Furthermore, the Act stipulates that no item may be reported outside the legally allowable period. I am formally demanding that you provide proof that each tradeline is not only 100 % accurate, complete, verifiable, and timely, but that your records fully comply with all federal regulations. Anything less than full compliance will not be tolerated. Specifically, the following tradelines must be addressed immediately, with supporting documentation to prove your compliance with the law, or they must be removed from my report without delay : XXXX - XXXX I am writing to dispute the late payment reported on my credit report.

If you can not verify the accuracy of this information, I request that you remove it from my credit report immediately.
