RE : 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures ACCOUNT IN QUESTION : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX I pulled a copy of my credit reports on all three bureaus, TransUnion XXXX XXXX and XXXX and noticed an account that is grossly inaccurate.

Uniformity is key when reporting a consumer 's information onto his/her credit file ACROSS ALL CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES. 

The late payments listed on this account are erroneous and inaccurate and need to be UPDATED TO PAID ON TIME AND NEVER LATE for dates XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX.
