Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as an official notice of my grave concerns regarding your recent actions, which have resulted in the dissemination of an erroneous and defamatory consumer credit report about me.

Let me be unequivocally clear : The FCRA mandates that all information in a consumers credit report must be reported with 100 % accuracy, verifiability, and completenessno exceptions. Furthermore, all data must be reported within the allowable periods as specified under the Act. Your failure to adhere to these legal standards is not just a mistake ; it is a blatant violation of federal law.

I demand that you provide incontrovertible proof that the information contained within the reported tradeline is 100 % accurate, complete, verifiable, and timely. Anything less than full compliance will not be tolerated.

How can there be a " Past Due- 30 Days Count '' when it clearly shows all " OK '' in the payment history? You are contradicting your claim. This is a violation and must be removed! Correct this at once! Also, By the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This unverified and inaccurate account has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.
