Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.
