Specifically, I am referring to the account XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
which you have reported as late or inaccurately. Under 15 U.S.C. 1666b, 15 U.S.C.

1637 ( b ), and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, you are required to verify the accuracy of the information you report. You have violated these provisions, and I demand that you take immediate corrective action.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1666b ( Timing of Payments ) Under 15 U.S.C. 1666b, a creditor may not report a payment as late unless it follows specific procedures designed to ensure that the periodic statement is sent to the consumer at least XXXX  XXXX  before the due date. 
If you have received information from a furnisher regarding this alleged debt, and it does not comply with the XXXX rule for sending periodic statements, that alone renders the reporting of this debt inaccurate. 
You have failed to provide proof that the creditor properly followed the required procedures under 15 U.S.C. 1666b before reporting this alleged late payment to my credit report.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1637 ( b ) ( Required Information on Statements ) Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1637 ( b ) requires that all periodic statements include detailed information. This includes the amount of the payment due, the date on which the payment is due, and other necessary elements to comply with consumer protection regulations. 
I request that you provide evidence that the periodic statement was sent in full compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1637 ( b ), including the following : Evidence that the statement was mailed or delivered to me at least XXXX days prior to the payment due date. 

The full information required to be included in such a statement, as outlined in the statute. 
Failure to provide this evidence means that the information can not be verified and must be deleted from my credit report immediately.

Violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( Furnishers Duty to Report Accurate Information ) Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) are prohibited from reporting inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information.

Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) provides that furnishers must correct or delete inaccurate information after receiving a notice of dispute from the consumer. 
As the furnisher of this alleged debt, you have violated this provision because : The debt reported is inaccurate and incomplete.

You have failed to verify the accuracy of the information after I disputed it.

You have failed to properly investigate the validity of this debt, in violation of your duties under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ).
