By the way I hope that this does not hinder my ability to obtain employment due to this inaccurate information showing. I was advised by a legal friend of mine that under 15 US Code 1681a section 603 ( k ) ( b ) ( ii ) can be considered an adverse action. Therefore I want the following accounts to be updated to the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity and time.

Please investigate if every piece of information is correct.
