The payment history, status code, and date fields are not aligned with CDIAs Metro 2 Format, and the furnisher has failed to conduct a reasonable investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ). 
This inaccurate reporting continues to harm my credit profile and violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Additionally, any portion of this alleged debt that involved veterans benefits is exempt from attachment, levy, or collection under 38 U.S.C. 5301.

I request CFPB oversight to ensure XXXX XXXX corrects or deletes the inaccurate data and that the credit bureaus comply with FCRA and Metro 2 standards.
