Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FL XXXX XXXX XXXX Date : XX/XX/year> To : [ XXXX XXXX XXXX select the bureau reporting the incorrect late payments ] Subject : XXXX Dispute Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting DEPT OF ED/AIDVANTAGE Account Number : XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, This letter is a follow-up dispute regarding a previously challenged entry on my credit report : DEPT OF ED/AIDVANTAGE student loan account ( Account # XXXX ). The account is reporting XXXX XXXXday late payments, yet my XXXX credit report shows XXXX late payments for the same account. Additionally, the remarks clearly state Payment deferred, which indicates no payments were due during the period in question. 

Despite my prior dispute submitted on XX/XX/year>2025, the late payments continue to be inaccurately reported. I am requesting, once again, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Written proof of the investigation conducted and Verification of the reported late payments, including the payment schedule and due dates proving these were truly late. 

If you are unable to provide this documentation, as required by federal law, I am demanding that the negative payment history be immediately deleted from my credit report. 

The reporting of late payments during a period of deferment is not only misleading but violates the FCRAs requirement that all information be accurate and verifiable. Failure to correct this may result in further complaints filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and possible legal action. 

Please complete this investigation within XXXX  days and mail me a detailed report of your findings, as well as a corrected copy of my credit report if changes are made. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
