Dear Manager of XXXX  XXXX XXXX, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to address an ongoing issue regarding my account with XXXX  XXXX XXXX, which has been a source of concern since XX/XX/. On that date, I took the initiative to settle my account by making a payment of {$800.00}, as per the guidance provided by your representatives. At the time, they assured me that within 30-45 days, the remaining balance would be removed from my credit report. 

Regrettably, despite my diligent efforts to resolve this matter, I have encountered significant challenges in achieving a resolution. It has come to my attention that XXXX has already removed the disputed account from my credit report as per our agreement. However, the other major credit reporting agencies have failed to update their records, continuing to report an inaccurate balance of {$1800.00}. This discrepancy is both perplexing and concerning. 

I am fully aware of my rights as a consumer, including the right to dispute inaccuracies directly with the creditor. In pursuit of a resolution, I have made numerous requests for documentation over the past few months, but unfortunately, these requests have gone unanswered. To clarify, when I settled the account, the outstanding balance stood at {$2200.00}, and I promptly paid {$800.00} as agreed upon. 

It is crucial to emphasize that the current situation represents a direct violation of my consumer rights. I hereby demand an immediate and unequivocal deletion of this erroneous account from my credit report. I believe this is a fair and just request given the circumstances surrounding our prior agreement. 

I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter, as it is negatively affecting my financial standing. I am hopeful that we can swiftly resolve this issue and rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report, thereby upholding the integrity of my financial history. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
