- * * XXXX XXXX * * is XXXX and * * Comments * * state the account was Closed at Consumers Request. 
The XXXX Account label is inaccurate and misleading for a closed account. Please correct the classification to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

3 ) * * Account Type Detail missing at Equifax * * - TransUnion & Experian : Credit Card - Equifax : blank Please correct XXXX  to reflect Credit Card.

4 ) XXXX XXXX XXXXate Opened conflicting dates * * - TransUnion : XX/XX/XXXX- XXXX XXXX XXXX  : XX/XX/XXXX A single account can not have XXXX opening dates. Please verify and correct. 

5 ) * * High Credit contradictory values * * - TransUnion & XXXX  : {$21.00} - Equifax : {$2500.00} This inconsistency must be corrected to the true highest balance.

6 ) * * Credit Limit contradictory values * * - TransUnion & XXXX  : {$2500.00} - XXXX  : {$0.00} A {$0.00} credit limit is inaccurate. Please correct to {$2500.00}.

7 ) * * Last Reported conflicting dates * * - TransUnion & XXXX  : XX/XX/XXXX - Equifax : XX/XX/XXXX Please verify and report the correct date. 

8 ) * * Date Last Active conflicting dates * * - TransUnion : XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX  : XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX  : XX/XX/XXXX These can not all be correct. Please verify and correct.

10 ) * * XXXX XXXX = {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX * * All three bureaus properly show XXXX XXXX : {$0.00}. This confirms the account is not delinquent. Please ensure no hidden or residual derogatory coding is tied to this account.

11 ) * * Consumer Position Never Late on This Account * * I affirm that I have never been late on this XXXX XXXX credit card. Any late-payment notations or derogatory codes are false and unverifiable, and must be removed under 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

12 ) * * Closure Comments and Classification * * - TransUnion & Experian include Closed by Consumer, while XXXX  omits it. 
- Account XXXX still shows XXXX Account, which contradicts the closure. 
Please update all bureaus to consistently show XXXX Credit Card ( Closed by XXXX ). 

13 ) * * High Credit vs. Credit Limit Misclassification * * - TransUnion & Experian appear to report High Credit as {$21.00} ( highest balance ). 
- Equifax reports XXXX XXXX as {$2500.00} ( which is the limit, not the balance ). 
- Simultaneously, Equifax reports XXXX XXXX as {$0.00}. 
This is misclassification. Please verify and report * * XXXX XXXX * * and * * XXXX XXXX * * correctly across bureaus. 

14 ) * * Date of XXXX XXXX vs. Date of Last Payment Conflict * * - Experian reports Date of Last Activity as XX/XX/XXXX but Date of Last Payment as XX/XX/XXXX. 
- An account can not show new activity without a payment. 
Please correct or remove the inaccurate Date of Last Activity.
