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. 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 accuracy has resulted in a conspiracy that deprived me of my right under 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 that the reasonable procedures requiring each consumer reporting agency to compile and maintain consumer files nationwide shall establish and maintain a notification system jointly with other such consumer reporting agencies under 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( e ) ( 6 ).

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 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 according to 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ).
