Complaint narrative:
As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) U.S. Codes, it is essential that information reported on a consumer 's credit report is accurate and reflects the true history of the account. Sections 1681s-2 and 1681c of the FCRA outline the responsibilities of furnishers of information and prohibit the reporting of outdated or inaccurate information, including the re-aging of debts.

Section 600.5807 of the Michigan Compiled Laws outlines the statute of limitations for various types of debt in Michigan. Here 's a breakdown : 1. **Contractual Debts** : For debts based on a written contract or agreement, such as loans or credit card debt, the statute of limitations is generally 6 years from the date the cause of action accrues. The cause of action accrues typically from the date of the last payment made on the account or the date of default, whichever is later.

2. **Open Accounts/Unwritten Contracts** : This section covers debts without a written contract, such as credit card debts where there's no signed agreement. The statute of limitations for these debts is also 6 years from the date of last payment or default Pursuant to the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( b ) ( 2 ), I have diligently provided evidence to rectify these errors.
