In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the listed account below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy, confidentiality and accuracy under 15 U.S.C. 1681. 

XXXX account number : XXXX XXXX of 2020, XXXX reported an inaccurate 30 days late payment notice to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX consumer credit bureaus. This late payment was disputed by the borrower and XXXX deemed this late pay to be inaccurate, and removed this report from all three credit consumer bureaus. They did not remove this late payment report from the co-borrower consumer credit report which was also reported to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX consumer credit bureaus. XXXX disputed this report directly to XXXX and was verbally promised the error would be corrected. When it was not removed from XXXX, XXXX, or Equifax consumer credit bureaus, consumer opened disputes with each consumer credit bureau through their procedural channels. XXXX confirmed the late pay and a note of consumer disagreement was added to the consumer credit report of each consumer credit bureau, and was removed as promised by XXXX, and as had been removed for XXXX. 

Therefore, XXXX has violated the federally protected consumer rights as stated in : 611.
