Complaint narrative:
I am reminding you once again that you must remove any claims listed above or below that have not met the minimum criteria required for you to assume the privilege of reporting. If you fail to prove the undeniable facts of each allegation and adhere to the necessary reporting practices mandated by the XXXX Metro 2 Compliance standards, then I contest the reportability of any such claim. The XXXX XXXX stipulates that ANY DEVIATION FROM THESE STANDARDS JEOPARDIZES THE INTEGRITY OF THE DATA. Therefore, it is imperative that you accept my challenge to prove the accuracy and compliance of each claim. I demand that you remove any such claim immediately from reporting as I have requested.

My next letter will be a formal notification of my intent to take legal action against you, known as a XXXX notice. To be clear, you must demonstrate full compliance with all requirements and standards of the FCRA and the XXXX XXXX  Metro 2 Compliance mandates. I demand verification that every employee at your firm who has accessed or worked on the file in question has been properly trained in Metro 2 data field formatted reporting standards by a certified and qualified instructor.

I am not confident that you can meet the necessary requirements to successfully defend yourself in court, and I will use any deficiencies in your compliance to seek a minimum of {$1000.00} per violation, of which there appear to be many. Unless your letter confirms that you have already annulled the unproven claims against me and completely erased any records related to these claims, I will assume that you are hostile to my demands for proper reporting and intentionally disregarding your duties. If this is the case, civil suits are inevitable, and criminal charges may also be considered if your deception or lack of compliance causes any harm.

I conclude my communication with you with a genuine sense of professionalism and sincerity.
