Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, How are you? I hope all is well. I am writing to you because I recently reviewed my latest credit report and I found a few negative items that I have NOT confirmed or accepted to be accurate. Id like to ensure that you have and ONLYRETAIN current, TRUE, CORRECT, COMPLETE, and MANDATED REPORTED information per FCRA regulations. I DEMAND, as it is my lawful RIGHT ( s ) to do so, that you DELETE all information that is deficient of any condition, mentioned above. I listed below all the information that I found to be untrue, incorrect, incomplete, untimely, not verifiable, and unsubstantiated. I have yet to be provided physical verifiable proof that the claims of negativity within my report are true. Ive noticed several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. Send me physical documentation 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, I DEMAND immediate DELETION of these items from my credit report. Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to ensure the 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 an accurate consumer. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards. 
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 and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.
