Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives me the opportunity to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate. This law requires that all data included in a consumer 's file be documented and validated before it can go live for use by creditors, so I take this seriously! The allegations of delinquency and derogatoriness against me are false, and I will fight back with all my strength! Your report 's accuracy is crucial. The allegations you list don't meet federal or state requirements for reporting, so they can't be confirmed. I challenge this claim because it lacks compliance with basic reporting standards that would make me feel more confident in what's being said. You're required to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance.You must not report any claims that you know should be in compliance with regulations. We need to make sure all of your claims are accurate and reported in the correct format, which is required by law ( FCRA ) and reporting standards like METRO 2. So please take care with this! However, I request evidence that shows why my accounts are considered to be in a negative state. The proof of a permissible purpose for the inquiry or account within my report must be included. This letter serves as notice that you're not doing your job properly. If this issue isn't resolved immediately, there could be serious consequences, so I'm giving you 30 days from now ( the date of delivery ) to hopefully get everything sorted out and correct itself with no need for intervention or escalation! I would also like to receive physical proof of your actions and my updated credit report. The listed claims appear to be inaccurate. Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim, as the allegations are not true or I'll delete them immediately if that is indeed the case!

I am aware that you have been responding to many of the disputes, complaints, and challenges with pre-written standard form letters, despite the precise information consumers have provided. I am well aware that this is ILLEGAL ; as each consumer dispute must be addressed individually and dealt with in accordance with its particular merits.

My letters have written and generated using accessible software that is available to everyone. If you choose not to process or address my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. And it is against the law to delay the processing of letters from consumers based on the assumption that assistance from a third party may be available. This does not qualify as a legal exception. I am the sole author of any letters bearing my name, or they have been written by my advisors with my complete knowledge and consent. I understand that there is no requirement for you to request a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing consumer letters. If you fail to process my letters promptly, I will consider it as a deliberate disregard for my consumer rights. In such a case, I will be compelled to contact my attorney and pursue legal action.

According to the FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( l ) and the accepted STANDARD of Metro 2 data fild reporting, I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is not correct.

The allegations of delinquency and derogatory information against me are entirely false, I won't stand for any misinformation being associated with my name and fiancial history and I am determined to FIGHT back with ALL my strength! The accuracy of your credit report is crucial. The allegations listed do not meet the federal or state requirements for reporting and can not be substantiated. I challenge these claims due to their failure to comply with basic reporting standards, which would provide me with greater confidence in the accuracy of the information presented. It is your responsibility to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance. You must not report any claims that you know do not meet regulatory requirements.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: LAKE MICHIGAN CREDIT UNION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
See complaint ID XXXX I submitted last month. 

XXXX says that the account went negative on XX/XX/23 and the loan was finalized on XX/XX/23 and they " respecfully disagree '' that any conversation regarding adding the negative amount on to the loan took place. That was it. THIS IS WHAT THE WHOLE COMPLAINT IS BASED OFF OF. 

They have still withheld which employee it was that gave me false information. They also have no produced any phone records that would CLEARLY show which one of us is correct. I feel like these two reason alone is pretty telling. I have asked for this information on multiple different occasions. 

Also in their response they say they attempted to contact me, but could'nt leave a voicemail? I got those messages they sent me but I thought it was in regards to the loan payment! Both very vague messages like " call us when you can '' so when I did call, all that was discussed was the loan! They did not bring up the negative amount once!!!! 

How am I supposed to know that its negative when I am originally told that the account are closed and when I do call in they made no mention of it! 

Their response was baseless, incorrect and insulting. They still did not produce any evidence that they are correct except saying they " respectfully disagree ''.
