Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Request for Description of Investigation Process - Disputed Account Dear CFPB, I am writing to follow up on my prior dispute regarding inaccuracies reported on my credit report. Despite my initial dispute, no changes have been made to the reporting of this account, and the erroneous late payments remain uncorrected.

Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies are required to provide a description of the investigation process within 15 days of receiving a consumers dispute. I am requesting a detailed description of the investigation process conducted for the account in question. 
Account Details : Creditor : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX High Balance : {$430.00} Last Verified : XX/XX/XXXX Date of Last Activity : XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX ( Equifax XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} Account Status : Open Payment Status : Current Credit Limit : {$500.00} Payment History : XXXX XXXX A XXXX late payment inaccurately reported for XXXX. 
XXXX : A XXXX late payment inaccurately reported for XXXX. 
Equifax : A XXXX late payment inaccurately reported for XXXX. 
Reason for Dispute The reported late payments are inaccurate, as I have made all payments on time, in accordance with my agreement. My attached payment records clearly demonstrate that no late payments occurred for this account. Despite my previous dispute, the erroneous reporting has not been rectified, violating the accuracy requirements of the FCRA under 15 USC 1681e ( b ).

Request for Investigation and Supporting Information Description of Investigation : Please provide a detailed description of the procedures followed to investigate my dispute, as required under 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ).

Verification Documentation : Include all documentation or records used to verify the alleged late payments.

Proof of Mailing Compliance : Under 15 USC 1666 ( b ), provide reasonable proof that each periodic statement was sent to me no later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Reference to PAANL ( Paid As Agreed Never Late ) The account history should reflect a status of Paid As Agreed Never Late based on my timely payments. In the absence of valid and verifiable proof of late payments, I demand that the credit reporting agencies promptly update the account status to reflect accurate reporting.

Legal Compliance As per the FCRA, you are required to conduct a fair and reasonable investigation and respond to my dispute within 30 days of receiving this letter. Failure to do so will constitute a direct violation of the FCRA, and I will pursue further action.

Enclosures Copy of credit report with highlighted inaccuracies.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect full compliance with the FCRA, Consumer Protection Act, and Truth in Lending Act. I look forward to receiving your response and resolution within the required timeframe. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
