Complaint narrative:
OFFICIAL CONSUMER COMPLAINT and FORMAL DEMAND a thorough CHECK of the required CERTIFIED COMPLAINT REPORTING OF PHYSICALLY VERIFIED valid, true, accurate, complete, and timely of the reported alleged claims. Furthermore, I challenge you to provide evidence supporting these claims. As a consumer, I have the right to contest the reportability of any information that is deficient in any way. I demand that you promptly and PERMANENTLY delete any alleged claims of inquiries, delinquencies, or derogatory remarks if you are unable, unwilling, or fail to demonstrate lawful evidence as requested throughout this notice. This removal must be carried out without exception or delay. 

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 found a few negative items that I have NOT confirmed or accepted to be accurate. Id like to ensure that you have and ONLY RETAIN 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, and 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. Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to ensure 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. Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.
