Complaint narrative:
A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or consciously avoids knowing that the information is inaccurate. Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) allows CRAs to furnish consumer reports in accord with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. ( b ) Grace period If an open end consumer credit plan provides a time period within which an obligor may repay any portion of the credit extended without incurring an additional finance charge, such additional finance charge may not be imposed with respect to such portion of the credit extended for the billing cycle of which such period is a part, unless a statement which includes the amount upon which the finance charge for the period is based was mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the date specified in the statement by which payment must be made in order to avoid imposition of that finance charge.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the account XXXX XXXX. I have disputed this account information as inaccurate with you, and you have come back to me and stated you were able to verify this debt. How is this possible? Under the laws of the FDCPA, I have contacted the collection agency myself and have been unable to get them to verify that this is indeed my debt. XXXX is reporting the account number as XXXX while Equifax reports XXXX is this possible when all data should furnished should be the same? I enclose copies of my requests to the collection agency, asking them to validate my debts, and the receipts showing that I sent these letters certified signature requested. This debt is not mine and I was given no evidence of my obligation to pay this debt to this collection agency. The FCRA requires you to verify the validity of the item within 30 days. If the validity can not be verified, you are obligated by law to remove the item. There is a clear case of unverified debt here, and I urge you to remove this item before I am forced to take legal action. In the event that you can not verify the item pursuant to the FCRA, and you continue to list the disputed item on my credit report, I will find it necessary to sue you.
