Complaint narrative:
I dispute any information on my credit report that is not true or documented. This includes any claims that have not been proven to be correct. I am doing this in accordance with the FCRA and the accepted STANDARD of metro 2 data field reporting. Allegations of delinquency and derogatoriness must be supported by factual document proof. I challenge the reputability of these allegations because they are unsubstantiated. According to federal and state law, you must report any allegation accurately and completely. It is wrong to report any claims that you know or should know are against the law or regulations. I'm writing to inform you that you need to make sure all your claims are factual and reported correctly. This is required by the Metro 2 reporting standard. I request that you provide physically verifiable evidence to support the existence of the account and evidence that the account was used for a permissible purpose. I am giving you 30 days to investigate this issue and determine whether it is still being reported accurately and in compliance with the law. If it is not, I want it removed from the report. I authorize you to mail me physical documentation of your actions and my updated credit report. When I made the decision to use my rights under FCRA, it was with an eye on challenging any information found in credit reports that are not accurate. By fighting back against this injustice, I am ensuring that the information on my credit report is accurate and reliable. I have every right to challenge any inaccuracies in a manner compliant with federal law when they are negatively affecting me financially because of their accuracy or completeness. This is just an allegation. There's no proof that I'm delinquent or derogatory, so how can you report this? With all due respect, the claims within my report are wrong! You have to follow proper procedures if these claims are in your system and to be used in my credit reports! I challenge the accuracy and fairness of your findings by demanding evidence before you make any claims and take such drastic measures against my reputation. I know that you can't just decide which rules apply to your organization, so I won't let anyone report any false claims. it's important to make sure all of your claims are accurate and reported in the correct format- this is required by law ( FCRA ) as well as Metro 2 standards. For any negative account, I demand documentation/proof proving why your company considers it delinquent or derogatory. You have yet to provide me with records documenting how your company verified and validated these accounts/claims. Your proof of each negative claim you placed on my credit report should also include proof of a permissible purpose for any inquiry into the account. It's time for me to get my life back! I need you to send over some physical proof of what has been done and an updated credit report. Either confirm that this matter has been reported correctly or remove it from the report immediately. I am giving you 30 days to investigate. These allegations are without merit. Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim. If any of these claims are not true, please delete them immediately so I can restore my good name. These reporting practices violate federal regulations, damage my credit reputation, and hinder my financial stability.
