I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed an account that was not reporting accurately. I had three late payments on an account that I was in fact paid on time.

I've attached a copy of my report to this complaint on the following dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 

I'm now requesting you investigate and provide verifiable proof with records showing that I had late payments. If this information can not be verified I demand these payments be updated to paid on time immediately. Thank you for your understanding and prompt action.
