Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MI)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

In XX/XX/year>, I hired a lawyer and informed XXXX XXXX that I would be filing for Chapter XXXX bankruptcy.

Failure to remove disputed items in a timely manner.

you furnished to { XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX } } an alleged transaction as Late.

15 U.S. Code 1666b - Timing of payments ( a ) TIME TO MAKE PAYMENTS Acreditormay not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless thecreditorhas adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required bysection 1637 ( b ) of this titleis mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I requested the information that must have or possess by law in order for you to furnish a payment as late.

This is being request pursuant rule 1002. 
In other words, to properly report information as verified, the furnisher must have sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that the information was true, and in doing this the conditions required by 15 USC 1666b must be met. 
You failed to provide the required requested information, you failed to proceed in accordance with the requires for a creditor to treat a payment as late. 
It has been over 30 days and you have not properly verify the information. 

Id. at 1303 ; see also Blacks Law Dictionary ( 11th ed. 2019 ) ( defining verify as [ t ] o prove to be true ; to confirm or establish the truth or truthfulness of ; to authenticate ). 
Importantly, a furnishers inability to conclusively determine that the disputed information is inaccurate does not mean that the furnisher is permitted to report back to the consumer reporting agency that its investigation verified the accuracy of that information. Instead, if the evidence available to the furnisher is insufficient to establish the truth or falsity of the disputed information, then, under the statutory framework, the furnisher must report that its investigation concluded that the disputed information can not be verified.

Hinkle, 827 F.3d at 1304. So, for example, if a furnisher is unable to verify that a consumer missed a payment, then it may be appropriate for the furnisher to delete any mentions of the missed payment while continuing to report other information about the account. 
Delete the information you are furnishing to the Consumer Reporting Agencies as late from account.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.
