statement. I repeat, to lawfully retain and or report any claim of information, be it an account or any aspect of such, they must be irrefutable fullness in the truth of reporting, correctness of reporting, COMPLETENESS of reporting, TIMELINESS of reporting and of the reported allegations, undoubtable ownership, irrefutable responsibility of adverse claims, and or adequate and complete INFORMATIONAL COMPLIANCE to the CRSA enacted CDIA XXXX XXXX data field formatted reporting regulatory standards and obligations to include the XXXX-month time relevance of account reported/ how reported/when reported, PRESENT and RELEVANT PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS. Further lawful reporting demands that the regulatory compliance rules are applied EVENLY and thoroughly from data provider to consumer credit reporting repository. Accuracy and completeness of all of any and all information, particularly derogatory consumer information, must abide by every and one of current MY states reporting regulations as well as those of federal laws, even the CDIA XXXX XXXX COMPLIANCE standards due to the implementation of the Credit Reporting Settlement Agreement ( CRSA. ) Is the Personal Identifier information alleged in the reported 426-character P-SEGMENT true, correct, and complete to standards of CERTIFIED XXXX XXXX COMPLIANCE? Please demonstrate adequate proof of precisely true, accurate, and applicable VALIDATION of the claimed reported CREDITOR CLASSIFICATION CODES, or eradicate every single one and each any and all of the adversary derogatory accusations injuring me immediately, TODAY even NOW and HERE!

Please verify and validate physically each and every claim of this alleged yet unproven to be my responsibility or fault. Please demonstrate readily and timely the precise confirming facts of the alleged account including every single one even each any and or all of its article aspects by federal laws. You must willfully and promptly DELETE TODAY even right now the deficient reporting or else present to me true documented certificated proof of all data, every notation, date, balance, calculation, audit, personal identifiers, each of the requisite 426-characters of the exact and fully compliant P6 statement, any alpha/numeric and or alphanumeric source4 code deciding the leftness or rightness states, and even every aspect of the mandated 386 pieces of confirmation to collection. This series of misreporting seems to me clearly involves a universal and complete failure by your firm to obtain, retain, maintain, and utilize adequate and lawful regulatory compliant and reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of consumer credit information as described in at least 15 U.S.C. 1681. There is little doubt that you have no evidence that this clearly does belong to me, is exactly true, fully complete, within timely definition per federal standards and has been erroneously placed onto my credit report. The items of problematic accusations that I believe to be incorrect to its proper reporting and allowance of reporting per my state and federal laws are detailed both above and below.

Your failure to demonstrate the REQUIRED presentation of composed PROOF as demanded in this declaration would compel me to consult my consumer complaint lawfully to the members of the NCRWG, as undoubtedly reporting not only must be true, timely, and accurate but also in its COMPLETENESS of DATA ENTRY presented to any entity INCLUDING all consumer reporting repositories. By the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and per the standards of reporting compliance implemented with the CRSA enacted CDIA XXXX XXXX COMPLIANCE regulations, I demand that these above-mentioned derogatory items be investigated and permanently removed from my report. It is my understanding that you will recheck these items with the creditor who has posted them. Please remove any information that the creditor can not verify. I understand that under 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a ), you must complete this reinvestigation within 30 days of receipt of this letter.

Please send an updated copy of my credit report to the above address. According to the act, there shall be no charge for this updated report. I also request that you please send notices of corrections to anyone who received my credit report in the past XXXX  months. 

Thank you for your time and help in this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX
