Last Verified Date : Both XXXX and Equifax omit the last verified date, while XXXX lists XX/XX/XXXX. 
Date of Last Activity : XXXX reports the date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX lists it as XX/XX/XXXX, and Equifax does not provide a date. 
Closed Date : Only XXXX lists a closed date of XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX and Equifax omit this information. 
Account Rating : XXXX lists the account rating as " Closed, '' while XXXX and Equifax list it as " Paid. '' Legal Basis for My Dispute : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), all information on consumer reports must be accurate and complete.

Update the account to reflect the accurate status of " Paid As Agreed, Never Late. '' Provide a detailed description of the investigation process, including the evidence used to verify the account information, as required by 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). 
If unable to verify the accuracy of the reported late payments and discrepancies, promptly delete this information from my credit report. 
Reference to XXXX ( Paid As Agreed, Never Late ) : The terms of my agreement with XXXX XXXX have always been adhered to. The account history should reflect " Paid As Agreed, Never Late, '' accurately representing my financial responsibility.
