Consumer Narrative
XXXXXXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX This account is being illegally reported on my credit report. I requested method of verification on this account. I have recently been informed that there is TWO negative claims reported by XXXXXXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX for the SAME account on my consumer report and under my Social Security number. Upon reviewing a copy of my consumer report, I see an entry listing I have a {$260.00} Charge-Off on with major inaccurate information and it is affecting my report. How is this accurate if the term duration is inaccurate, no reported monthly payment amount, date opened is inaccurate, the account type is inaccurate, credit limit amount is inaccurate, past due amount is inaccurate, last reported date is inaccurate, last active & last payment date is inaccurate, and most importantly my DOB is reporting inaccurately. Therefore, I am now formally requesting method of verification according to the Metro 2 Compliance standards. Any automated response, or E-Oscar verification is unacceptable. This listed item is entirely inaccurate and incomplete and must be deleted. Furthermore, if at any time during your investigation the above account is verified by XXXX. I requested method of verification pursuant to the FCRA, including the name of the person with whom you spoke, who has firsthand knowledge of the account in question. 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy. 15 USC 1681 ( A ) ( 4 ) 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 02 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without written instructions. 15 USC 1681b ( A ) ( 2 ) 15 U.S.C. 1681c. ( A ) ( 5 ) Section : It states no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information. Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ) ( I ) If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation.
