On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed the above account via the CFPB portal. Under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 8 ) ], disputes submitted through XXXX are legally equivalent to direct disputes and trigger all duties under 607 ( b ), 611, and 623, including completion of a reasonable reinvestigation within XXXX  days and deletion of unverifiable/inconsistent information. 

A. Timeline of Noncompliance TransUnion Received XX/XX/XXXX Responded XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). XXXX  days elapsed Violation of 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 
Equifax Received XX/XX/XXXX Responded XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). XXXX  days elapsed Violations of 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( failure to delete when not timely completed ). 
XXXX  Received XX/XX/XXXX Responded XX/XX/XXXX ( Potential fraud involved ). XXXX  days elapsed Violations of 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( failure to notify and resolve within XXXX  days ). 

Because the XXXX reinvestigation window was exceeded, deletion is required. See 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ). 

XXXX XXXX Inaccuracies After Your Verifications Despite your responses, my current reports still show contradictory and incomplete data for the same tradeline. Continuous publication of inconsistent data is an ongoing violation of 607 ( b ) ( maximum possible accuracy ) and demonstrates an unreasonable reinvestigation under 611.
