Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern : The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives me the opportunity to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate. This law requires that all data included in a consumer 's file be documented and validated before it can go live for use by creditors, so I take this seriously! The allegations of delinquency and derogatoriness against me are false, and I will fight back with all my strength! Your report 's accuracy is crucial. The allegations you list don't meet federal or state requirements for reporting, so they can't be confirmed. I challenge this claim because it lacks compliance with basic reporting standards that would make me feel more confident in what's being said. You're required to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance.You must not report any claims that you know should be in compliance with regulations. We need to make sure all of your claims are accurate and reported in the correct format, which is required by law ( FCRA ) and reporting standards like METRO 2. So please take care with this! However, I request evidence that shows why my accounts are considered to be in a negative state. The proof of a permissible purpose for the inquiry or account within my report must be included. This letter serves as notice that you're not doing your job properly. If this issue isn't resolved immediately, there could be serious consequences, so I'm giving you 30 days from now ( the date of delivery ) to hopefully get everything sorted out and correct itself with no need for intervention or escalation! I would also like to receive physical proof of your actions and my updated credit report. The listed claims appear to be inaccurate. Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim, as the allegations are not true or I'll delete them immediately if that is indeed the case!
