Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request a detailed description of the investigation process regarding the disputed account on my credit report. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies are obligated to provide a description of the investigation within 15 days of receiving a consumer 's dispute. 

I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed that it is not reporting accurately. I had XXXX late payment on the account XXXX XXXX  XXXX, which I, in fact, paid on time. The consumer reporting agencies need to report all information with complete accuracy. This account has not been late on payments. I have attached a copy of my report to this complaint for reference. I am now requesting that you investigate this account and update the payment status to Paid On Time immediately. 

Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention. I appreciate you providing a description of the procedure used to investigate and verify this account. 

If you can not update the payment to reflect on-time status, please provide an explanation. I appreciate your prompt attention to this request and look forward to receiving a response within the timeframe established by the FCRA, the Consumer Protection Act, and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Reference to PAANL ( Paid As Agreed Never Late ) : The terms of our agreement have always been adhered to, and the account in question should reflect a status of " Paid As Agreed Never Late '' based on the timely payments made. It is imperative that my credit report accurately represents my financial responsibility and commitment to meeting payment obligations. 

I hereby request that you provide documented proof supporting the claim of late payments on this account. This proof should include specific details such as dates, amounts, and any relevant communication indicating that the payments were indeed late. In the absence of valid proof, I expect the credit reporting to be rectified promptly. 

If, after a thorough investigation, you are unable to provide verifiable proof of late payments, I demand that the account be promptly updated to reflect its accurate status as " Paid As Agreed Never Late. '' Per the FCRA, I request that you conduct a timely investigation and provide a written response within 30 days from the receipt of this dispute letter. Failure to adhere to this timeline will be considered a violation of the FCRA. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution that aligns with the legal obligations outlined by the FCRA. Your cooperation is crucial in maintaining the accuracy and fairness of my credit report. 

Additional Information : I have identified discrepancies in the reporting, and it appears to be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The reported late payment on the aforementioned account is inconsistent with my payment history. To the best of my knowledge and records, I have consistently paid this account in accordance with the agreed-upon terms. 
It is my understanding that, per 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), my consumer report should not contain information solely related to transactions or experiences between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( you ) making the report. 

Payment history and late payments associated with payment history negatively impact my consumer report and are considered part of my transactions and experiences with your company. 

Furthermore, I am requesting that you provide me, in writing, the reasonable procedures [ according to 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ] that you have adopted to ensure that each periodic statement is mailed to me ( the consumer ) not later than 21 days before the payment due date. Please include all the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of Title 15.
