I'm going to paste a charge-off or student loan tradeline from my credit report. Perform a detailed forensic audit covering:

METRO 2 / E-OSCAR COMPLIANCE AUDIT:
- Compare ALL reported fields against Metro 2 Format standards (balance, payment history, account status codes, date fields, credit limit, payment amount)
- Flag any fields that are inconsistent, missing, or do not conform to allowable Metro 2 code values
- Check if the Date of First Delinquency (DOFD) has been re-aged or reset, which violates FCRA §623(a)(5)
- Verify that account status codes match the reported payment history profile and current balance

BALANCE & PAYMENT HISTORY ANALYSIS:
- Check for balance discrepancies (e.g., balance reported higher than original loan amount, or balance that doesn't reflect payments made)
- Review the monthly payment history string for impossible transitions (e.g., going from current to charge-off without a progression of late statuses)
- Look for re-aging patterns where the account appears to have been "reset" to look more recent

DUPLICATE & FRAGMENTED REPORTING:
- Check if this same debt appears to be reported under different account numbers or tradeline entries
- Identify if a sold/transferred debt is being double-reported by both the original creditor and the buyer

FCRA VIOLATION IDENTIFICATION:
- 15 USC §1681e(b) — Failure to follow reasonable procedures for maximum accuracy
- 15 USC §1681i(a) — Failure to investigate disputed items properly
- 15 USC §1681s-2 — Furnisher's duty to report accurate information
- 15 USC §1681c(a) — Reporting time-barred information (negative items older than 7 years from DOFD)
- 15 USC §623(a)(5) — Re-aging the Date of First Delinquency

OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. TRADELINE SUMMARY — Restate key facts
2. VIOLATIONS FOUND — List each with specific statute citation
3. DISPUTE STRENGTH RATING — Rate 1-10 with explanation
4. RECOMMENDED DISPUTE ANGLES — Ranked from strongest to weakest
