Consumer Complaint: ATTN : Risk Management Officer This is a DEMAND TO COMPLY LETTER with written instruction as it relates to I the consumer Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act has been established by Congress, your agency role to me the principal, A consumer, in fact, is to adopt reasonable procedures to uphold the need to ensure that your grave responsibilities fairness, impartiality, and respect for my right to privacy must be maintained for maximum possible accuracy. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e et seq, you may not procure or furnish a consumer report without following 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) as my written instructions as it relates. There has been a violation of these reasonable procedures because as I showed within my attachments there has been inaccurate and unverifiable information removed from another consumer reporting agency and has not been removed from your system. You should be aware your failure to maintain your reasonable procedures for maximum possible accuracy has resulted in a conspiracy that deprived me of my right pursuant to the Truth In Lending Act subsection 1602 ( f ) to extend new credit for me. This deprivation of my rights is a federal criminal violation under 18 U.S. Code 241. I am well aware of the fact that the reasonable procedures requiring each consumer reporting agency to compile and maintain files on consumers on a nationwide basis shall establish and maintain a notification system jointly with other such consumer reporting agencies pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( e ) ( 6 ). Understand this is NOT a dispute letter as there is nothing to dispute. I am DEMANDING you, the agent, follow your fiduciary responsibility to me and REMOVE/DELETE the following information from my consumer file. This has been an egregious failure to follow your very own reasonable procedures required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In the zip file attachment included with this letter, you will see my identifying information as well as my consumer report from XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax which shows these inaccurate and unverifiable information. However, these accounts are reported to the reporting agencies. This should not exist. You must have joint systems to notify each other of this incorrect information as consumer reporting agencies to maintain the maximum possible accuracy. This is a violation and failure to maintain your reasonable procedures for maximum possible accuracy and is false and misleading reporting. This information is also incorrect and falsely reports Metro 2 fields that do not match XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. I demand these accounts be removed from the consumer report by your consumer reporting agency for the federal law violation of failure to maintain your reasonable procedures for maximum possible accuracy and violation for failing to promptly delete the items of information as required for treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ).

Deprivation of Rights 18 U.S. Code 241. I am demanding my remedy for your willful noncompliance with each violation of the law. ? Violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681e- {$1000.00}?

Violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ) - {$1000.00} Total Amount Due : {$4000.00} I am well aware you have no legal standing in court and there are numerous counts of case law which illustrate the consumer reporting agencys failure to maintain reasonable procedures is grounds for a suit and judgment in favor of the plaintiff. I am not afraid to take legal action to cure my injury brought by each company. l am demanding that you remove this transaction from my report immediately as it is a violation of my rights as a federally protected consumer under Title 15 XXXX XXXX. I understand that you are required to notify me within 30 days and provide me with an updated copy of my credit report. Your willful noncompliance has civil liability under 15 U.S. Code 1681n et seq.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX, XXXX XXXX Equifax is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been validated, lets be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX, XXXX, Equifax and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211. Application For Award Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.
