I request that you fully investigate and correct the information currently reflected on my credit report. 

The reporting of these late payments is not accurate and does not reflect the true status of my account. As per the XXXX method, it is your responsibility to ensure that all information reported is not only complete but also accurate, and it must maintain maximum integrity in the credit reporting process. The inaccuracies on my credit report violate the principles of fair and accurate reporting and must be corrected immediately. 

Specifically, I am disputing the following : - XXXX late payment : XXXX - XXXX late payment : XXXX - XXXX late payment : XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX late XXXX - XXXX late payment : XXXX - XXXX late XXXX Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ), creditors are required to report accurate and complete information to the credit bureaus. Your failure to do so is in direct violation of the FCRA, and I demand that these late payments be removed or corrected to reflect the true payment history. This is further supported by the requirement under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates that when a consumer disputes information, the reporting entity must investigate and correct any errors or inaccuracies. 

In addition to disputing these late payments, I also request that XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX review the entire reporting for completeness and accuracy, in line with the complete and maximum integrity principle. If this information can not be verified as accurate, I demand that it be immediately removed from my credit report in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c. 

Please provide written confirmation of the outcome of your investigation within XXXX  days, as mandated by 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( XXXX ). If the results of your investigation confirm that these late payments were reported in error or were unverifiable, I require that the information be corrected and that my credit report be updated accordingly. 

Failure to comply with these requests may leave me no choice but to pursue further legal action under the FCRA, including but not limited to filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and taking legal action for non-compliance. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
