This statute mandates that credit reporting agencies must promptly address such requests within four business days of receiving a complaint that includes the following information : XXXX XXXX - XXXX - I am writing to dispute the late payment reported on my credit report. The late payment listed is inaccurate as I have consistently made payments on time. I request that this information be verified with proper documentation.
